Chennai: The Union Budget 2022-23 presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharam in the Parliament on Tuesday, does not satisfy the needs of Indian medical devices industry , Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AiMeD) said.
"We were expecting the government to move forward on promised reforms and anticipated conducive measures to boost domestic manufacturing of medical devices," Coordinator of AiMeD Forum Rajiv Nath stated. It is frustrating that against our expectations, the government has not included any measures to help end the 80-85 per cent import dependence forced upon India and an ever increasing import bill of over Rs 46,000 crore, he added.
