 Abstract:
					
						| 
The Indian pharma industry has been consistently charting high growth rate in 
the 1990s and 2000s. The industry which was controlled by the government in the 
1970s and 1980s to ensure that medicines were sold at affordable prices, has 
slowly been liberalised in the 1990s and 2000s. The note explains India's 
evolution as a pharma supplier to the world, and how India moved into a product 
patent regime from a process patent regime, in order to comply with its 
international obligations as part of the WTO agreement on TRIPS. The note 
explains the role played by the government in facilitating the growth of the 
industry, the regulatory regime that existed in India prior to liberalisation, 
the export orientation of the industry, the major pharma players in the country, 
and issues affecting the industry etc. | 
 |  The note ends with an optimistic outlook 
				stating that the Indian pharma industry will soon be an R&D hub 
				for multinationals in custom research and clinical trials and 
				the industry has the potential to tap the growing generics 
				market in Europe and the US. Issues:
» Effect of multilateral trade agreements on an industry
 » Moving up the value chain
 
 » Role of government in facilitating the growth of an industry
