Bar Coding Using International Symbologies/ Numbering System
It is the endeavor of the Central Govt. to enhance export
competitiveness of Indian products and to promote compliance with
prevalent international best practices. The National IT Task Force has
recommended adoption of Bar Coding for all Indian Products within five
years.
Bar Coding, using international Symbologies/Numbering Systems,
would enable timely and accurate capture of product information and its
communication across the supply chain ahead of the physical product
flow. This, in turn, would result in wide ranging benefits, including
lowering of inventory costs, lower overall supply chain costs and hence
reduced costs for Indian products, increasing efficiency of Indian
industry and adherence to stringent quality assurance norms through
product traceability.
