60 years at Cipla, an Indian drugmaker where he is chairman, prepared him for covid-19. Production at its 30 plants fell by 70% nearly overnight in March as India’s government ordered a lockdown that made it hard for its 23,000 employees to work. Critical inputs, from packaging to active ingredients, became scarce. The price of some sourced from China shot up five-fold.
That is good news—and not just for Mr Hamied’s firm, or indeed his country, which has largely avoided drug shortages thanks to Cipla and its fellow pharma firms. The world relies on their health. Their revenues amounted to $40bn in 2019, half of it from exports. They produce one-tenth of all pharmaceuticals by volume, including 50% of the world’s vaccines, 40% of generics sold in America and a quarter of all medicine bought in Britain.
Fears of rising costs and depressed sales, as patients and hospitals everywhere limited non-covid treatments, have added to the existing concerns. Yet the coronavirus may be an inflection point for the industry, if it shows it can rapidly produce huge volumes of coronavirus drugs.

Indian government beats people in the streets because of their religious beliefs. (And they attack whoever say that they do this lol)
It is a religious war: substances. Sin in Islam to be intoxicated. Millions of Muslims heard it. Animals dont use substances, only WE do. What do they expect if you have to go to a doctor to get even tried and tested medicines you could buy freely previously?
Companies could switch from primarily making generics to producing higher margin licensed drugs.
In current unfortunate coronavirus pandemic indian pharmaceuticals companies has supported the globe tremendously specially supplying HCQ and Domestic market margin is bit low even while companies are penetrating in rural markets are getting fair margins
