FAQs

Why combine color, finish, and structural descriptors in one line?

Because procurement acceptance and valuation require a multi-attribute specification: visible color, tactile finish, and measurable weave/pattern.

What is the administrative intent of ‘caturaśra’ and ‘vyāmiśra’?

To lock down the permitted structure/pattern so suppliers cannot deliver cheaper variants while claiming the same name.
