A national biosafety framework to regulate production and release of GMOs is considered essential in any country with a biotechnology programme. Regulatory frameworks aim to ensure that safety of genetically engineered (GE) plants is comparable to safety of conventionally produced plants.
FRAMEWORK FOR. GM CROPS. INTRODUCTION. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products thereof including GM crops are regulated products in India under the.
In India, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) promulgated the rules and procedures for the manufacture, import, use, research and release of GMOs as well as products made from such organisms in December, 1989 under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
India was one of the early movers in development of a biosafety regulatory system for GMOs, way back in 1989. The apex rules for regulation of all activities related to GMOs are notified under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

Multi-tiered regulatory framework to assess and ensure biosafety of GM crops work under the MoEF&CC and Department of Biotechnology (DBT) of Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India through six competent authorities: The Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RDAC), The Review Committee on Genetic
This umbrella legislation governing the GMO regulation is implemented through a series of biosafety guidelines and sectoral policies notified from time to time.
