The MedTech Rulebook: How India is Shaping the Future of Medical Device Governance
India’s medical devices sector is projected to grow from about $11 billion in 2020 to $50 billion by 2030.

A cardiac stent, a ventilator, an insulin pump, a diagnostic kit or an AI-enabled medical device may serve very different clinical purposes, but they share one reality: when technology enters healthcare, regulation becomes inseparable from patient safety. For India, this has made medical-device governance a strategic policy issue.

At the same time, it must ensure that devices reaching patients are safe, effective and supported by credible evidence.
