Boilers Bill 2024
On August 2, 2024, the Union Cabinet approved the introduction of the Boilers Bill 2024 in the Rajya Sabha to replace the outdated Boilers Act of 1923. The new Bill modernizes boiler regulations to align with current industry and safety standards, decriminalizes three out of seven offences by replacing them with penalties, and simplifies compliance for businesses, particularly MSMEs. The Bill emphasizes safety by requiring only qualified professionals to conduct boiler repairs and structures the regulations into six clear chapters for better understanding. The goal is to enhance safety, reduce the administrative burden, and expedite issue resolution while maintaining strict oversight.
