The Indian government is planning to align the local certification process for drugs made in India with global norms. This move aims to assure foreign buyers in the wake of recent incidents involving sub-standard drugs sold abroad. The Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP) issued in India will be upgraded to match the World Health Organization's good manufacturing practices certification. The government also plans to put these certificates on the website of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) for verification. These measures will enhance transparency, provide greater oversight, and boost the confidence of foreign regulators in Indian drugmakers.
