An online meeting was held between industry representatives and officials from the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).

"Based on our request, a meeting of our association was held with senior officials of DPIIT," said Narinder Bhamra, president of the Fastener Manufacturers Association of India.

During the meeting, the officials solicited suggestions for how to address this issue.

"After extensive discussions, the industry recommended that the government impose a Quality Control Order on our industry, under which specifications and quality standards should be fixed," he added.
