Tier 1 — GoldIndia· Asia-Pacific
India Organic (NPOP)
India's national organic mark under the National Programme for Organic Production. Administered by APEDA; required on any food exported as organic and increasingly on domestic packaging.
Official siteWhat it guarantees
- ●≥95% organic ingredients.
- ●No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs.
- ●Annual third-party certification.
What it does NOT
- ○Domestic-only sales can also use FSSAI's 'Jaivik Bharat' mark — if you see only 'Jaivik Bharat' without 'India Organic', the supply chain may be PGS-India rather than NPOP-accredited.
