Govt. brings smartphone screen protectors under Bureau of Indian Standards
The mandatory BIS certification will be effective from April 1, 2027
The Indian government has mandated that all smartphone screen protectors must be BIS certified before being sold in India. This new rule, effective from April 1, 2027, aims to eliminate low-quality products and support domestic manufacturers. Optiemus Infracom, a key player in the industry, plans to increase production capacity by 2 crore units to meet rising demand.
The move is expected to generate a market worth Rs 12,000-16,000 crore, create 60,000 jobs, and contribute Rs 2,000 crore in GST revenues annually. With over 500 million smartphone screen protectors sold yearly, this new standard will help build a quality-led ecosystem in India and position the country as a global manufacturing and export hub.
