India is a top-3 shrimp exporter globally. MPEDA drives export approval and quality; CAA regulates coastal shrimp farming siting and biosecurity. Antibiotic residue compliance is the single largest export-rejection risk.

Indian shrimp exporters must operate a documented antibiotic-residue management programme — every destination market's residue rules apply.
Competent authorities in India
The regulatory framework is coordinated across: Coastal Aquaculture Authority (CAA); Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA); FSSAI (food safety); State fisheries departments. Roles overlap — every commercial project must maintain a single compliance register mapping each requirement to the responsible authority.
Primary regulations to plan for
Coastal Aquaculture Authority Act 2005; Marine Products Export (Quality Control) Rules; FSSAI regulations; CAA guidelines on shrimp farming. These are the anchor instruments; there will be additional subordinate regulation depending on species, geography and destination market.
Permitting sequence in-country
Pre-screening, EIA, aquaculture licence, water permits, animal-health approval, construction permits, food-safety approval, export approval. Every downstream step depends on upstream approvals — never allow suppliers to start manufacturing before the permit chain is at least at construction-permit stage.
Export-facing considerations
Export-facing operations must maintain the national compliance envelope plus destination-market compliance. When these conflict, the strictest wins. Build the compliance envelope around the target export markets, not just the domestic market.
Interaction with financing
Development banks and blue-economy funds active in this jurisdiction will apply their own ESG framework in addition to national law. IFC Performance Standards, EIB Environmental & Social Standards and Equator Principles are the default frames.
