Mandatory 'Country of Origin' Filter Proposed for E-Commerce Platforms
The Department of Consumer Affairs in India has proposed a draft amendment to make it mandatory for e-commerce platforms to include searchable and sortable filters for the 'Country of Origin' of packaged commodities. This initiative aims to enhance consumer empowerment and transparency, allowing consumers to make informed purchasing decisions. The amendment supports local products and aligns with national initiatives like 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and 'Vocal for Local'. Public consultation is open until November 22, 2025.
