Indian Pharma Public sector Units are now a history

After a brief gap i was forced to hit my blog when i read the newspaper which published that IDPL, India's first Govt undertaking pharma company was about to be closed on a simple reason that it had more than 1000crores bad debts.  This news reminds me of “The farmer and the golden duck” story. 

It was surprising on how Government of India arrived at this decision with a simple reason that the company is no more performing well and categorized as sick unit. Government played a hide & seek game with the IDPL employees who were against sell off from 2001 and at last bowed to the selfish intent.

Are we heading towards a capitalist rule???

If you read the above article in economic times and if you are an avid follower of national news you can understand one factor on how the once government controlled pharma industry is now completely with private players after this strategic sell off  in Hindustan Antobiotics Limited (HAL), Bengal Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Ltd and IDPL. Out of the IDPL have huge land bank in Hyderabad with more than 800acres near Balanagar area with great potential for real estate business? The land value of these 800 acres will be approx. 10000crores according to the current market value.

All these pharma companies played a vital role in addressing the healtcare requirements of India population at the time of major epidemics like plague outbreak and many other tough times. The decent of these factories started when few of the coveted R & D officials came out of IDPL and HAL to start their own ventures and now dictating the pharma industry in India.

Pharma industry is at its best in India for sure but at what cost? The birthplace of many innovations in pharma sector will be no more. Instead of re-inventing the legacy created by these companies government had planned for a strategic LOOT by auctioning the companies get rid of them make some money not for country’s welfare but for political gains and for corporate gains.

When B J P was repeatedly voicing that they will make India a manufacturing hub better than China does it mean to privatize everything and work with the courtesy of capitalists???

Why the Government is not taking steps to strengthen the Public sector units which strived well before?
Govt had guts to write off Vijay Mallya’s 7000crores but no pity on PSUs to waive off their loans and give them a chance to bounce back???

What do you want to do with vast talent pool working in PSUs?

Dear Prime Minister please do not think that everybody is dancing to your tunes, please do not believe that people are believing whatever bullshit you manipulate with hired economist who take money from you and money from corporates.


You might project yourself as a political saint…Your mistakes cannot be ignored.
