DIPP asks federations to update contact details

The Commerce and Industry Ministry today asked all associations and federations engaged in manufacturing in 29 sectors, including cigarettes and cosmetics, to provide their updated names and addresses for future correspondence.
"It is being observed for a long time that the letters sent by DIPP to some of these associations/federations are not delivered and returned to the department. The reason for this may be that their addresses may not be updated on their websites," Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) said in a communication.
It clarified that DIPP deals in policy issues in respect of these items.
To formulate any policy or making any decision on a specific item, manufacturers' associations or federations concerned are consulted and the decision is taken only after taking into account their views, it said.

"All the associations/federations manufacturing these items... And who wish to interact with DIPP may send their names and updated addresses along with contact numbers, e-mails and fax numbers to DIPP at the earliest to include their names for future correspondence," it said.
The 29 sectors include soaps, candles, photographic raw films and papers, wood and plywood, glass and glassware products, imitation jewellery and packaging materials.
