No ‘increasing threat’ from sales of fentanyl precursors via India and China, RCMP says

December 22, 2025

The company in Moradabad, a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, about 150 kilometres east of New Delhi, describes itself as a “leading manufacturer of premium singing bowls,” which are used in sound therapy and religious practices.

On IndiaMART, the country’s largest business-to-business marketplace, connecting manufacturers in India with customers around the world, a company with the same name and business ID appears to offer a very different set of products: chemical precursors used in the manufacture of fentanyl and other illegal narcotics. Listings promise delivery to Canada, the United States and Mexico in two to three days in “factory-sealed” packages.
