Often, manufacturers don’t reveal full servicing information or stop repairing old models, prompting consumers to buy new replacements, a practice known as planned obsolescence. When tech products falter, most consumers replace them with newer ones because fixing faulty devices reliably is difficult and expensive, research has shown. This will help the trade between the OEMs, third-party buyers and sellers - thus also creating new jobs. Under this framework, it would be mandatory for manufacturers to share their product details with customers so that they can either repair them by self or by third parties, rather than only depending Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The framework is significant as it will give consumers a chance to repair their products at an optimal cost instead of buying new products altogether.
The central government has scaled up its right-to-repair initiative to cover four sectors - consumer durables, electronic devices, automobiles and farm equipment – onboarding leading brands on a unified portal.
The Right to Repair Portal ( ) is a great initiative by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public Distribution to ensure consumer protection in India.
