The Indian government has extended the compliance deadline for the Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Order, 2024, from 28 August 2025 to 1 September 2026. This extension allows domestic and foreign manufacturers more time to meet updated BIS safety standards for machines placed on the Indian market. From the new deadline, a BIS licence will be mandatory for all listed machines. Separate dates will be announced for assemblies, sub-assemblies, and components. The move supports industry readiness while ensuring safety compliance.
