The Union Minister of Commerce and Industry and Minister of Trade and Industry, Singapore, have signed a Special Scheme for Registration of Generic Medicinal 16

Products from India, which seeks to fast-track the registration process for Indian Generic medicines in Singapore. The Department of Pharmaceuticals has prepared a "Pharma Vision 2020" for making India one of the leading destinations for end-to-end drug discovery and innovation and for that purpose provides requisite support by way of world class infrastructure, internationally competitive scientific manpower for pharma research and development (R&D), venture fund for research in the public and private domain and such other measures. Road Ahead On back of aggressive marketing initiatives, the pharma companies witnessed rural market sales doubling. India's rural drug market grew by 18.8 per cent in the 12 months period ended April 2011 as compared with 10.9 per cent in the previous year. With the focus of companies shifting to smaller deals catering to niche segments and markets, partnerships seems to be the new norm in the pharmaceutical sector. Today, domestic pharmaceutical majors are talking less of patent litigation and more of patent settlements. The fight seems to be giving way to partnerships and experts consider this the new way forward. Companies such as Ranbaxy and Dr Reddy s were known for big acquisitions. Interestingly, the international drug-makers have introduced generic or low-priced version of popular medicines and have also decreased prices of their existing products - in order to increase their share in the globally important market - in India. The Indian-makers business model is built around selling large volume of cheap generic medicines at lower margins in the country, to add to twin purpose of affordability and popularity. "The industry posting healthy growth consecutively for the second year reflects the inherent strengths of the industry and improving healthcare standards in the country. The demand for drugs and pharmaceuticals is on the rise, and is likely to continue next year as well. The nutraceutical segment will continue to have better-than-average 17

growth with people getting more conscious of their general health and well-being," as per Ganesh Nayak, Executive Director, Zydus Cadila.
