1. India's Strengths in Pharma R&D

India is a globally acknowledged source of high quality affordable generic medicine

with rich vendor base. India is not only an API and formulation manufacturing base,

the country is poised to become manufacturing hub for pharmaceutical industry of

the world and an emerging hub for Contract research, Bio-technology, Clinical trials

and Clinical data management. The country's pharmaceutical industry has shown

tremendous progress in terms of infrastructure development, technology base

creation and a wide range of production covering almost all therapeutic categories

and dosage forms.The above fact is further firmly demonstrated by the trends in:

1. The number of product approvals received from various major regulatory

authorities of the world

2. The cost advantage India offers in comparison with developed markets and

3. Other technical strengths of our country in development and production of

pharmaceuticals.

The country has 814 WHO CGMP approved pharmaceutical plants (as on Apr. 2009available in the website of DCGI). It has 153 European Directorate of Quality

Medicine (EDQM) approved pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

These DMFs have been filed from 169 facilities by a total of 136 Indian companies.India has 1,735 Type-II active DMFs filings with US FDA of all 6,482 DMFs filed which

is 26.76% as on Sep. 2008 (refer chart 9). India has DMFs for 462 products of the

total 1,117 products filed with U.S. FDA.

India, currently accounts for one out of every four Abbreviated New Drug

Applications (ANDAs) (Generic products approvals) in the years 2007 & 2008, more

than one fourth of total Drug Master Files (DMFs) (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

approvals) with US FDA, the largest share in registrations granted in the world

including USA. It also received 31% of all tentative approvals as at the end of

December 2008. The resilience can be seen in the number of approvals received in

both OTC & Prescription drugs as also in various therapeutic categories (refer chart

10 and Table 8).
