1About MD-5 License

What is CDSCO MD-5 License? Complete Guide 2024

Think of the MD-5 License as your golden ticket to manufacturing medical devices in India. It's the government's way of saying "you're qualified to make devices that touch patients' lives." Without it, you're stuck on the sidelines.

Why Now is the Perfect Time

India's medical device market is exploding—projected to hit $50 billion by 2025. Early birds get the worm, and licensed manufacturers get the contracts.

Don't Risk Your Business

Operating without an MD-5 License is like driving without a license—you'll get caught eventually. Fines, recalls, and business shutdowns are real consequences.

6Frequently Asked Questions

MD-5 License FAQ: Your Questions Answered

Real questions from real manufacturers. Here are the answers you need.

Who actually needs an MD-5 License?
Anyone who wants to manufacture Class A or B medical devices in India. That includes IVDs, surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment - basically any medical device that touches patients.
How long does this whole process take?
Usually 8-12 weeks from start to finish. But honestly, it depends on how prepared you are. We've seen clients get it done faster when they have their ducks in a row.
What's the biggest reason applications get rejected?
Missing or incomplete paperwork. The government is strict about documentation. That's why we double-check everything before submission.
Does the license expire?
It's valid for 5 years, then you just pay a retention fee to renew. No new audit needed for renewal - much easier the second time around.
What happens after I get the license?
We stick with you. We help with record-keeping, reporting requirements, renewals, and any regulatory changes. You're not alone in this.
