SMEs are forced to follow and maintain the standards required to capture the export market of medicines and even to observe the new GMP standards prescribed by the Govt., which needs huge investment in plant, machinery and equipments making micro and small units almost un-profitable. The international quality norms especially those related to exports are also a major area of concern. Low investment in R&D. Non-availability of Skilled manpower. Lack of information and awareness about training needs, Lack of knowledge of Govt. rules and regulations. Burden of high duties and taxes. Business Development Service (BDS) providers are not adequate. Utilization of Business Development Service providers (BDS) by SMEs is very low. |
