Gujarat FDCA now issuing CoPP online

Gujarats Food and Drug Control Administration (FDCA) has begun issuing the certificate of pharmaceutical products (CoPP) online. Gujarat FDCA has become the first state drug regulator in India to start issuance of CoPP online.

This certificate, issued in a format recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO), establishes that a particular product is approved by a regulatory authority in India and it is safe for consumption.

Developed countries such as the US and UK have their own robust regulatory systems in place for approving drugs, which are intended for exports to those countries.

With Gujarat being a top pharmaceutical products exporting state, CoPPs issued by Gujarat FDCA are relied upon by more than 100 countries. A minimum of 2,000 CoPPs are issued every month by Gujarat FDCA. The state accounts for 28-29% of Indias total pharma exports. Gujarat FDCA has also commenced issuing online product licences with QR codes. About 2,500 product licences are also issued by the FDCA every month.
