Standphill India successfully completed BIS ISI Mark certification under IS 17782:2021 for Shree Bajrangbali Agro Industries Private Limited - a fortified rice kernels manufacturer based at Mahanagar, P.O. Katna, P.S. Gazole, Malda, West Bengal 732124. The BIS license bearing number 550018**** was officially granted on October 10, 2025. Standphill India managed the complete certification process from factory assessment to final license grant.

Shree Bajrangbali Agro Industries Private Limited is a fortified rice kernels manufacturer based in Malda - a major rice-producing district in West Bengal and one of India's most significant agricultural belts, with deep roots in paddy cultivation, rice milling, and agro-processing. Malda's concentration of rice mills and agro-processing units makes it a natural hub for fortified rice kernel production as India's food fortification programme scales across the country.

Fortified rice kernels are engineered micronutrient carriers blended into ordinary milled rice to address iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12 deficiencies at population scale - a food safety and public nutrition product whose quality directly impacts the health outcomes of millions of beneficiaries under PMGKAY, mid-day meal schemes, and PDS procurement.

BIS certification under IS 17782:2021 ensures every fortified rice kernel manufactured by Shree Bajrangbali Agro Industries meets India's mandatory micronutrient content, physical quality, and safety standards - making their product eligible for government procurement and compliant with FSSAI food fortification regulations.

IS 17782:2021 is the Bureau of Indian Standards mandatory specification for fortified rice kernels - covering:

1. Micronutrient content requirements for iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12

2. Physical properties including dimensions, bulk density, and moisture

3. Cooking quality parameters

4. Marking and labelling requirements

BIS certification under IS 17782:2021 is mandatory for manufacturers supplying fortified rice kernels to government nutrition programmes, PDS procurement agencies, and regulated food processors under India's food fortification framework.

BIS Certification for Fortified Rice Kernels - IS 17782:2021

Shree Bajrangbali Agro Industries is certified. Their fortified rice kernels now carry the ISI Mark and are legally approved for supply to government nutrition programmes, PDS procurement agencies, and regulated food processors that mandate BIS-certified fortified rice.

Without a valid IS 17782:2021 BIS license:

1. PMGKAY and mid-day meal tenders may reject your product

2. State food corporations may not procure from uncertified manufacturers

3. FSSAI food fortification compliance becomes difficult to maintain

4. Regulatory and procurement risks increase significantly

BIS enforcement for food fortification products is active and procurement-linked.
