अनुमोदन योजना की दृश्यमानता में कमी (Poor Regulatory Approval Visibility)
Definition
Regulatory approval status for GM crops is opaque. Biotech firms must manually track status across Department of Biotechnology, GEAC, FSSAI, and Ministry of Environment—each with separate approval timelines and approval authorities. No centralized tracking system exists; information is communicated via email, letters, and occasional site visits (2–4 week communication delays are common). Biotech managers cannot determine: (1) Current approval status (pending, in-review, awaiting data, rejected); (2) Regulatory queue position (which other products are ahead?); (3) Time to next milestone (when will FSSAI food safety review commence?); (4) Risk of approval (likelihood of rejection vs. re-testing required). This opacity causes: (a) Over-investment in stalled projects; (b) Under-investment in advanced products; (c) Delayed product portfolio rebalancing; (d) Suboptimal R&D budget allocation.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated ₹1–2 crore annual opportunity cost per biotech firm due to misdirected R&D spending on stalled products and delayed portfolio shifts; 10–15% capital misallocation estimated across Indian biotech sector (₹50–100 crore aggregate annually for sector).
- Frequency: Continuous (ongoing poor visibility for all regulatory approval projects)
- Root Cause: Lack of centralized approval tracking system; manual inter-agency communication; no single source of truth for approval status; absence of real-time milestone alerts; insufficient transparency from regulatory agencies.
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Indian biotech firms waste ₹1–2 crore annually on misaligned R&D spending due to poor regulatory visibility. Centralized approval status dashboard and automated milestone tracking enable real-time portfolio optimization and prevent investment in stalled projects.
