Shelf-life norms for imported drugs may be relaxed to reduce wastage

India is set to revise rules for imported medicines, proposing a 12-month minimum residual shelf life instead of the current 60% rule. This aims to ease business and reduce wastage, particularly for drugs with longer expiry dates. However, biological and radiopharmaceutical products will retain the stricter 60% requirement due to public health concerns. Other quality and safety regulations remain unchanged.
