The government is planning to set up modern toy testing facilities across India’s toy manufacturing clusters to help Indian-made toys meet global quality and safety standards, thereby supporting export growth. According to reports, the move is being pushed by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, who said the initiative aims to improve competitiveness in international markets. Goyal also urged the toy industry to participate actively in the process by identifying the specific testing equipment and capabilities needed for effective compliance checks. The proposal focuses on strengthening quality assurance so that toys produced in India can better align with stringent requirements for safety and performance in overseas markets. The government’s approach is described as cluster-based, meaning testing infrastructure is intended to be established near manufacturing hubs to make testing more accessible and reduce barriers for exporters. Overall, the announcement links upgraded testing capacity with efforts to expand exports and improve the reliability of product standards for global buyers.
