Q. "Building Better: India's Path to Superior Quality Infrastructure" report, recently launched by which organization?
Answer:
Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI)
Notes: The GTRI released the "Building Better: India's Path to Superior Quality Infrastructure" report, highlighting how India can enhance its quality infrastructure. Key components include Standardization, Quality Control Orders (QCOs), and Compulsory Registration Orders (CROs) led by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The BIS Act 2016 simplified notifying standards, leading to over 140 QCOs for 550+ products. Despite rapid QCO issuance, implementation challenges persist for firms, importers, and agencies.
