India's pharmaceutical industry is requesting an additional
two years to implement the revised manufacturing rules under Schedule M,
arguing that the extension is crucial for the survival of micro, small, and
medium enterprises (MSMEs). Schedule M of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945,
outlines good manufacturing practices (GMP) for pharmaceutical products,
including a prompt recall system for defective products.
Pharmaceutical lobby groups have approached the health
minister, seeking to extend the current December 2024 deadline to December
2026, citing resource constraints and industry challenges in meeting the
revised standards.
The health ministry notified the updated Schedule M rules in
January 2024. Laghu Udyog Bharati (LUB), an affiliate of RSS, and the
Federation of Pharma Entrepreneurs (FOPE), representing MSME pharma units, have
formally requested Health Minister J.P. Nadda to delay the implementation.
"Implementing the rules by December 2024 would be too soon for MSME pharma
units," Laghu Udyog Bharati stated in its letter, emphasising that more
time is needed, especially with ongoing production, as a one-year period is
insufficient for such an upgrade.
