On 2 April 2026, the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers announced a temporary suspension of mandatory quality standards for morpholine (CAS No. 110-91-8) in response to global supply chain disruptions.

Temporary Suspension of Quality Compliance

Through an amendment to the Morpholine (Quality Control) Order, 2020, the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals stated that compliance with the applicable Indian Standards will not be required from 1 April 1 to 1 July 2026.

The decision was taken in consultation with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to ensure steady availability of morpholine, a key chemical used in industries such as rubber and pharmaceuticals.

Short-Term Measure to Address Supply Challenges

According to the government, the measure is intended to prevent supply chain disruptions and stabilizing the market. The suspension is temporary, and standard quality requirements are expected to be reinstated after 1 July 2026.
