The Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Limited was once an iconic government enterprise. The leading manufacturer of penicillin and several other life-saving drugs fell on bad times during the early nineties due to shabby managament, internal fleecing and government neglect. The pharma behemoth was declared a sick unit in nineties and half-hearted attempts to revive it have yielded no results.

  • This is a lesson in management how things should not be done.
  • Very true, once Asia's one of the largest Pharma company, this factory is now like graveyard for many many lives.
  • Ones upon a time IDPL Company was Largest Pharma Company in Asia,now it was like a really horrible graveyard in hyd-bad.
  • IT WILL COME BACK WITH PROPER MANAGEMENT AND GOVT'S WILL. TECHNOLOGY UP GRADATION AND DIVERSIFICATION WILL ADD TO IT'S REVIVAL. MARKETTING SKILL CAN TURN THE CORNER.
  • HOPE IT WILL BE SOON STARTED
