Originally the act was limited to Pharma companies.
However, there was a notification 3-4 years ago that extended the applicability to many more industries.
You need to check that notification. I think FMCG company are included

Just checked.
The notification no SO 217(E) dated Jan 31, 2011 has 10 new catagories that have to be covered.
Please check whether your company comes in any of those 10.
Soap, cosmetics, household cleaners, disinfectants, biscuites, softdrinks are some of them
