The Department of Legal Metrology, Delhi, on May 11, 2026, issued the Draft Delhi Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Amendment Rules, 2026, to further amend the Delhi Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2011.
The following has been stated:-
•The Delhi Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Amendment Rules, 2026, introduce major changes to licensing procedures for manufacturers, repairers, and dealers of weights and measures.
•Licences will now be issued on a self-declaration basis without prior inspection and will remain valid indefinitely unless suspended or cancelled.
