INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Indian pharmaceutical industry is one of the developing world’s largest and most
developed, ranking 4th in the world in terms of production volume and 13th in
domestic consumption value. India’s industry, valued at $5.3 billion in 2005,
represents less than one percent of the global pharmaceutical industry ($550 billion).
Over the last 30 years, India’s pharmaceutical industry has evolved from almost
nonexistent to a world leader in the production of high quality generic drugs. India
has garnered a worldwide reputation for producing high quality, low cost generic
drugs. The industry currently meets India’s demand for bulk drugs and nearly all its
demand for formulations, with the remainder supplied by foreign multinational
corporations (MNCs). India’s pharmaceutical industry is one of the fastest growing
segments of the Indian economy with an average annual growth rate of 14 percent
during 2002-2005. Overall, the Indian market for pharmaceuticals is projected to
grow at an average annual rate of between 15 and 20 percent during 2005-2010. The
surge in production has been driven by legislative reforms, the growth in contract
manufacturing and outsourcing, value added foreign acquisitions and joint ventures,
India’s mastery of reverse engineering of patented drug molecules, and India’s efforts
to comply with its World Trade Organization (WTO) Trade Related Intellectual
Property Agreement obligations. When India joined the WTO in 1995, its
pharmaceutical exports were valued at less than $600 million. By 2005, its exports
had grown to $3.7 billion and accounted for more than 61 percent of industry
turnover. Currently, Indian pharmaceutical companies produce between 20 and 22
percent of the world’s generic drugs (in value terms) and offer 60,000 finished
medicines and nearly 400 bulk drugs used in formulations.4 With changes in India’s
patent laws in the early 1970s, Indian drug producers became experts in ‘reverse
engineering’ and increased its supply of less expensive copies of the world’s best-
selling patent protected drugs. India’s pharmaceutical industry grew and prospered in
a highly regulated environment with government price controls on a significant
number of formulations and bulk drugs. In January 2005, India amended its patent
laws governing pharmaceuticals, bringing them into conformance with the WTO
TRIPs agreement. Under the new patent law, Indian drug markers can no longer
manufacture and market reverse-engineered versions of drugs patented by foreign
City College Dept. of Management Studies 2
drug producers. To replace sales lost to TRIPs compliance, many of India’s leading
pharmaceutical producers have increased their exports of generic drugs to the United
States and Western Europe and entered into research and development agreements,
mergers and acquisitions, and other alliances with foreign pharmaceutical firms.
India’s Pharmaceutical industry: Independence to 2005
At the time of independence in 1947, India’s pharmaceutical market was dominated
by Western MNCs that controlled between 80 and 90 percent of the market primarily
through importation. Approximately 99 percent of all pharmaceutical products under
patent in India at the time were held by foreign companies and domestic Indian drug
prices were among the highest in the world. The Indian pharmaceutical market
remained import-dependent through the 1960s until the government initiated policies
stressing self-reliance through local production.5 At that time, 8 of India’s top 10
pharmaceutical firms, based on sales, were subsidiaries of MNCs. To facilitate an
independent supply of pharmaceutical products in the domestic market, the
government of India founded 5 state-owned pharmaceutical companies.6 Today, India
is the world’s fifth largest producer of bulk drugs. Government policy culminated in
various actions including: the abolition of product patents on food, chemicals, and
drugs; the institution of process patents; the limitation of multinational equity share in
India pharmaceutical companies, and the imposition of price controls on certain
formulations and bulk drugs. Subsequently, most foreign pharmaceutical
manufacturers abandoned the Indian market due to the absence of legal mechanisms
to protect their patented products. Accordingly, the share of the domestic Indian
market held by foreign drug manufacturers declined to less than 20 percent in 2005.
As the MNCs abandoned the Indian market, local firms rushed in to fill the void, and
by 1990, India was self-sufficient in the production of formulations and nearly self-
sufficient in the production of bulk drugs.
Strengths and weaknesses of India’s pharmaceutical industry:
India’s comparative advantages lie in its cost competitiveness, its reverse engineering
experience, its large pool of less expensive English-speaking scientific and
engineering workers, and its well-developed chemical industry infrastructure.Today,
India produces some of the cheapest drugs in the world, especially because labor costs
are 50 to 55 percent cheaper than in the West.50 Industry experts indicate that
City College Dept. of Management Studies 3
infrastructure costs are 40 percent lower and fixed cost are estimated to be 12 percent
to 20 percent less that in the United States and Western Europe. Consequently, India
can produce bulk drugs that cost 60 percent less that in the West and can open a
production plant in India 40 percent cheaper than in developed countries. Because of
this, India has become a hub for pharmaceutical research and development and
clinical trials for many leading foreign pharmaceutical companies.

Topic summary
Labour turnover is a universal problem among the industrial workers. It means
movements, shifting or migration of workers from one unit to another or from
one industry to another.
Turnover is a relatively simple and easily described concept. However
considerable confusion often results when addressing turnover, because of
differences in how it is defined, how it is counted and how the turnover rate
are expressed?
Turnover is also costly although not enough attention is paid to its cost
because so much of it is indirect and thus not readily visible. There are
varieties of causes of turnover, some which can be corrected and some which
can not be avoided.
Reducing are other wise controlling turnover require continuing management
attention to its causes and constant recognition of what can be and should be
controlled and what can not be controlled. On going attention to turnover is an
essential part of the department manager’s role.
From the control point of view the causes of labour turnover may be either
avoidable or unavoidable. Avoidable causes are those which can be controlled
by the management and unavoidable causes cannot be controlled by the
management.

EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
Turnover is a human resource context refer to the characteristics of a given company
or industry relative to rate at which an employer gain or losses staff.
According to Abassi et. Al. (2000):
Employee turnover is the rotation of workers around the labour market; between
firms, jobs and occupations; and between the states of employment and
unemployment.
According to Price (1977):
The term “Turnover” is defined as the ratio of the numbers of organizational members
who have left during the period being considered divided by the average number of
people in that organization during the period.
According to T N Chabra:
Labour turnover may be defined as the rate of change in the working staff of a
concern during a definite period.
No of separations in a year
Labour Turnover Rate:- -------------------------------------------- × 100
Average no. of workers in a year
City College Dept. of Management Studies 48
FINDING(CAUSE OF LABOUR TURNOVER):-
Either employees leave on there own accord per they discharged. Neither fact should
be accepted submissively. Every separation of an employee from an organization,
weather voluntary or involuntary is serious for the organization.
From the control point of view, the causes of labour turnover may be either avoidable
or unavoidable.
Avoidable causes:- among the avoidable causes redundancy is the most
important which may be caused by seasonal character of the trade or business,
shortage of material, inadequate planning, lack of management foresight and
determination etc.
The other avoidable causes are:-
1. Employee dissatisfaction with job.
2. Low remuneration.
3. Long hours of work.
4. Poor working condition.
5. Bad relation with supervisor and fellow workers.
Unavoidable causes:- The unavoidable causes are not due tp the fault of
management but are due to other factors which are not under its control.
Employee may leave because of the following unavoidable reasons:-
1. Personal betterment.
2. Illness, accidents etc.
3. Domestic affaires like marriage, pregnancy in case of female employees etc.
4. Departure from the locality.

City College Dept. of Management Studies 54
CONCLUSION
Turnover does not mean all the time that employee is leaving the organization
voluntarily. Sometimes employees leave the organization involuntarily.
No doubt, every organization has some strengths which make their edge from others,
but every organization have some weaknesses also.
As far as the matter of turnover is concerned, this is a great problem in present days.
People are always looking for growth opportunities and increase in there salary. So it
is very tough job to retain there employees for a long time.
From the survey done by me I concluded some points which can fix or decrease the
problem of turnover up to certain limit. The points are listed below:-
Way to heart goes through stomach’ is an old saying. In today’s world, it has
become a basic thing for the HR Managers to learn. Good food in the
companies and factories earn rule and goodwill from employees, while the bad
food creates a lot of ill will and recur in the offices and work premises.
Some employees feel that there should be equal respect for all level of workers
and there ideas should be recognized. This indicates that managers should
generate a feeling of belongingness among the worker to reduce the turnover
in the company.
Some employees feel that there is a great difference in the salary structure of
the employees as compared to other companies.
Communication gap is also a reason for conflicts in the companies which may
result in to increased employee turnover.
Some employees were of the view that the job satisfaction decreases due to
improper training and lack of knowledge, which would increase the employee
turnover. So there should be proper training of the employees.
Among these respondents maximum were of the 25-35 age group. Also from
the left employee report it was found that people of the age 25-35 years leave
City College Dept. of Management Studies 55
the job readily. This is due to the fact that they are on the growth stage of their
career. So they leave the organization for career growth and better salary.
According to “Labour Law Reporter” females are more stable on their job as
compare to the males. Because male require more growth in their career.
Emergence of online jobs portal such as: Timesjobs.com, naukri.com,
monster.com and clickjob.com have contributed to higher employee turnover.
According to survey conducted by “Labour Law Reporter” companies, which
are in the process of expanding, face the higher attrition rate as compare to
others.
From the observations and findings, a proper plan to retain the employees is
formulated and explained in the following pages.
