IntroductionPharmaceutical Industry

Indian Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry in India is among the most highly organized sectors. This industry plays an important role in promoting and sustaining development in the field of global medicine. Due to the presence of low cost manufacturing facilities, educated and skilled manpower and cheap labor force among others, the industry is set to scale new heights in the fields of production, development, manufacturing and research. In 2008, the domestic pharma market in India was expected to be US$ 10.76 billion and this is likely to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 9.9 per cent until 2010 and subsequently at 9.5 per cent till the year 2015.

Indian Pharmaceutical Industry

Indian pharmaceutical industry has grown over a period of time and has seen many ups and down during its evolution.

The architect of the Indian pharmaceutical industry would be Acharya P.C.Ray. In the year 1901 Acharya P.C.Ray founded Bengal Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Works Ltd. It started by making drugs from indigenous materials and then went on to manufacture quality chemicals, drugs, pharmaceuticals and employed local technology, skills and resources.

Export-Import: Pharmaceutical Industry

Government Initiatives

The government of India has undertaken several including policy initiatives and tax breaks for the growth of the pharmaceutical business in India. Some of the measures adopted are: Pharmaceutical units are eligible for weighted tax reduction at 150% for the research and development expenditure obtained.

Two new schemes namely, New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative and the Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Research Program have been launched by the Government.
The Government is contemplating the creation of SRV or special purpose vehicles with an insurance cover to be used for funding new drug research The Department of Pharmaceuticals is mulling the creation of drug research facilities which can be used by private companies for research work on rent

Pharma Export

In the recent years, despite the slowdown witnessed in the global economy, exports from the pharmaceutical industry in India have shown good buoyancy in growth. Export has become an important driving force for growth in this industry with more than 50 % revenue coming from the overseas markets. For the financial year 2008-09 the export of drugs is estimated to be $8.25 billion as per the Pharmaceutical Export Council of India, which is an organization, set up by the Government of India. A survey undertaken by FICCI, the oldest industry chamber in India has predicted 16% growth in the export of India's pharmaceutical growth during 2009-2010.

Exports
Over 60 per cent of Indias bulk drug production is exported. Domestic pharmaceutical exports, growing at 30 per cent per annum, touched a new height of US$4.8 billion in the financial year 2006-07. The export revenue now contributes almost half of the total revenue for the top three pharmaceutical majors: Dr Reddys, Ranbaxy and Cipla. The other major exporters are Wockhardt Limited, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. And Lupin Laboratories. The formulations and exports are largely to developing nations in CIS, South East Asia, Africa and Latin America . In the coming years, opening up of US generics market and anti AIDS market in Africa will boost exports.

Effect of Foreign Investment : Pharmaceutical Industry

FDI by Country

The largest source of FDI in Indian pharmaceutical industry is Mauritius. Many global investors in India route their FDI through Mauritius to take advantage of the India-Mauritius bilateral tax treaty.

Impact of Foreign Investment

Major impact of foreign collaborations had been in the areas like Technological Developments---R&D & New Product Development, Productivity Enhancement, Reduction in Imports, Increase in Exports, Improvement in Quality Standards, Decrease in Net Foreign Exchange Outflow, Increase in Return on Capital Employed , Enhancing Marketing Base (Domestic & International) and overall Profitability.

Impact of Foreign Investment

Indian drug industry has in the last five years seen half a dozen big takeovers by foreign companies. $3.6 billion acquisition of promoters stake in Ranbaxy Laboratories in 2008 by Japans Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd. US drug maker Mylan Inc. paid $734 million to acquire Hyderabad-based Matrix Laboratories in 2006. German health care group Fresenius SE spent $219 million to take over Dabur Pharma in 2008.

Impact of Foreign Investment

US drug and nutrition firm Abbott Laboratories paid $3.72 billion to acquire Piramal Healthcare Ltds domestic drug formulation business and spent $726 million to buy out Ahmedabad-based consumer health company Paras Pharmaceuticals.
French drug multinational Sanofi-Aventis SA acquired a majority stake in Indian vaccines company Shanta Biotech in 2009 for 550 million

Government Regulation and Policies : Pharmaceutical Industry

India Patents Act,1972: Evolution and Impact

India provided product patent protection in pharmaceuticals till 1972
This did not have any positive effect because: the MNCs, who held the patents were not keen on manufacturing (and R&D) activities; they preferred imports to local production in India and prevented the Indian companies from doing so by using their patent rights. On the one hand, because of lack of competition, drug prices in India were very high. On the other hand, India was dependent on imports for many of the essential bulk drugs. The import dependence constricted consumption in a country deficient in foreign exchange and inhibited the growth of the industry

The India Patents Act, 1970

The 1970 Act imposed substantial limits on patent rights; these limits were intended to encourage indigenous inventions and secure their production in India on a commercial scale (India Patents Act 1970, 83) First, and most importantly, pharmaceutical products could not be patented Second, firms were permitted to patent only a single process for making a pharmaceutical; a firm could not block competitors by patenting all possible processes for making a drug Third, the term for pharmaceutical process patents shortened to five years from the grant of the patent or seven years from application filing, whichever was less, compared to 14 years from application filing for all other inventions And fourth, the Act imposed very broad compulsory licensingprovisions for pharmaceutical process patents. Within three years of the grant, the patents were deemed licenses of right, meaning that anyone could use the process if they paid a royalty (Chaudhuri 2005, 37-8). In sum, pharmaceutical products had no protection, and pharmaceutical processes were protected for only three years if a royalty were paid and five years if no royalty were paid

Results
Remarkable growth in the pharmaceutical industry in India India and Japan: only two countries where western MNCs do not dominate India: net exporter and self sufficient in drugs Drug prices among the lowest in the world Source of good quality cheap drugs for the rest of the world India has the largest number of US FDA approved manufacturing facilities outside USA It was not product patent protection but its abolition which operated as a pull mechanism in India by provided the Indian companies the space of operations and the opportunity to develop and innovate Aided by the push programs of public investments in manufacturing and R&D, what Indian companies innovated are processes for manufacturing. And it is this capability which has permitted India to have an international presence and be a global source of drugs

Post-TRIPS Patent Laws (1995Present)

In January of 1995, India became a founding member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and agreed to the requirements of the WTO intellectual property agreement, Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Under the Agreements on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Rights (TRIPS), mandatory for all countries to provide product patent protection in all products including pharmaceuticals

One important argument during TRIPS negotiations

Developing countries too would benefit from stronger patent protection because it will stimulate private R&D investment for developing country diseases e.g., leishmaniasis, sleeping sickness, Dengue fever, which are neglected by the Western MNCs TRIPS has not led to much R&D for developing drugs for necessary for developing countries and neglected by MNCs as Indian companies are not yet ready to undertake R&D independently and do not have all the skills and the resources to do so

Govt. Regulations and Legal Aspects

Govt. Regulations and Legal Aspects (1/4)
The Central Drug Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), which falls under the purview of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, is the primary regulatory body in India.

The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) presides over the CDSCO and is in charge of the approval of licenses for drugs at both the central and state levels
In January 2005, India introduced the product patent regime in accordance with the TRIPS agreement with an amendment to the Indian Patents Act. Further, in 2008, the introduction of the Drugs and Cosmetics (Amendment) Act 2008 put forth stringent penalties and imprisonment FDI of up to 100 per cent in drugs and pharmaceuticals is permitted through the automatic route. For licensable drugs and pharmaceuticals manufactured by recombinant DNA technology and specific cell/tissue-targeted formulations, FDI requires prior government approval

Govt. Regulations and Legal Aspects

Policy and regulatory framework (2/4)
The GoI plans to set up a pharmacopeial commission to support ayurveda, yoga and naturopathy, unani, siddha and homoeopathy (AYUSH) through guidelines laid down in the review of the Eleventh Plan As stated on the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) website, the NPPA is responsible for fixing and controlling the prices of 76 bulk drugs under the Essential Commodities Act The Department of Pharmaceuticals was formed on July 2, 2008, under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers with the objective of focusing on the development of the pharmaceutical sector in the country and to regulate various activities related to the pricing and availability of medicines at affordable prices, R&D, the protection of intellectual property (IP) rights and international commitments related to the pharmaceutical sector The GoI has been actively supporting the industry with various measures. It is embarking on a major multi-billion dollar initiative, with 50 per cent public funding through a PPP model, to harness Indias innovation capability.

Policy and regulatory framework (4/4) Budget measures
There has been an increase in weighted reduction from 150 to 200 per cent on expenditure incurred on in-house R&D activities and from 125 to 175 per cent on activities outsourced to specific institutions The Union Budget of 2010 permitted a partial rollback in excise duty from 8 to 10 per cent (to impact raw-material costs)

Policy measures
The DCGI has made the registration of all clinical trials compulsory for trials initiated after June 15, 2009. Previously, the registration of clinical trials by various institutions and companies was voluntary The DCGI has discontinued the issuance of the WHO-GMP certificate for both pharmaceutical products and plant audits The GoI has issued the draft Drugs and Cosmetics (4th Amendment) Rules, 2009, which provides for product licenses for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances to be issued by the Central Licensing Approval Authority (CLAA), which were previously issued by state licensing authorities

State Food and Drug Administrations (FDAs)

State FDAs, on the other hand, monitor the drug manufacture, sale, and testing by companies in their jurisdiction. There are also two main statutory bodies formed by Parliament: 1) the Drugs Technical Advisory Board, whose technical experts advise the Central and State Governments on special technical matters involving drug regulation, and 2) the Drugs Consultative Committee, where Central and State drug officials ensure that drug control measures are enforced uniformly in all states.

This is an Act to consolidate and amend the law relating to Narcotic Drugs Its aim is to make stringent provisions for the control and regulation of operations relating to Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances and for matters connected therewith

Taxation System: Pharmaceutical Industry

'Tax'ing Indian Pharma

Direct taxes Governed by the provisions of Income-tax Act, 1961 Under the provisions of section 35(1) of the Act, a deduction of 100 percent expenditure, not being expenditure in the nature of cost of any land and building is available in respect to scientific research related to the business Expenditure on developing the SEZ is exempt from all duties of customs, excise, CST and service tax.

'Tax'ing Indian Pharma

Indirect taxes Customs duty consists of Basic Customs Duty (BCD)-12.5 percent

Additional duty of customs under section 3(1) ('CVD')-16.32 percent and additional duty of customs under section 3(5) (ADC)-four percent Excise duty is levied at 16 percent on the transaction value of goods manufactured in India
Drugs and medicines classified under chapter heading 3003.10 and 3003.20 are subject to excise duty on the basis of the MRP

'Tax'ing Indian Pharma

Indirect taxes 11 states have introduced a system of levying tax on MRP at a single point ie first sale in the state is subject to VAT on the basis of MRP and subsequent sales CST rate is four percent against furnishing of prescribed declarations. Otherwise, the rate of tax is 10 percent or the VAT rate prevailing in the originating state, whichever is higher Rate of service tax is 12 percent, together with education cess at two percent i.e. 12.24 percent.

Issues with Taxation System

Indian - Bulk Drugs & Formln Lrg India is perceived as an attractive destination to outsource R&D work and contract manufacturing The only tax benefit available for Research & Development activities for such companies is the weighted deduction Companies engaged in R & D activity do not get weighted deduction in respect of expenditure not approved by DSIR though the R & D facility is an approved one. So government to need to clarify existing provisions

Issues with Taxation System

Indian - Bulk Drugs & Formln Lrg Customs duty on import on Life saving drugs and medical services Rationalization of custom duty for formulations SAD (Special Additional Duty) refunds are taking more than a year to get processing the refund and the processes involved are cumbersome Government should reduce custom duty on all Life Saving medical devices to 5%

Issues with Taxation System

Indian - Bulk Drugs & Formln Lrg Physician samples should be exempted from payment of Excise Duty As per the section 4A of the Central Excise Act, 1944, an abatement of 35% allowed for the purpose of levying Excise Duty on Pharmaceuticals The excise duty rate of APIs should be reduced from 10% to 4%, so as to make it at par with formulations

Issues with Taxation System

Indian - Bulk Drugs & Formln Lrg Different VAT rates for pharma goods in different states / different description in schedule entries related to life saving drugs/ medical equipment Transaction costs are increasing to the dealers, as the definition of goods in section 8(3) not permitting them cover all goods The tax rate of 4-5% on medicines and the list of tax-exempt goods and declared goods should be uniform across all states. Specifically, Life saving drugs and life saving medical equipment should be included in exempt goods or zero rate of percent VAT category

Issues with Taxation System

Indian - Bulk Drugs & Formln Lrg Provisions of the credit rules do not permit the Brand Owner to avail the credit if it is the not the manufacturer of the finished goods. Even the job worker cannot avail the credit as he does not pay for the input service. Further, the corresponding invoices of services are not in their name and said services not directly received by them.

There exists a confusion and litigation as the State Governments are still levying sales tax on supply of software, where as the definition of sale in few state VAT legislations includes right to use.

Issues with Taxation System

Indian - Bulk Drugs & Formln Lrg Transfer Pricing is treated as concealment of income and harsh penalties of 100-300% are levied.

Scheduled formulations on which price control is applicable through a maximum permissible prescribed mark-up on the transfer price, downward adjustment due to transfer pricing regulations would affect established end selling.

Future expectations
The likely implementation of GST will be closely watched by the pharmaceutical industry as the total tax rate might go up, if the GST rates are not fixed in line with current indirect tax incidence. Further, there can be excise and customs duty concessions on a few more drugs in life saving list.
