Counterfeit HP products valued at approximately INR 30 crore have been seized during Nov 2022-Oct 2023 in India, according to the HP Anti-Counterfeiting and Fraud (ACF) report. In this period, law enforcement authorities in India with support from HP’s Anti-Counterfeiting initiatives have successfully removed nearly 4.4 lakh illicit items from the market.
These items include several counterfeit toner and ink cartridges, preventing their circulation and potential sale to unsuspecting consumers. The majority of these operations occurred in Mumbai, where over one lakh illicit items were confiscated.
HP’s Anti-Counterfeiting and Fraud (ACF) Program is aimed at protecting markets and consumers from counterfeits of HP products, while also raising awareness about the scale and severity of the fraudulent printing supplies market in India.
