Category : Business and economics Published on: October 25 2025
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution has issued an important amendment to the Vegetable Oil Products, Production and Availability (Regulation) Order, 2011, now called the VOPPA Order, 2025. The amendment mandates that all edible oil manufacturers, processors, blenders, re-packers, and other stakeholders must register under the order and submit monthly production and stock returns via the designated online portal. This regulatory enhancement aims to ensure accurate data collection, real-time monitoring, and improved policy intervention in the edible oil sector. Non-compliance will attract penal action under the amended VOPPA Order and the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008, strengthening enforcement and transparency in the sector.
