This regulation applies to all types of diesel generators and their assemblies, sub-assemblies, and components, including:

  • Portable and standby generators
  • Industrial and silent generators
  • Marine and trailer-mounted generators

It also covers key components such as engines, alternators, control panels, fuel tanks, and cooling systems.

Applicable HSN Codes:

  • 8502
  • 8503

Compliance Deadline:

1st September 2026 – Post this date, only BIS-certified diesel generators and components will be allowed to be manufactured, imported, or sold in the Indian market.

Important Note:
