A Retailers Association of India delegation took part in a conference on Legal Metrology Reforms and Effective Implementation, organised by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India, in Lucknow. RAI’s Advocacy Committee Chairperson, Jyothi V.K., made a detailed presentation on the key challenges retailers face in implementing Legal Metrology regulations, which was well received by government officials present.

Jyothi said simpler regulations, a reduced compliance burden and greater trust between government and business could meaningfully improve ease of doing business while keeping consumer interests protected.

RAI thanked the Department of Consumer Affairs and the Legal Metrology Department for the platform for dialogue, and reiterated its commitment to working with the government toward a simpler, more efficient regulatory environment for retail.
