Discussion
Which of the following institutes drafted the Legal Metrology (IST) Rules, 2025 ?
Answer: A
The institute named is the National Physical Laboratory.
The draft Legal Metrology (Indian Standard Time) Rules, 2025, published by the Department of Consumer Affairs in January 2025 for comment, were prepared by an inter-ministerial committee that included the CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, ISRO, IIT Kanpur and the National Informatics Centre. NPL is the custodian of Indian Standard Time, keeps it traceable to UTC and works with ISRO to distribute it, so it is the institute tied to the rules.
The Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad works on space and atmospheric science, the Central Scientific Instruments Organisation makes scientific instruments, and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology in Thiruvananthapuram works on materials and chemistry. None of them keeps the national time scale.
