Industry opens bag of expectations for Union Budget 2021-22
Biospectrum India, 1 February 2021:
“The Union budget should address long-standing special incentives and subsidies to encourage indigenous drugs and API production in line with Atmanirbharta. There should be tax cuts on life-saving drugs to make them affordable. We must also provide full medical cover to proactively help indisposed and senior citizens. Grants to Indian companies that make novel drugs should be made available to speed up patents and inventions. Flexible pricing policies that can encourage upto 7% MRP increase year on year and giving 300 per cent deduction for R&D expenses will be beneficial for the industry.” said, Sanjiv Navangul, MD & CEO, Bharat Serums & Vaccines Ltd, Mumbai
