India is not an OECD adherent but Indian exporters and JV partners are commonly held to OECD MNE expectations by buyers and lenders. India National Contact Point absent — complaints flow through home-country NCPs.

Key points

• 2023 update strengthened climate, technology and supply-chain due-diligence expectations.
• Supports OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct.
• Backed by NCPs in adherent countries; non-judicial grievance mechanism.
