New Delhi. The Union Food Ministry has issued a statement stating that necessary punitive action will be taken against edible oil units that fail to register on the National Portal under the relevant provisions of the Vegetable Oil Products Production and Availability (WOPPA) Regulations.

The WOPPA Regulations were amended in August 2025, making it mandatory for edible oil units to register on the National Single Window System.

The statement states that compliance with the amended WOPPA Order is mandatory, and failure to comply will be considered a violation. Similarly, units that fail to register and submit details of their production and stock will face action.

It is noteworthy that to ensure timely review of the availability, production, and import of edible oils, the Union Food Ministry amended the WOPPA Order 2011, ensuring mandatory registration of edible oil units and requiring monthly stock declarations.

The Food Ministry stated in a statement that the response from edible oil plants to this revised regulation has been encouraging.

A large number of edible oil plants across the country have already registered on the National Single Window System portal and are regularly submitting their monthly returns.

Those plants that have not yet registered should complete the process as soon as possible and begin submitting their monthly returns. Otherwise, they will be subject to inspections and punitive action.
