Pharma department briefs PMO on trade margin rationalisation

“A presentation was made to the PMO in this regard and the concern of the Laghu Udyog Bharati was also discussed. A decision is likely to be taken soon on the matter,” said a person aware of the matter. The government has also revived discussions with the pharma and medical devices industries over the issue. On May 16, the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority held a meeting with representatives of industry associations and sought their suggestions.
