Everything here was gathered for these categories:
Rules written for a category we have not read may bind you and are not in this brief. This is a first pass, not a complete map of the market. Absence of a record here is not evidence that nothing applies. Nothing in this brief carries a named expert's judgement yet, so every reading is a document or a measurement, never somebody's experience of selling here.

No single language reaches half of India. The widest is Hindi at 41%, then English at 19% and Bangla at 8.1%. 22 languages hold official status nationally or in at least one region.

India proposes that a new technical regulation take effect a median of 65 days — about 2 months — after it is filed with the WTO, across 55 filings carrying both dates, 2007–2026. A proposed date is not a guarantee: drafts are amended, delayed and withdrawn.

Not fatal. Enough to make a launch feel harder than it should.
