Diet Coke, beer makers get 6-month breather as govt extends aluminium can certification deadline
Reported by Economic Times Industry, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
The deadline extension gives beverage makers extra time to certify aluminium cans, helping them address current supply shortages and meet rising consumer demand.
The government has extended the deadline for quality certification of aluminium beverage cans to April 2027. The extension provides manufacturers necessary time to increase production amidst growing demand. Many brands are experiencing supply challenges due to disruptions from the Middle East conflict. The beverage industry had hoped to produce additional cans but fell short of expectations. Consequently, manufacturers are seeking regulatory relief as they attempt to meet rising consumer needs.
In many countries, aluminium beverage cans must pass a quality certification process to ensure safety and performance, and manufacturers must obtain this certification before using new production lines or materials.
