The Central Government has revoked the Quality Control Order (QCO) requirement for Viscose Staple Fibre (VSF) with immediate effect. In a statement, the Ministry of Textiles said that the removal of the QCO on VSF is expected to ensure seamless access to quality raw material, enhance global competitiveness, and drive industry-led growth to support these national objectives.
The Ministry emphasised that the decision directly responds to persistent industry concerns about supply constraints and higher costs, and demonstrates the government’s commitment to improving ease of business for textile manufacturers, exporters, and MSMEs. It said that the decision comes at a crucial time as India’s textile sector pursues the ambitious Vision 2030, aiming to boost domestic consumption and meet the target of 100 billion US dollars in exports.
The Ministry said that the move comes after the consultation with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and key industry stakeholders, in order to address raw material accessibility and foster growth in the textile industry.
