Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing issue with significant implications for public health and industries such as agriculture. In a country like India, where antibiotic use is among the highest in the world and instances of AMR are correspondingly high, there is a critical need for intervention and policy amendment to contain and appropriately address the problem. This is especially urgent given India’s significant role in global supply chains and the potential for infectious diseases to spread globally through trade. This paper thoroughly explores the current situation and challenges related to AMR in India. It evaluates the existing policy measures adopted in the country and provides policy recommendations within a comprehensive framework that includes education, restraint, and research.
