What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Drug regulators in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh are collecting information on price mark-ups for pharmaceutical and medical consumables in their regions. This scrutiny could boost discussions regarding a review of the Trade Margin Rationalisation (TMR) policy. The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration previously noted an almost 1,000 percent mark-up in maximum retail prices for certain medical consumables sold at hospital pharmacies compared to procurement costs.
