SECTION 3: Terms of Reference

Background

► Drugs play a vital role in healthcare delivery in the country. Continuous supply of drugs is

necessary to ensure delivery of affordable healthcare to the citizens. Any disruption in supply of

drugs can have significant adverse impact on drug security of the country.

► Indian pharmaceutical industry is the 3rd largest in the world by volume and 14th largest in terms

of value. India contributes 3.5% of total drugs and medicines exported globally. However, despite

these achievements, India is significantly dependent on import of some of the critical basic raw

materials, viz., bulk drugs that are used to produce the finished dosage formulations. India imports

bulk drugs largely for economic considerations. Bulk drugs accounted for 63% of the total

pharmaceutical imports in the country during 20 18-19.

► Future growth of pharmaceutical sector is contingent upon our ability to ensure un-interrupted

supply of quality bulk drugs and our capacity to upscale their manufacturing during emergency

situations. Self-reliance in manufacturing of bulk drugs is, therefore, highly desirable.

► With a view to significantly bring down the manufacturing cost of bulk drugs and thereby increase

the competitiveness of the domestic bulk drug industry by providing easy access to standard

testing & infrastructure facilities, a Scheme called "Promotion of Bulk Drug Parks" has been

approved by the Government of India on 20th March 2020.

► The Scheme has been notified vide Gazette notification no. - 31026/16/2020- Policy, dated - 2

1/07/2020.

Objective

► To promote setting up of bulk drug parks in the country for providing easy access to world class

Common Infrastructure Facilities (CIF) to bulk drug units located in the park in order to

significantly bring down the manufacturing cost of bulk drugs and thereby make India self-reliant

in bulk drugs by increasing the competitiveness of the domestic bulk drug industry.

► To help industry meet the standards of environment at a reduced cost through innovative methods

of common waste management system.

► To exploit the benefits arising due to optimization of resources and economies of scale.

Introduction
