Foreign Favouritism Out of date and now legally tenable

The Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AiMeD) praised the Government of India for progressive reforms in public procurement and the robust judicial support that ensures the reiteration of the country's commitment to Atmanirbharta in healthcare which became a national imperative post Covid. With policy, regulations and the judicial framework now aligned, Indian manufacturers look forward to a level playing field for tenders.

We heartily welcome the initiatives of the Government, the policy makers, and the Judiciary in driving a long-overdue move towards fairness in procurement. The word is now loud and clear: preference to foreigners over Indians is not only archaic—it is no longer legally tenable.

Through policy reforms, a vision is developing.
