Regarding the preparation of Maharashtra Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2025-
Due to increasing industry and trade, the current metrology system is not able to achieve the objective and quality of verifying and stamping weights and measures for maximum users due to insufficient manpower. Therefore, under the government’s Ease of Doing Business policy, it is necessary to allow private laboratories to conduct verification and stamping of weights and measures through valid metrology systems in a fast, accurate and transparent manner through a third party. The main objective of framing the Maharashtra Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2025 is to verify and stamp weights and measures through these laboratories. Accordingly, with a view to establishing the said parallel system, the matter of preparing Maharashtra Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2025 and publishing them with the approval of the Central Government is under consideration of the Government.

As per the provisions of the Valid Metrology Act, 2009, if private experimental schools are to be allowed to verify and stamp weights and measures in the state of Maharashtra, it is necessary to formulate the rules for Government Approved Test Centres of the states.
Accordingly, the draft of Maharashtra Legal Metrology (Government Approved Test Centre) Rules, 2025 was sent to the Central Government for approval on 11.02.2025. The Central Government has recently approved the draft with some amendments. Accordingly, the process of publishing the said rules is in the final stage as per the advice of the Law and Justice Department.
