India delays energy efficiency deadline for counter-top induction hobs
Change
India delayed the mandatory star-labelling compliance for counter-top induction hobs by six months, moving the enforceable deadline from July 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027.
Why it matters
Regulatory enforcement of mandatory star-rating requirements for counter-top induction hobs is suspended, removing the immediate compliance obligation for manufacturers and importers. The pause creates uncertainty for buyers and for schedules tied to energy-efficiency upgrades, forcing changes to procurement and certification timelines.
Implications
- • Counter-top induction hob manufacturers' production planning teams must revise manufacturing and upgrade schedules to avoid producing stock that will require rework or recertification when the mandate resumes.
- • Appliance certification laboratories must reschedule testing slots and notify clients of revised timelines to prevent a testing backlog ahead of enforcement resumption.
