Nature of Operations [Text Block] | NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Business Since 2014, we have focused a portion of our business on the application of phytocannabinoids such as Tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) and Cannabidiol (“CBD”), among others, in combination with other compounds, to address efficacy for various ailments and diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. As previously disclosed, IGC submitted IGC-AD1, our investigational drug candidate for Alzheimer’s, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under Section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and received approval on July 30, 2020, to proceed with the Phase 1 trial, on Alzheimer’s patients. On September 7, 2021, the Company announced the completion of all dose escalation studies associated with the Phase 1 trial. Based on this study and subject to FDA concurrence, the cannabis-based investigational drug IGC-AD1 was generally safe and well-tolerated by the Alzheimer’s trial participants. The Company has filed the safety and tolerability data with the FDA as part of its Annual Report. In addition, the trial on the secondary endpoints, such as pharmacokinetics, genotyping, neuropsychiatric inventory, and measurement of suicide severity, have also been completed. We expect to report this data as it becomes available and after submission to the FDA. The Company is motivated by the potential that, with future successful results from appropriate further trials, IGC-AD1 could contribute to relief for some of the 50 million people around the world expected to be impacted by Alzheimer’s disease by 2030 (WHO, 2020). The Company has filed thirteen patent applications to address various diseases such as Alzheimer's, Central Nervous System (“CNS”) disorders, pain, stammering, seizures in cats and dogs, eating disorders, stress-relief and calm-restoring beverage, and fatigue. As of September 30, 2021, we have three patents. In addition, we license a patent filing from the University of South Florida titled “Ultra-Low dose THC as a potential therapeutic and prophylactic agent for Alzheimer’s Disease.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued a patent (#11,065,225) for this filing on July 20, 2021. The granted patent relates to IGC’s proprietary formulation, IGC-AD1, intended to assist in the treatment of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease. The Company is developing three brands, including Holief™, among others. Holief is a non-GMO, vegan, natural, women’s line of over-the-counter (“OTC”) products aimed at addressing dysmenorrhea and premenstrual symptoms (“PMS”) in women. Holief, in development, seeks to connect, via a cloud-based platform, women with health care professionals who can help address dysmenorrhea or period cramps, and PMS. Approximately 31.3 million (Statista, 2021) women in America suffer from dysmenorrhea and PMS. Since our inception, the Company has operated its Infrastructure business segment from India. The infrastructure business segment involves: (a) the execution of construction contracts, (b) the rental of heavy construction equipment, and (c) the purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure. Information about our infrastructure products and service offerings is available at www.igcinc.us. Unfortunately, the infrastructure sector has been severely hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in India and Hong Kong where the business is based. COVID-19 update Our infrastructure business is based in the state of Kerala, India, which is among the Indian states most affected by COVID-19, and Hong Kong with strict quarantine and travel restrictions. The restrictions continue to adversely impact our infrastructure business, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. While IGC remains committed to its Infrastructure business line and intends to continue pursuing the execution of construction contracts, the purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure, and the rental of heavy construction equipment as the pandemic allows, we have limited visibility into when economic conditions will recover in India and Hong Kong. In response, we have oriented our current focus on a) the human trials on IGC-AD1 and getting an Alzheimer’s drug through trials and eventually to market, subject to FDA approval, and b) launching a cannabinoid-based women’s wellness line of products designed to assist in managing PMS and Dysmenorrhea. Business Organization As of September 30, 2021, the Company had the following direct operating subsidiaries: Techni Bharathi Private Limited (“TBL”), IGCare, LLC (“IGCare"), Holi Hemp, LLC (“Holi Hemp”), IGC Pharma, LLC (“IGC Pharma”), SAN Holdings, LLC (“SAN Holdings”), Sunday Seltzer, LLC (“Sunday Seltzer”) and Colombia-based beneficially owned subsidiary Hamsa Biochem SAS (“Hamsa”). The Company’s fiscal year is the 52-week or 53-week period that ends on March 31. The Company is a Maryland corporation established in 2005. The Company’s filings are available on www.sec.gov.
