Bulk Drug
The Indian government has decided to give bulk drug parks an extra year to complete their development.
The Scheme for Promotion of Bulk Drug Parks, introduced to bolster domestic drug manufacturing, has seen a mixed bag of results across different states.
Financial Allocation and Utilization
The Centre has generously invested Rs. 1,000 crore each in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and Himachal Pradesh to establish common infrastructure facilities (CIFs) essential for bulk drug manufacturing.
While Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh have made significant progress in utilizing the first installment of funds, Andhra Pradesh lags behind.
- Gujarat: Utilized Rs. 129.17 crore.
- Himachal Pradesh: Utilized Rs. 21.37 crore.
- Andhra Pradesh: No fund utilization recorded.
Andhra Pradesh’s Bulk Drug Park Faces Delays
Initially planned for Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh’s bulk drug park is now being developed in Nakkapalli.
The state government is currently focusing on external infrastructure, including road construction and land acquisition.
Challenges and Opportunities
The extension of the scheme highlights the challenges faced in setting up these large-scale projects.
However, it also presents an opportunity to refine the process and ensure optimal utilization of funds.
Potential for Boosting Pharmaceutical Industry
Once fully operational, these bulk drug parks have the potential to revolutionize India’s pharmaceutical industry.
By reducing manufacturing costs and enhancing competitiveness, they can contribute significantly to the country’s economic growth.
