India Market Entry — Reference Books

BIS Certification for Electronics Products — The Book

The reference you keep open while you work — not a video you have to scrub back through. The same curriculum as the Krono Labs BIS Certification for Electronics Products course, in a format you can read in one sitting, search in seconds, and return to mid-project. Covers the complete BIS certification process for foreign manufacturers entering the Indian market — the regulatory framework, Quality Control Orders, IS standards, the Compulsory Registration Scheme, the Foreign Manufacturer Certification Scheme, type testing, the BIS OBD portal, AIR appointment, marking requirements, WPC/MTCTE obligations, and post-certification compliance. Written for founders and engineers alike.

India Wireless Type Approval: WPC ETA & MTCTE

India runs two mandatory wireless certification schemes — WPC ETA and MTCTE — administered by two different arms of the Department of Telecommunications, through two separate portals, against two different sets of requirements. Tens of thousands of product types require one or both before they can legally enter the Indian market. This reference guide covers every layer of both schemes: the Telecommunications Act 2023, the NFAP 2025 National Frequency Allocation Plan, India's gazette-notified de-licensed frequency bands, the WPC ETA application process through the Saral Sanchar portal, the MTCTE certification process through the TEC portal, Phase VI products that became mandatory in August 2025, dual-approval project management, test laboratory selection for both NABL-accredited and TEC-designated CABs, Authorised Indian Representative obligations, Import License workflow, post-market compliance, and the most common failure modes — each with a documented fix. Worked examples throughout, including a complete dual-approval walkthrough for a Wi-Fi router and a multi-radio IoT gateway. Keep this open alongside the Saral Sanchar portal and the MTCTE portal. Search it mid-application. Return to it when product changes raise new questions. It is the India wireless compliance reference that replaces scattered gazette notifications, outdated web guides, and hard-won institutional knowledge.

EPR Compliance in India: E-Waste and Plastic Packaging

India's Extended Producer Responsibility framework places concrete legal obligations on every company that manufactures, imports, or sells electrical and electronic equipment or plastic-packaged goods in the Indian market. Two parallel EPR regimes — the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 as substantially amended in 2022 and again in 2026 — apply to overlapping sets of companies through two separate CPCB portals, with distinct registration processes, recycling targets, certificate systems, and annual return obligations. This book is the complete practical guide to both India EPR schemes. It covers the legal architecture of each framework, how to determine whether your company and products are in scope, how CPCB portal registration works for e-waste and plastic packaging, how recycling targets are calculated and discharged through the EPR certificate system, the mandatory recycled content obligations introduced by the 2026 Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules, what annual returns require, and how to build a multi-year compliance programme that keeps both registrations current and audit-ready. The book is grounded in the E-Waste Rules 2022 effective 1 April 2023, the PWM Amendment Rules 2026 notified 31 March 2026, and the QR and barcode traceability requirements in force from July 2025. Three end-to-end worked examples, decision trees for every classification question, and a full compliance calendar make this a working reference rather than a regulatory summary.
