As an essential service, pharmaceuticals may have been one of the sectors allowed to continue production during India’s strict COVID-19 lockdown, but that doesn’t mean 2020 has been an easy year. “It’s been challenging,” admits one of the industry’s foremost figures, Dilip Surana. “Although we have been able to continue our production during the lockdown, there have been a lot of issues to sort out, especially in terms of manufacturing and attendance, and logistics surrounding transportation and distribution,” explains the Chairman and Managing Director of Bangalore-based pharmaceutical formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) manufacturer and distributor Micro Labs. Given all the limitations in place, it’s not surprising that production has fallen to half the normal output.
However, the priority has been to keep the production line operational, irrespective of the logistical challenges, price increases and transportation obstacles that have been encountered. “Our whole objective has been to ensure that there is a free supply of medicines so that patients are not inconvenienced at any point in time, and that the right product is available at their doorstep,” Dilip says.
