Sparsh CCTV leads the way as India mandates STQC certification for all CCTV products
NEW DELHI , April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 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 .
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 .

India and China to explore border demarcation amid US tensions
India and China have agreed to explore demarcating their disputed border, a key move toward resolving decades-old territorial disputes as the neighbors look to recalibrate ties against the backdrop of strained India-U.S. relations. The two sides will set up an expert group to examine an interim arrangement for marking out border areas, India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday. The decision came as Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi wrapped up a two-day visit to India - his first in three years. A statement from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the expert group will "explore advancing boundary delimitation negotiations in areas where conditions are ripe," without specifying which ones. The world's two most-populous nations have clashed repeatedly over their disputed border in the past 70 years. Ties plunged sharply in 2020 after a deadly confrontation but have recently been on the mend, with efforts gaining urgency amid U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policy. Experts on both sides said the decision to explore an initial border arrangement marks a major step in recalibrating ties. The idea offers a "way forward," said Josef Gregory Mahoney, a professor of international relations at Shanghai's East China Normal University. "It will lead to difficult questions about other border areas but help foster mechanisms and trust for resolving them." The decision comes as New Delhi pursues stronger engagement with China and fellow BRICS nations, against the backdrop of strained ties with Washington after Trump's 50% tariff. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to meet President Xi Jinping when he visits China to attend a regional summit later this month, marking his first trip to the country in seven years. Wang - who was in Delhi partly to lay the groundwork for Modi's visit - also met with India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval on Tuesday and the two officials expressed satisfaction with the progress on border talks. At a briefing on Wednesday, China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said the two sides reached "new common understandings" during Wang's trip, adding that the "hard-won results should be cherished." Beyond border talks, the two sides have also moved forward in other areas. Beijing has also loosened curbs on urea exports, New Delhi has reinstated tourist visas for Chinese nationals, while a growing number of Indian businesses have been seeking partnerships with Chinese companies for deals including technology transfers, Bloomberg News has reported.
