Eveready to See Benefits from BIS for Flashlights by FY27
Eveready, a major flashlight maker, is getting ready for new government rules.
These rules make sure all flashlights meet safety and quality standards.
This should make it harder for cheap, low-quality flashlights to be sold, especially those from other countries.
Eveready is already making flashlights that follow these rules at their factory in Lucknow.
The company thinks the new rules will help them by making the market more fair.
Eveready expects to see the benefits of these new rules soon, as it helps to improve the flashlight industry.
Eveready expects benefits from BIS implementation in its flashlight business starting next fiscal year.
BIS norms aim to create a level playing field by addressing low-quality imports.
Eveready has increased production capacity and is manufacturing BIS-compliant products in Lucknow.
The flashlight market is valued at ₹1200-1500 crore, with a large unorganized segment.
