“We have a big interest in promoting Indian pharma investments in our country. The proposed economic zone will offer free infrastructure for manufacturers,” Asein Isaev, Ambassador of the Kyrgyz Republic told Business Line at the iPHEX - Global Regulators Conclave being organised by Pharmexcilhere.
The modalities of the zone and tax incentives that might be offered would be discussed at the Inter-Government Committee (IGC), he said.
