Bt cotton continues to remain the only biotech crop approved for commercial cultivation in India, with six events and nearly 1,200 Bt hybrids currently under cultivation. Although India’s biotechnology regulatory system showed strong signs of life in early 2014, it dithered during the latter months of 2014 and thus far in 2015 because of political backsliding. Indian animal biotechnology research is in its infancy, except for some successes in animal cloning. There are no genetically engineered (GE) animals currently in commercial production.
