Medical Device Wholesale License

Medical Device Wholesale License (Form MD-42) empowers businesses to legally stock, distribute, and supply medical devices across India under CDSCO oversight through the Medical Devices Rules 2017, essential authorization for traders serving hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and diagnostic centers with everything from syringes to MRI equipment. Issued by State Licensing Authorities via the Sugam portal, this permit enforces stringent storage, temperature controls (2-8°C for biologics), and traceability amid the ₹1.2 lakh crore sector’s 2026 expansion.
