Para 14.8 - Bar Coding Using International Symbologies/Numbering System
It is the endeavor of the Central Government 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.
