Bt eggplants (brinjal) in India
Since 1999 GENET collects and distributes information on various topics in the field of genetic engineering in agriculture, food production and health. With this "Special Topic: Bt Brinjal in India" GENET aims at providing an overview about the debate on development and approval of Bt brinjal in this country, based on our archives.

India’s Genetic Engineering Approval Committee may propose safety check for Bt brinjal
India’s Genetic Engineering Approval Committee is likely to propose an extended test to determine the safety of genetically modified brinjal, said a person associated with the apex body to clear GM crops. The test involves feeding rats with Bt brinjal, a GM variety, for 180 days, compared with the current 90 days. This is likely to extend the period of evaluation for safety by a year.
