OPPI Secretariat had sent a detailed mail to you on 13th November 2025 giving there in the background for the cancelation of the above mentioned Quality Control Orders. In our communications to the Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals we had humbly submitted that BIS Standards should be made mandatory first for the Plastic Finished Products which are being imported in huge quantities and that too of inferior quality. We support mandatory BIS on Plastic Finished Goods. The huge number of Plastic Products are spread over various Chapters like 39, 42, 48, 71, 90, 91, 94, 95 and Chapter 96. Therefore our humble submission once again is that BIS can be applied on plastics finished products before applying on Polymers. This submission is being made keeping in view the national priorities. To fulfill dream of Atmanirbhar Bharat, It is necessary to focus on Plastic Finished Products, where value addition and job creation are larger. With Best Wishes, Pradeep Rathod President, OPPI
