In an effort to revitalize pharmaceutical exporters of Tamil Nadu after the prolonged Covid shock, the Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil) is organizing a one-day seminar on the subject ‘Reinvigorating India’s Pharma Exports’, focusing latest pharmaceutical export policies and regulations.

Although the seminar is intended for the member-exporters of Pharmexcil, this time all the existing and the new entrants in export business will be allowed to attend the seminar without any registration fee. Two persons from one member-company can attend the seminar without paying fee, but mandatory registration of participation by members is required. 

 The programme is scheduled for December 23 at Hotel Savera in Chennai. This is the first seminar organized in the physical presence of participants in Chennai by a pharma body after two years of Covid pandemic, said S V Veeramani, vice-chairman of Pharmexcil.

 He said the pharmaceutical exports in India are gradually rebounding after the business slowdown in the initial Covid period. Pharmexcil is committed to reinvigorating the export sector and as part of it, the Chennai branch office of the council decided to conduct the one day seminar for the member-exporters.

 While briefing Pharmabiz, the vice-chairman said the seminar is focused to highlight the recent amendments in the policies of trade, taxation and regulations for the benefit of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs). The major areas of discussions include Foreign Trade Policy (new) & Incentives for Pharma Industry, Customs Procedures, Tax Regime for Pharmaceuticals, ECGC Schemes, recent advancements in Indian regulations & regulatory support to the manufacturers, Market Access Initiative Scheme and Export Opportunities for SMEs.

 Pharmexcil will involve the Tamil Nadu IDMA for their active participation in the programme and has requested the pharma entrepreneurs from across the state to attend the seminar.
Pharmexcil hopes that the topics selected by speakers in each technical session will provide adequate information with latest updates on export policies and regulations to the participants.
