New Delhi: India's drug regulator, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), has approved a wide range of recombinant DNA (r-DNA)-origin drugs and biologics for manufacture and marketing in the country between January 2020 and December 2025, marking a significant step toward improving access to advanced and life-saving therapies.

The approvals cover both finished formulations and bulk drug substances of several high-value biologics used in critical disease areas. These include monoclonal antibodies, recombinant hormones, growth factors, insulin analogues, and immunotherapies such as Omalizumab, Ranibizumab, Itolizumab, Etanercept, Trastuzumab, Denosumab, Bevacizumab, Adalimumab, Ustekinumab, Golimumab, Tocilizumab, Tenecteplase, Insulin analogues, and Erythropoietin, among others.

Several products also received additional or revised indications, expanding their approved clinical use in India. Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology produces crucial protein-based drugs like insulin, human growth hormone, interferons, erythropoietin, and clotting factors by inserting human genes into microbes, creating "bio-engineered" medicines for diabetes, cancers, anemia, and dwarfism, plus vaccines like Hepatitis B, offering safer, cheaper alternatives to animal-derived sources. It also enables development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for targeted therapies (e.g., cancer, autoimmune diseases) and advanced vaccines, revolutionizing treatment for many chronic and infectious conditions.

An analysis of CDSCO CT-21 approvals granted in 2025 indicates that multiple Indian biopharmaceutical companies received permissions primarily for manufacture for sale and distribution in India, along with approvals for drug substance and finished formulations of recombinant DNA–origin biologics. Reliance Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. was granted CT-21 approval for the manufacture and marketing of Denosumab injection for the treatment of adults and skeletally mature adolescents with giant cell tumor of bone that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity. Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. received approval for the manufacture of Pertuzumab (drug substance as well as drug product) intended for the treatment of HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer and Pertuzumab is indicated in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for patients with HER2-positive metastatic or locally recurrent unresectable breast cancer, who have not yet received any chemotherapy for their metastatic disease.

In January 2025, Shilpa Biologicals Pvt. Ltd. obtained CT-21 clearance for the manufacture and sale of Adalimumab injection for additional therapeutic indications, expanding its approved use to psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa.

Additionally, Eris Lifesciences Ltd. received multiple CT-21 approvals during 2025 for the manufacture and sale of insulin and insulin analogue formulations, including regular insulin and long-acting insulin preparations, indicated for the management of diabetes mellitus where insulin therapy is required.
