Statement: India’s pharmaceutical sector is now popping out from a shell and making a remarkable recovery. Actually, it has been facing several regulatory challenges in the forms of a recast of foreign direct investment (FDI) policy, pricing policy in the US generics market, patent protection, regulatory approvals and compulsory licensing. Also limited new product launches in the generics space, GST introduction and higher costs associated with regulatory compliance have hurt the sector. Courses of action: I. The government has been engrossed more in policy making and taking resilient decisions for the concerns of the pharma industry. Recently, the government proposed to introduce a new price index for pharmaceutical products, which would serve as a benchmark for determining prices of all medicines sold in the country. II. Meanwhile, pharma companies’ constant investments in R&D have enabled them to develop a basket of robust products for markets across the world. In international markets, pricing pressure on generics sold in the US has eased and this is likely to support the sector. III. Domestic pharma sales grew to Rs. 10,583 crore in May 2018 from Rs. 9,549 crore in the same month last year. The recent clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration to Sun Pharma’s manufacturing plant at Halol in Gujarat brings to an end a two-year import ban it had imposed on the company over quality issues. This is likely to increase sales for the company.

Statement: Ikea, the world’s largest furniture retailer with 38 billion euros in annual sales, said the customs duty increase will push up costs in India and could hamper business sentiment.

Ikea said it’s still gauging the impact of the move and wouldn’t be able to comment on whether prices will be raised or not. The Swedish company’s entry marked one of the most significant overseas investments in the country.  Courses of action: I. The company imports, most of the products it sells including tableware, kitchenware and household items made of plastic, and travel bags among other items that are covered by the duty increase announced on Wednesday.
