Budget relief on the label: Govt proposes to drop duty on rare disease drugs

The Indian budget proposes exempting seven rare disease drugs from import duties. This move aims to lower costs for expensive life-saving medicines. Patient groups welcome the relief for out-of-pocket expenses. However, some believe duty cuts alone will not make these drugs affordable for most Indians. The proposal also includes duty waivers on anti-cancer drugs.
