Key issues

Inadequacies in the new patent regime: Provisions related to Sec 3(d) of the Patent (Amendment) Act 2005 prevent ever-greening of drug patents as it does not allow patenting new uses of an existing drug. In addition, compulsory licensing allows Indian players to continue manufacturing generics of patented products for export to underdeveloped countries.

Lack of infrastructure: Problems related to frequent power cuts and lack of proper transport infrastructure will slowdown the growth of the industry.

Limited funds: Limited funding from FIs, venture capitalists and the government may slowdown the development of biotechnology industry in India.

Regulatory hurdles: Increasing due diligence and compliance with standards leads to cost overrunning and delay in new product launches.

Intense competition: Strong pricing competition among local manufacturers leads to low margins and limited capital to support R&D. Competition will further intensify from big generic players participating in the Indian market to leverage the cost advantage and large resource pool.
