Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 – Recent Updates
Summary: The Consumer Affairs Ministry of India has proposed amendments to the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, aiming to require key information disclosure for pre-packaged goods over 25 kg or liters. This move seeks to end the current exemption for bulk packages and enhance consumer information by mandating the display of MRP, best before date, manufacturer information, and country of origin on all pre-packaged goods. Public comments are invited until July 29, allowing stakeholders to provide feedback before finalization. These amendments aim to improve transparency and informed purchasing decisions in the consumer goods market, though their implementation and compliance monitoring may present challenges.
