India Proposes Faster Medical Device Manufacturing License Timelines

Why it matters
Why it matters for greenfield investors: India Proposes Faster Medical Device Manufacturing License Timelines. Investment and FDI headlines need a location and structuring translation for South India — not a reprint of the press note.
India has proposed amendments to the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, to accelerate manufacturing license approvals and strengthen regulatory efficiency. The draft reduces approval timelines to 115 days for Class B devices and 90 days for higher-risk Class C and D devices. The reforms aim to speed up market access, encourage domestic medical device manufacturing, and improve patient access to innovative healthcare technologies.
