The anti GE campaign has contributed in ensuring a serious debate on the need for GE crops in the country. It has also ensured that India does not approve commercialisation of any GM food crop.

This resulted in the indefinite moratorium on Bt brinjal, the first GM food crop that was up for commercialisation.
