FOPE started with an objective to take up the common issues affecting the Pharma industry at the national level, with Govt. of India, various ministries and concerned departments responsible for making/changing various policies (affecting Pharma industry and profession in the country). The organization since its formation has taken up number of issues like rate of excise duty on finished formulations, fixed dose combinations, spurious drugs act amendment bill, DPCO/NPPA issues etc., with the concerned departments of Govt. of India.
Since its formation, FOPE has been in forefront of Pharma associations/federations to take up various issues affecting the units in the tax free zones in particular and other government policies affecting the Pharma industries in general.
Today FOPE has representation in almost all the committees constituted by Department of Pharmaceuticals (Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers) and also by the Ministry of Health.
FOPE has been pro-active for last many years and had regular interactions with its respective members in both the states i.e. HP and UK and conducted many seminars, conferences, workshops, interactive meetings at different locations in the country.
FOPE office bearers have attended many meetings with DCGI, Department of Pharmaceuticals, NPPA etc. and today, FOPE is recognized by all the concerned Government Departments.
FOPE office bearers have been instrumental to create a joint forum of various associations representing Indian Pharma Industry (specifically MSME) like IDMA, CIPI, Pharmexcil and various state associations to create force in the voice and talk to the Government bodies, in a coordinated maner.
