India's drug regulator will meet the representatives of the cosmetics industry to discuss regulatory issues on Tuesday.
The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) regulates the import and quality of cosmetics in India.
The meeting will be attended by the manufacturers, importers and industry associations.
«The industry has been facing various issues. Earlier it had raised concerns regarding the government's newly notified schedule M that proposed blanket ban on manufacture of any other article or product apart from drugs in the units licensed for drug manufacture. This requirement would mean setting up a new plant exclusively for cosmetic manufacturing,» said an industry expert, adding that the requirement was not financially viable.
«We have asked for permitting the manufacture of cosmetics in the area dedicated for manufacture of topical products i.e. external preparations such as creams, lotions etc. We will discuss this issue during the meeting,» he further said.
