Our role

Navigating the regulatory and policy environment within multiple domains

The mattress and sleep products industry in India operates within a regulatory and policy environment that touches multiple domains, from raw material import duties and GST classification to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) compliance and environmental regulations. Navigating this landscape requires a coordinated industry voice, and that is precisely the function ISPF performs. We identify potential policy changes that could affect members, prepare evidence-based submissions, and follow through on these engagements.

How This Supports Your Business

For manufacturers and suppliers, staying ahead of regulatory change is a business necessity. Sudden shifts in compliance requirements or input costs can disrupt production planning and pricing strategy. ISPF's advocacy work creates a buffer, by the time a policy change reaches implementation, our members have typically had advance visibility and the opportunity to feed into the process. Beyond regulatory engagement, our policy work also covers advocacy for industry-friendly infrastructure, improved logistics connectivity to manufacturing hubs, access to formal credit for MSMEs in the sector, and skill development frameworks aligned with the needs of mattress production.

Participating in policy dialogue

ISPF welcomes active participation from member companies in our policy working groups. If your business has a specific concern related to compliance, standards, or trade policy, our team can advise on the right channels and, where appropriate, take up the matter through formal ISPF submissions. Policy change works best when it is driven by a collective industry position, and that collective position is built through the engagement of our members.
