New Delhi: To ensure accessibility of necessary medical devices to the common man at genuine cost, drug price regulator, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers has extended ceiling prices of Knee Implants for another one year from 16th September, 2022, unless revised by another notification.

This came after the 101st meeting under the DPCO, 2013, held on 07th of September under the chairmanship of Shri Kamlesh Kumar Pant, Chairman, NPPA.

Earlier, the Medical Dialogues Team had reported that the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers had extended the ceiling prices of knee implants for another one year, i.e. till 14th September 2021

The Authority deliberated upon the matter in detail and noted the following requests made by various industry associations:

(i) For a one-time relief in the pricing of knee implants by invoking Para 19 of DPCO; and

(ii)To consider 20% increase in the ceiling price of knee implants on account of fluctuations in foreign exchange; increases in manpower costs, freight costs, WPI; and supply chain problems because of the on-going Russia-Ukraine war.

Furthermore, the authority observed that the annual WPI w.e.f. 01.04.2020, 01.04.2021, &01.04.2022 was 1.88468%, 0.53638% & 10.76607%, respectively. The prices were reviewed in consonance with the prevailing annual WPI which is 10.76607%.

In addition, The Authority also observed that the non-scheduled medical devices and drugs are monitored under para 20(1) of DPCO, 2013 and the Knee Implants are non-scheduled devices/ drugs.

"No annual increase was allowed in year 2020-21 and 2021-22 and companies were required to maintain the MRP prevailing during the year 2019-20 in the years 2020-21 and 2021-22." the Minutes of 101st Meeting added.

During 101st meeting under the DPCO, 2013, after taking all the above into consideration, the Authority decided,

"In continuation to the notifications S.O. 2668(E) dated 16th August, 2017 , S.O. 298(E) dated 13th August, 2018,5.0. 2934(E) dated 13th August 2019, S.O. 2764(E) dated l4th August 2020 ,S.O. 3147 (E)dated 1st September 2020 and S.0 3670(E ) dated 10th Sept 2021 regarding fixation of ceiling prices of orthopedics' knee implants under para 19 of DPCO, 2013, the ceiling price shall continue and be further monitored as per the provisions of paragraph 20(1) of DPCO, 2013.
