73 The Covid-19 pandemic is re-defining the conventional way of business. It has also exposed sectoral vulnerabilities, forcing the policy-makers to take corrective measures that will benefit the industry in the long-term. Dependency on imported Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient(s) (APIs) is one such area. The recent government’s decision on promotion of domestic manufacturing of critical APIs and Key Starting Materials (KSMs) bodes well for the country.
74
75 A robust domestic supply shall also help greatly in stabilising the API prices.
76
77 The healthcare policy landscape in India is at an inflection point. The government has begun a fresh exercise to revise the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) hoping that it would result in better quality of medical care, better management of medicines and cost-effective use of healthcare resources. The government started the process in late 2019, and since then has had a series of stakeholder dialogues. Additionally, new regulations like the Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 and the E-Pharmacy Rules are expected to be introduced in the current financial year. The company is a part of various stakeholder discussions with the government and the relevant subject-matter committees on these and has been presenting the company’s perspectives on a regular basis.

79 The company is aligned with the government’s broader mandates on public health and its various programmes to reduce the disease burden of the country. The company’s existing commitment and support to the government on various public health mandates shall continue unabated and collaboration opportunities will continue to be explored to leverage mutual synergies for greater good.
