India’s Quality Control Orders QCOs Hinder Economic Growth and Global Trade Integration

Designed initially to impose quality requirements on imports, these QCOs have evolved into instruments for limiting foreign commodities, impacting everything from chemicals to shoes. These orders erratic and widespread implementation upset supply chains and led to monopolies, eventually lowering productivity and impeding job development.

Indias economic expansion and inclusion into international trade networks may be jeopardised by this strategy. Read More..
