In a landmark achievement for India’s scientific community, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) has introduced ‘Renofluthrin,’ the nation’s first indigenously developed and patented mosquito repellent molecule. This innovative molecule, featured in the new Goodknight Flash liquid vapouriser, promises to be twice as effective as any other formulation currently available in the market.
Renofluthrin has undergone rigorous testing and received approval from the Central Insecticide Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC), ensuring its efficacy and safety. This breakthrough comes as India faces increasing reliance on illegal and unregistered Chinese mosquito repellent molecules, highlighting the importance of self-reliance in combating mosquito-borne diseases.The introduction of Renofluthrin is expected to have a significant impact on markets like Guwahati, where residents have increasingly turned to potent repellent formats due to the ineffectiveness of existing solutions. Goodknight Flash liquid vapouriser, priced economically at around INR 100 for the complete pack, aims to provide an affordable and highly effective solution for urban and rural areas alike.
Sudhir Sitapati, MD & CEO of GCPL, expressed confidence in the new molecule, stating, “Renofluthrin makes India self-reliant in mosquito control. With its broad-spectrum efficacy, targeting species like Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex, it offers immediate and long-lasting protection.”Prominent Developmental Pediatrician Dr. Samir Dalwai emphasized the public health benefits, noting, “Mosquito-borne diseases pose severe health risks and economic burdens. Renofluthrin’s introduction is a major step forward in providing effective and safe protection against these threats.”
