National Biodiversity Authority (NBA): Regulatory Approval & Compliance
The National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) is a statutory body established under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, to regulate the access, conservation, and sustainable use of India’s biological resources. NBA approval is mandatory for anyone seeking patents or commercial utilization involving indigenous plants, micro-organisms, or other biological material from India.
Why NBA Approval Matters?
