Steeply hike registration fees for drugs approval in our country

New Delhi

Pharmaceutical companies may have to shell out more to do business in India. The government has proposed an over five-fold hike in regulatory fees for testing, manufacturing and selling medicines in the country, a move that is likely to impact both domestic as well as multinational pharmaceutical companies operating here.

The health ministry has proposed to increase site registration fee for importing medicines to $10,000 from $1,500. The fees for registration of such imported pharmaceutical products is likely to go up to $5,000 from $1,000. The government has proposed a steep hike even in case of locally manufactured medicines. For any new product registration, companies may have to pay a fee as high as Rs 2,50,000 as compared to Rs 50,000 now.
