.....local circumstances of the provinces under their administration, for many points for which there are specific provisions in the body of the English Act." ACT 32 OF 1978 (ii) The Indian Explosives Act, 1884 was enacted nearly a century ago when there were no indigenous manufacturers of high explosives in this country and only a few simpler types of explosives were manufactured. 2.

There was a general complaint from the industry that the Explosives Act, which was based on the old British pattern, was not adequate to meet the country's growing requirements and resulted in difficulties for the Industry.

This Committee submitted its report suggesting a number of amendments to the Indian Explosives Act. These recommendations have been accepted by the Government.
