Yes. It can, as BIS regulations are becoming stricter, resist the circulation of low-quality electronic appliances within the domestic electronic market and electronic business. 

The diverse consumer electronics business landscape underwent numerous changes with the introduction of the BIS CRS Certification scheme in India. Although it was introduced back in 2012, instances of violating BIS Regulations led the Bureau of Indian Standards to tighten BIS regulations. 

Did The Applicability of BIS on Electrical Goods Turn Stricter in 2025?  

Technically speaking, it’s a yes! 

That’s because- 

• Bureau of Indian Standards won’t even let a single electronic part or component hit the Indian domestic market without the BIS CRS Certification scheme
• As of now, benchmarking the quality of foreign-manufactured electrical appliances is mandatory before circulating in domestic markets
• India has recently banned the import of cheap Chinese electronic products completely
• Above all, the Bureau of Indian Standards has now mandated that only BIS-compliant electronic products are available in the Indian market
• Recently, BIS searched and seized huge volumes of consumer electronics from retail stores (both online and offline warehouses) and seized cheap Chinese electronic products for defying BIS regulations in India
• In January, a Delhi-based retail store was nabbed for commercially selling foreign-manufactured smartwatches without a BIS CRS registration mark. Around 4,000 units of electronics were raided and seized from the retailer
• Recently, a popular electrical consumer appliance brand has been penalized for the commercial sale of electrical items with expired BIS certification 

On the other hand, stricter BIS regulations have increased the scope for domestic electronic appliance manufacturers. It has helped domestic manufacturers of electronic appliances to gain brand popularity within the Indian electronic business landscape.
