Sparsh CCTV leads the way as India mandates STQC certification for all CCTV products
PRNewswire
New Delhi [India], April 25: Sparsh, a pioneering Indian manufacturer of CCTV cameras and electronic security solutions, today announced its continued leadership in the Indian market by being the first Indian firm to achieve STQC (Standardization Testing and Quality Certification) for the most extensive range of its CCTV products, following the enforcement of government regulations on April 9, 2025, which now mandate STQC certification for all IP CCTV cameras sold in India. From April 9, 2025, the government barred non-STQC-compliant CCTV brands from selling in India.
This significant achievement underscores Sparsh's early commitment to quality, security, and the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative. While the new regulations now require all CCTV cameras to be STQC certified for legal sale, Sparsh's proactive approach has positioned it as the first to offer the broadest portfolio of certified solutions, ensuring its partners and customers face no disruption.
"Sparsh is proud to have been the first CCTV manufacturer in the world to achieve the prestigious STQC certification for such a comprehensive spectrum of our product portfolio," said Mr. Sanjeev Sehgal, Managing Director, Sparsh CCTV. "This early certification reflects our dedication to indigenous design, rigorous manufacturing, and providing secure, high-quality surveillance solutions that meet the highest national standards. As the industry adapts to these crucial new regulations, Sparsh offers the widest array of certified products readily available to the Indian market."
Sparsh's achievement of securing STQC certification for the broadest range of its CCTV products ensures that businesses, government entities and individuals can confidently choose Sparsh for their security needs, knowing they are deploying compliant and reliable systems from a pioneering Indian manufacturer. This extensive certification includes a wide selection of IP cameras for different applications and segments. This is particularly crucial in today's new regulatory landscape, where cameras with old certification are no longer eligible for sale--whether to corporate clients, government or retail customers.
Key Highlights:
Mandatory Regulation in Effect: As of April 9, 2025, all CCTV cameras sold in India must be STQC certified.
Sparsh CCTV First to Achieve Broadest Certification: Sparsh was the first CCTV manufacturer in the world to secure STQC certification for the most extensive range of its product portfolio.
Ensuring Continued Availability: Sparsh's early certification ensures the uninterrupted availability of a wide range of compliant CCTV solutions.
Commitment to National Standards: This achievement highlights Sparsh's dedication to meeting and exceeding the stringent security and quality standards set by the Indian government.
'Made in India' Leadership: Sparsh's indigenous manufacturing capabilities have been instrumental in its ability to achieve this significant milestone.
This regulatory change emphasizes the Indian government's commitment to strengthening national security and data protection within the surveillance sector. It marks a step-change in India's approach to security -- characterized by trust and quality. With the STQC's ER IoTSCS norms coming into effect, the market has closed its doors to non-compliant surveillance cameras. Sparsh's early achievement and broad certification position it as a leading and reliable partner for organizations seeking compliant and high-quality security solutions in India.

ARM Embedded Technologies leases over four lakh sq ft with Bagmane in Bengaluru
ARM Embedded Technologies Pvt Ltd, the India arm of UK-based semiconductor and software design giant ARM Holdings, has leased over 4 lakh sq ft of Grade-A office space in Bagmane Constellation Business Park of the city to expand its operation. The space is in Taurus 4 (North Tower) block of the park, developed by Bagmane Constructions Pvt Ltd, and represents a fresh lease agreement, not a renewal or consolidation, said people aware of the development. According to the registered lease document shared by Propstack, a data analytic firm, the lease term spans 15 years, with a structured 15% rent escalation every three years, indicating ARM's long-term expansion strategy in India. The monthly rental is pegged at Rs102 per sq ft, translating to a monthly rent of approximately Rs 4.17 crore, or Rs 50 crore annually. Over the full 15-year lease term, ARM is expected to commit close to Rs1,000 crore in total rental payments, marking this as one of the most high-value, long-duration commercial leases signed in the country in recent quarters, said Propstack. The lease covers multiple levels within the building, which includes three basement levels, a ground floor, and 11 upper floors, providing ARM with space for current operations and future growth. The security deposit has been recorded at Rs 20.59 crore, reflecting the scale and seriousness of the engagement. Bagmane Constellation Business Park, located in the CBD-adjacent to the KR Puram-Marathahalli stretch, is a premium IT SEZ that has consistently attracted top-tier global tenants including Amazon, Boeing, and PwC. According to real estate experts, the deal underscores the growing institutional commitment to India by global technology firms, particularly in the semiconductor and embedded systems domain. As ARM plays a pivotal role in enabling global AI, IoT, and mobile computing technologies, this expansion points to increasing R&D and engineering activity being channelled through its India operations. 'This deal is significant not only in terms of size but also the tenure and financial commitment involved. A 15-year lease of over Rs 1,000 crore in value reflects clear confidence in India's innovation ecosystem and the long-term stability of Bengaluru 's commercial office market,' said a senior executive in the office leasing space. The lease comes at a time when the Indian commercial office market is witnessing strong absorption trends, especially from global capability centres (GCCs) in tech and life sciences. With new supply in Bengaluru expected to remain tight in the next few quarters, such large pre-commitments signal robust demand for quality real estate, particularly in core locations. With this deal, ARM joins a growing list of global technology firms committing long-term capital to India's innovation corridor, reinforcing the country's position as a critical node in the world's digital and semiconductor economy. It also aligns with India's growing importance in global semiconductor strategy. As nations diversify supply chains and invest in design-led innovation, companies like ARM are looking to deepen their talent presence in engineering hotspots like Bengaluru.
