India's Ministry of Chemical and Fertilizer recently issued a notice announcing the suspension of the quality control order (QCO) on imported linear alkyl benzene (LAB) from the date of the notice to July 1. The policy change was introduced in consultation with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in response to the impact on domestic LAB supply caused by the ongoing disruption of the current global supply chain.

Policy Background and Motivation

Since April 3, 2023, India has listed BIS certification as a mandatory requirement for imported linear alkyl benzene (LAB) sales in the Indian market to ensure product quality and safety. However, the recent geopolitical conflicts, logistics bottlenecks and raw material price fluctuations and other multiple factors, resulting in serious instability in the global LAB supply chain, import supply delay, the number of arrival of goods significantly reduced, has directly affected the normal production rhythm of India's domestic downstream detergent manufacturers.

Market Impact and Industry Analysis

Industry insiders pointed out that India's temporary relaxation of import restrictions will effectively alleviate the raw material anxiety of downstream enterprises and stabilize the overall operation of the daily chemical industry chain. By temporarily exempting quality control requirements, enterprises can quickly obtain more sources of goods, avoid production interruptions due to shortage of raw materials, and ensure stable market supply.
