{"entity":{"id":"brit","kind":"institution","name":"Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology","aka":["BRIT"],"tldr":"India's government isotope producer: it makes and sells the radioactive medicines used in Indian hospitals.","summary":"BRIT is a unit of India's Department of Atomic Energy and the country's main supplier of radiopharmaceuticals. Its own therapeutic product page lists sodium iodide I-131, I-131 mIBG, lutetium-177 EDTMP, lutetium-177 DOTATATE and lutetium-177 PSMA-617 injection in production - which means India manufactures domestically the same PSMA radioligand therapy that is sold in the West as Pluvicto, at a scale set by public supply rather than by a marketing authorisation.\n\nThe practical constraint is feedstock: India is not self-sufficient in molybdenum-99 or iodine-131, so hospital supply depends on reactor availability and imports. BRIT's site is intermittently unreachable from outside India, so the product list above was read in a browser session on 22 September 2026 rather than by an automated fetch, and the regulator route (CDSCO's approved-new-drugs PDFs) blocks scripts entirely.","asOf":"2026-09-22","links":[{"label":"BRIT therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals product list","url":"https://britatom.gov.in/en/product/radiopharmaceuticals/therapeutic"},{"label":"BRIT (Department of Atomic Energy)","url":"https://britatom.gov.in/"}],"tags":[],"related":["lu-177","i-131","radioactive-iodine","aiims-delhi","mo-99"],"indications":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"Navi Mumbai","country":"IN","lat":19.033,"lng":73.0297,"institutionType":"government","website":"https://britatom.gov.in/","programs":["Radiopharmaceutical production","Radioisotope supply to Indian hospitals"]},"route":"/institutions/brit/","neighbours":{"isotope":[{"id":"i-131","kind":"isotope","name":"Iodine-131","route":"/isotopes/i-131/"},{"id":"lu-177","kind":"isotope","name":"Lutetium-177","route":"/isotopes/lu-177/"},{"id":"mo-99","kind":"isotope","name":"Molybdenum-99","route":"/isotopes/mo-99/"}],"drug":[{"id":"radioactive-iodine","kind":"drug","name":"Radioactive iodine (I-131)","route":"/drugs/radioactive-iodine/"}],"institution":[{"id":"aiims-delhi","kind":"institution","name":"All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi","route":"/institutions/aiims-delhi/"}]}}
