India announces a fresh NDPS amendment without publishing a bill

On 26 June 2026 Home Minister Amit Shah said the Department of Revenue would amend the NDPS Act and Rules, and asked states to send suggestions. The announcement came with a ‘Vision Document on Drug Control (2026–2029)’ that promises exclusive NDPS courts, financial investigations and a campaign against 100 cartels. No amendment bill had been published or passed by 28 October 2026.[1]
