Medical Product Registration in India

Registration of Medical Devices in India
Registration of Pharmaceuticals/Drugs in India

The Indian medical regulatory system has become more complicated in recent years. New drugs can take a year or more to be approved for marketing. Medical devices traditionally did not need approval at all, but as of recently, some new devices require product registration.

The Indian regulator of pharmaceuticals and some medical devices is the Central Drug Standards Control Organization (CDSCO). CDSCO is also commonly referred to as the DCGI, which stands for Drug Controller General India.

All pharmaceuticals imported into India must have prior approval from the DCGI. There is no registration system designed for medical devices as a class, but some medical devices now require product approval as "drugs" before being marketed.
