The parliamentary standing committee on chemicals and fertilisers has highlighted a concerning 5.9% conviction rate for spurious or adulterated drug cases in India. From 2015-19, 593 drug samples were spurious, and 9,266 were substandard, yet only 35 convictions were made. The committee recommended stringent, time-bound punishments for such offences.
