The article from Inc42 reports that the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) conducted raids on warehouses of major e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart in Mumbai, seizing products such as geysers, electric immersion water heaters, and various types of footwear. These items were confiscated because they did not comply with the mandatory BIS certification required under the Indian government's Quality Control Orders (QCOs). The raids, which took place in areas like Bhiwandi, Thane, and Navi Mumbai, resulted in the seizure of goods worth over Rs 1 crore. This action is part of a broader initiative to enforce quality standards and protect consumers from substandard products, highlighting the government's commitment to ensuring product safety and compliance in the e-commerce sector.
