Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This order issued by the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) fixes ceiling prices for twenty-one scheduled formulations, effective December 13, 2019. It invokes extraordinary powers under paragraph 19 of the Drugs Prices Control Order (DPCO) 2013, allowing a one-time 50% increase from the current ceiling price. The order also specifies guidelines for manufacturers, retailers, and distributors regarding price revisions, display of price lists, and reporting requirements. Key Points / Main Content: Ceiling Price Fixation: * Ceiling prices are fixed for 21 scheduled formulations as specified in the table, column 5, exclusive of GST. * Manufacturers selling at prices higher than the ceiling price plus GST must revise prices downward. * The provisions of para 13(2) of DPCO 2013 are not applicable on the ceiling prices. * Manufacturers can add GST only if they have actually paid it or if it is payable to the government. * Previous price orders fixing ceiling or retail prices for these formulations are superseded. Manufacturer Responsibilities: * Manufacturers must determine the ceiling price for a pack of scheduled formulation as per paragraph 11 of the DPCO 2013. * A price list in Form V must be issued from the date of notification to NPPA through IPDMS, with copies to State Drug Controller and dealers. * For new drugs launched under paragraph 2(u) of the DPCO 2013, existing manufacturers must apply for prior price approval in Form I. * Quarterly returns regarding production, import, and sale must be submitted to the NPPA in Form III. * Manufacturers intending to discontinue production must inform the NPPA at least six months prior in Form IV. Retailer and Distributor Responsibilities: * Retailers and distributors must display the price list and supplementary price list, as furnished by the manufacturer, in a conspicuous part of the business premises. Non-Compliance: * Manufacturers not complying with the ceiling price and specified notes are liable to deposit the overcharged amount with interest. Impact Analysis: Manufacturers: * Impact: Required to revise prices, adhere to ceiling prices, issue price lists, and comply with reporting requirements. * Action Required: Adjust prices, update price lists, submit required forms (V, III, and IV), and apply for price approval for new drugs (Form I). Retailers and Distributors: * Impact: Obligated to display updated price lists. * Action Required: Display the price list and any supplementary price lists provided by manufacturers in a conspicuous location. National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA): * Impact: Responsible for monitoring compliance and enforcing the order. * Action Required: Monitor price revisions, review submitted forms, and take action against non-compliant manufacturers. Consumers: * Impact: Benefit from regulated prices and ensured availability of essential medicines. * Action Required: Be aware of the fixed prices to ensure fair pricing at retail locations.

And whereas the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers vide S.O.1394 (E) dated the 30th May, 2013, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 3 and 5 of Essential Commodities Act, 1955 has delegated the powers in respect of specified paras of the DPCO, 2013, including para 19 of the said Order to be exercised by the NPPA on behalf of the Central Government. 3. And whereas NPPA has been receiving applications for upward price revision under para 19 of DPCO, 2013 since last two years citing various reasons like increase in API cost, increase in cost of production, exchange rates etc. resulting in unviability in sustainable production and marketing of the drugs. 4. And whereas NPPA in its 62nd meeting dated 21.01.2019, deliberated upon 49 such applications consisting of 72 formulations, received from manufacturers/marketers seeking upward revision of ceiling price under paragraph 19 of DPCO, 2013 and shortlisted 19 formulations for further examination. 5. And whereas NPPA in its 65th meeting held on 27th March, 2019 constituted a committee comprising Adviser (Cost), Adviser DGHS and Deputy Drug Controller, DCGI under the convenorship of Director (Pricing), NPPA for examination of cases under para 19 of DPCO 2013 based on parameters of essentiality, market share of the applicant company and available alternatives etc, which in its 2nd meeting dated 23.05.2019 recommended that these 19 formulations could be considered for a upward price revision under para 19 of DPCO, 2013 to ensure availability of these medicines. 6. And whereas NPPA in its 68th meeting held on 25.06.2019 examined the recommendations of the Committee constituted for examination of cases under para 19 of DPCO 2013 and after deliberating upon the matter at length took a view that the revision of ceiling prices under para 19 of DPCO 2013 should be undertaken only in exceptional circumstances as there is neither a precedent nor any formula prescribed for upward revision of ceiling prices under para 19 of DPCO, 2013. Accordingly, NPPA in its 68th meeting held on 25.06.2019 based on the analysis, further shortlisted 12 formulations and referred the issue to the Standing Committee on Affordable Medicines and Health Products (SCAMHP), Niti Aayog, Government of India for guidance on the modalities/ methodology to be followed for such cases. 7. And whereas SCAMHP in its 2nd meeting held on 07.11.2019 recommended that there was a need to revisit the prices of the 12 formulations presented to it for upward price revision under para 19 of DPCO 2013 by allowing one-time 50% increase from the present ceiling price. It was also recommended that NPPA may examine any other additional formulations/ molecules for upward price revision and present to the Authority. 8. And whereas, the Committee constituted for examination of cases under Para 19 in its 3rd meeting dated 26th November, 2019 examined the 9 formulations (including 7, earlier deferred6 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] by NPPA, and additional 2 formulations Clofazimine 50mg & 100mg capsules) for upward price revision under para 19 of DPCO 2013. The committee reiterated that the seven Scheduled formulations recommended earlier are essential and pricing of these shouldn’t be reason for shortage or unavailability of these medicines. Further, regarding Clofazimine capsules the committee noted that these formulations are included in National Program as first line treatment of leprosy and are essential. Accordingly, the committee recommended that these 9 formulations can be considered for revision of ceiling price under para 19 of DPCO, 2013 in addition to the 12 formulation already being considered. 9. And whereas, NPPA in its 71st meeting dated 09.12.2019 deliberated upon the case of upward price revision of the twenty one formulations under para 19 of DPCO 2013 and noted that the twenty one scheduled formulations being considered for upward price revision under para 19 of DPCO 2013 are low priced drugs and have been under repeated price control. Most of these drugs are used as first line of treatment and are crucial to the public health program of the country. Many companies have applied for discontinuation of the product on account of unviability. Further, the mandate of NPPA is to ensure availability of drugs at affordable prices and it was noted that while ensuring affordability, access cannot be jeopardized and the life saving essential drugs must remain available to the general public at all times. Therefore, the NPPA is of the considered view that unviability of these formulations should not lead to a situation, where these drugs become unavailable in the market and the public is forced to switch to costly alternatives. 10. And whereas, NPPA is cognizant that as per the prevailing policy, cost based pricing is not feasible. To address the situation arising due to repeated price control, one time price increase of 50% from the present ceiling price is being considered in public interest as an exceptional measure as advised by SCAMHP. Accordingly, NPPA invoked extra ordinary powers in public interest under para 19 of DPCO 2013 for upward revision of the ceiling prices of the twenty one scheduled formulations of 12 drugs by giving one time increase of 50% from the present ceiling price. 11. Therefore, in exercise of extra ordinary powers in public interest, conferred by paragraph 19 of the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013, read with S.O. No. 1394(E) dated the 30th May, 2013 issued by the Government of India in the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, and in supersession of the Order(s) of the Government of India in the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers (National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority) S.O.
