Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology
 
The budget announcements will have a positive impact on the pharmaceuticals sector. The cut in excise duty on pharmaceutical products, from 16 per cent to 8 per cent, will reduce the burden on players. However, as most large and mid-sized players have set up manufacturing facilities in excise-free zones, the overall impact will be marginal. The 125 per cent deduction on R&D outsourcing expenditure will increase the competitiveness of Indian players. The reduction in customs duty on select life saving bulk drugs, from 10 per cent to 5 per cent, will be positive. Increase in outlay for HIV treatment will be positive and will benefit players such as Cipla, GlaxoSmithKline and FDC.
Pharma sector along with hospitals are likely to benefit from increased focus and incentives.
Total allocation to the health sector Rs 16,534 cr.
