India’s Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare in India notified on June 13, 2025, the addition of six insecticides regulated under the Insecticides Act, 1968. Under this Act, the sale, storage, distribution, transportation, and use of these insecticides require prior registration with the Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee. The Act does not apply to the use of these insecticides for non-insecticidal or household purposes. While the notification did not specify the enforcement date, it is presumed to enter into force with immediate effect upon its publication.
