FSSAI 'Promise', Irked Sangh Affiliates: Double Trouble For Centre As US Pushes For GM Crops
Last Updated: New Delhi is deeply concerned about the US's insistence that India permit the import of genetically-modified (GM) products, which are widely controversial in India. As India and the United States navigate complex negotiations over a Bilateral Trade Agreement concerning agricultural products, a particularly sensitive issue has emerged – agriculture. The US aims to introduce its apples, corn, and soybeans into the Indian market. However, New Delhi is deeply concerned about the US's insistence that India permit the import of genetically-modified (GM) products, which are widely controversial in India. To date, BT Cotton is the only GM crop approved for commercial cultivation in India, since 2002. New Delhi's concerns are well-founded, with both legal and political dimensions. In 2017, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) assured the Supreme Court that no GMOs were allowed in the country. However, the following year, this stance was somewhat adjusted. In 2007, the Union Health Ministry had issued a notification directing the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) to continue regulating GM food as the FSSAI had not yet formulated the necessary regulations or had the required domain expertise. Consequently, the GEAC transferred nine applications for the import of herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant soybean and rapeseed oils from Monsanto Holdings, Dow AgroSciences, and Pioneer Hi-Bred Seeds to the FSSAI. In August 2017, the Supreme Court instructed the FSSAI to create regulations and guidelines for GM food articles and to seek Parliament's approval for them. Yet, by 2018, the FSSAI was still in the process of doing so, according to its own admission. The current trade negotiations have hit a new hurdle with the US steadfast on pushing GM maize and GM soybeans, neither of which are legally permitted in India. Government sources suggest that any alteration in this stance could trigger judicial intervention and provoke the ire of the extensive farmers' lobby in India, who view GM crops as detrimental. Consequently, the government is cognizant of the significant political costs involved in altering the status quo for a trade deal. As discussions continue between New Delhi and Washington DC, this impasse might delay the agreement beyond the anticipated July 8 deadline, after which new tariffs of 26 per cent are set to be implemented in the absence of a trade deal. WHY WILL IT ANGER RSS AFFILIATES? Even the faintest hint of compromising on the issue of GM crops will first face opposition from within – particularly from affiliates of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM), the RSS's economic wing, has been a vociferous critic of GM crops and foods in India for an extended period. Ashwani Mahajan, the Co-Convenor of SJM, elaborates, 'There are three reasons we oppose GM crops. Firstly, the incidence of cancer in the US is 350 per 100,000 people, compared to 100 per 100,000 in India, largely due to prevalent GM crops in the US. Do we want that? Secondly, our food exports, particularly to European nations that have banned GM foods, stand at $50 billion. If we permit GM crops, they will inevitably infiltrate our food system, jeopardising our exports. Lastly, there are numerous voices within the government against GM crops." Recently, a NITI Aayog working paper recommended that the Centre import genetically modified agricultural products like maize and soybean. Coincidentally, the US is also advocating for the inclusion of these GM products in India. In response, another Sangh affiliate, the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), launched a vehement critique against the NITI Aayog, accusing it of capitulating to US demands. Mahajan adds that the Modi government seems to be standing firm on this issue. 'According to my information, the Centre isn't going that way, for which I am thankful," he states. WHAT ARE GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS? Genetically Modified (GM) crops are plants whose genetic material has been altered using biotechnology to introduce desirable traits. This modification is done by inserting genes from other organisms to improve resistance to pests, diseases, or environmental conditions, or to enhance nutritional value and shelf life. Unlike traditional crossbreeding, GM technology allows precise changes at the DNA level. While GM crops can boost yields and reduce pesticide use, they also raise concerns about environmental impact, food safety, and corporate control of seeds, sparking global debates over their adoption and regulation.

Selective data sharing: Why SEBI slapped Rs 25 lakh fine on BSE
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) imposed a Rs 25 lakh fine on the BSE on Wednesday for failing to provide equal and timely access to corporate disclosures for all stakeholders and for not taking adequate action against brokers frequently modifying trade details. In its 45-page order, SEBI noted that BSE's system architecture allowed select paid clients and members of its internal Listing Compliance Monitoring (LCM) team to access corporate announcements before they were released on the exchange's public website. This, the regulator said, resulted in a breach of fair disclosure norms. The penalty follows an inspection conducted between February 2021 and September 2022. The action against the BSE has come at a time when the National Stock Exchange (NSE) was facing regulatory action in the co‑location case. The NSE faced allegations that it provided preferential trading access —particularly data feeds and servers—to select brokers, enabling them to gain a high-frequency trading edge over others. The regulator found that the BSE's information-sharing process lacked mechanisms to ensure simultaneous and equal dissemination of material data, a critical requirement for preserving market transparency and preventing any unfair information advantage. Based on these findings, SEBI concluded that BSE violated Regulation 39(3) of the SECC (Stock Exchange and Clearing Corporations) Regulations, 2018, which requires exchanges to ensure fair, equitable, and non-discriminatory access to all market users. The regulator also flagged BSE's failure to implement a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed, which could have ensured uniform and real-time disclosure access. Although BSE later introduced a time delay to bridge the gap, SEBI said the move was reactive and came only after regulatory intervention revealed the deficiencies. In addition, SEBI identified serious gaps in BSE's oversight of client code modifications—changes to trade details allowed only for genuine errors. The exchange was found to have neither initiated disciplinary measures against brokers with frequent modifications nor effectively monitored error accounts, raising concerns over compliance diligence and potential misuse. The BSE failed to take disciplinary action against brokers who frequently modified trade details and did not sufficiently monitor 'error accounts', raising red flags about potential misuse and a lack of due diligence in transactions between unrelated institutional clients. The exchanges are supposed to be the first level of enforcement of regulatory rules and regulations. SEBI, in its order, emphasized the critical role of stock exchanges as 'the first layer of oversight' when dealing with material, price-sensitive information related to listed companies and their securities. 'As a premier recognised stock exchange, BSE is expected to maintain strong internal controls to manage and disseminate corporate announcements in a manner that fully aligns with its regulatory responsibilities,' the order stated. SEBI further noted that allowing employees of BSE's Listing Compliance Monitoring (LCM) team and select paid subscribers to access corporate disclosures before they were made available to the general public on the exchange's website undermined the principles of impartiality, fairness, and transparency expected from a frontline regulator. Additionally, the regulator found the exchange negligent in enforcing norms governing client code modifications. SEBI said this lax supervision further reflected a failure to uphold essential compliance standards.
