The Delhi branch of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) conducted a series of raids on Amazon and Flipkart warehouses on Thursday, seizing thousands of substandard items. The operation, which lasted over 15 hours, was carried out at Amazon’s warehouse in the Mohan Cooperative Industrial Area, Delhi, and a Flipkart subsidiary warehouse in Trinagar.
According to a statement by the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the raid at Amazon’s warehouse led to the confiscation of over 3,500 items, including geysers, food mixers, and various electrical appliances. Officials found that many of these products either lacked the mandatory ISI certification or carried counterfeit ISI labels. The total value of the seized goods is estimated to be approximately Rs 70 lakh.
