Pharmaceutical manufacturing units in India produce millions of medicines daily to support the nation’s healthcare system. Ensuring their quality, safety, and efficacy relies on strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and Rules, 1945, GMP implementation is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) which defines the requirements for premises, equipment, personnel, documentation, and manufacturing operations.

GMP compliance assures the integrity, safety, and consistency of pharmaceutical products by emphasizing quality control, validated processes, and risk minimization throughout production. It builds confidence in the reliability of medicines and ensures they meet regulatory standards. Aligning with WHO-GMP and PIC/S norms, CDSCO’s GMP framework also enhances India’s global credibility, supporting export quality and patient safety. Thus, GMP under the Indian perspective safeguards public health and reinforces India’s position as a trusted global pharmaceutical manufacturer.
