₹50,000–₹500,000 per shipment (customs hold + rework). Estimated sector-wide: ₹2,000–₹5,000 crores annually based on 28.86 billion USD import value and 2-5% typical compliance failure rate.The OTR Order, effective 1 September 2026, mandates BIS certification for machinery exports. MSMEs (comprising 90% of 150,000 affected manufacturers) face financial and technical constraints. Failure to certify results in customs holds, import rejection, and fines. Importers cite concerns about USD 28.86 billion in affected imports (4% of India's total imports for FY 2024-25), with import growth at 11% against national average of 6%.

₹30,000–₹150,000 per manufacturer in redundant compliance consulting, testing postponement fees, and delayed ROI on certification infrastructure (labs, software). Estimated sector loss: ₹200–₹600 crores based on 150,000 manufacturers × 50% requiring infrastructure investment × average ₹80,000 cost × 1.5x inefficiency multiplier.OTR Order originally set for August 2025, then extended to September 2026 (via June 2025 Amendment). For components/sub-assemblies, separate implementation date to be 'notified by Central Government through Gazette notification'—still not announced (as of July 2025 BIS guidance).

BIS certification requires testing against Indian Standards, mandatory documentation, and periodic surveillance audits. MSMEs cite lack of technical resources and infrastructure as barriers.
