SII constant push led to publishing of Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Order, 2024 draft which included IS Standard IS 17277 (ISO standards 16092 part 1). Now, SII is now pushing for including IS 17277 parts 2 & 4 which deal with mechanical presses and pneumatic presses.
