The Indian government has included smartphone screen protectors under mandatory quality guidelines to improve product standards. Manufacturers now have six months to comply with these new regulations, which take effect in 2027. This initiative aims to protect consumers from low-quality imports, mainly from China, while boosting local production. Industry experts estimate that this move could create significant job opportunities and additional tax revenues.
