DPCO
Supreme Court Verdict on Drug Pricing Policy:
 * DPCO (2013) came into force in May 2013, with an objective to improvise and endow with the basic health care and availability of basic medicines at affordable prices across the country. It was notified by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers.
 * It empowers the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) to regulate prices of 348 essential drugs.
 * As per the order, all strengths and dosages specified in the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) will be under price control. • The earlier DPCO order (1995) regulated drug prices based on the manufacturing costs but in this order ceiling price is linked to market price through market based pricing mechanism.
 * Supreme Court of India on 15 July 2015 termed the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Policy, 2012 and the Drug Price Control order (DRCO) 2013 as “unreasonable and irrational”.
 * The apex court asked the Union Government to review its market‐based drug pricing policy within six months
