Centre To Notify Revised Schedule M III For Medical Devices By June End

Following strong representation from the medical devices industry, the Centre has agreed to align Schedule MIII with IS/ISO 13485 by delinking it from Schedule M for Pharma. The revised Schedule MIII will be notified by end of this month and is expected to attract huge investments into R&D which will enable India to emerge as a world class manufacturing hub for medical devices.

Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940, currently governs the Indian medical device sector, which has very different R&D, technologies, investment, production and taxation requirements from that of pharma sector. This, the industry pointed out had a detrimental impact on medical device sector Making India import dependent, leading to unfavorable business environment especially for the domestic manufacturers.
