| 12 | Major problems/prospects | Since the cluster is into the production of mainly formulations, availability of bulk drugs from their licensed producers is a regular need of the cluster
There exist, not a single firm, with in the cluster or in the periphery, which is capable to cater the requirement as the specification. Because of the cost involved in transportation and other incidental expenses, the cost of production is not competitive with that of outside firms. The support services were managed locally. As the local service providers lack adequate skill to render necessary support services, the continuity of the production process was hampered substantially There has been no effort to train the local technicians or their own workforce to handle such issues and thus not only provide quicker service but also to create employment for such persons. The cluster did not have any Business Development Service (BDS) providers The firms have faced difficulties in availing the formal credit in the past. The cluster has a predominant disposition towards government hospitals / institutions or the PSUs as their buyers. This has led towards a complacent attitude towards overall marketing strategy for survival and growth There was a lack of group dynamism to provide necessary support to the sector |
