Amazon aur Flipkart ne apne platforms se un sabhi internet-connected security cameras ko hata diya hai jo mandatory BIS certification ke standards ko meet nahi kar rahe the. Ye move national security aur data privacy ko lekar liye gaya hai.
E-commerce giants par badhta regulatory pressure
Ab tak Amazon aur Flipkart ye kehkar bachte rahe the ki wo sirf intermediaries hain, par government ne ab saaf keh diya hai ki platform owners apne site par bikne wale har product ki quality aur compliance ke liye responsible hain. April 1, 2026 se लागू hue naye mandate ke hisaab se, ab sabhi CCTV hardware ko STQC directorate se test hona zaroori hai.
Security concerns aur fines ka maamla
Ye crackdown koi pehli baar nahi hai. September 2026 mein Central Consumer Protection Authority ne Amazon aur Flipkart par ₹10 Lakh ka fine thoka tha, kyunki wahan ek unregistered herbicide bik raha tha. Sarkar ab surveillance tech se lekar chemical goods tak, har cheez par tight grip rakhe hue hai taaki data privacy aur national security se koi compromise na ho.
Investors ke liye kya hai insight?
Market mein ab wahi brands tikenge jo compliant hain. Kai sellers ne toh apne cameras ke remote features hi disable kar diye hain taaki wo platform par bane rahein. Investors ko ab ye dekhna hoga ki in platforms ki operational cost kitni badhti hai, kyunki lakhon listings ko monitor karna aur compliance check karna koi chhota kaam nahi hai. Platforms ko apne seller base aur safety norms ke beech balance banana padega, jiska asar long-term operational efficiency par padega.
