Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare & Life Sciences
Traversing an extremely complex regulatory landscape
With the dual objective of caring for its 1.3 billion (and counting) people, and providing the world with a continuous supply of essential drugs, Indian laws have placed special focus on drug price control, regulatory approvals, safety and efficacy issues, approval of biosimilars, import-export of drugs and ingredients, drug marketing, clinical trials and hospital operations.
Be it setting up or acquiring a drug manufacturing facility, importing specialised ingredients to manufacture health and beauty products, conducting clinical / bioequivalence / bioavailability trials or simply marketing nutraceuticals, supplements or health foods – there are multiple legal and business considerations unique to India.
