The Company is a Revised Schedule 'M' complied unit, as per the requirement of D & C Act. Your company, no doubt is focusing on those off patented products, and these products will have extended shelf life in the market, due to lesser discoveries of new molecules, considering the investment to be made and time and expenditure involved in developing such new molecules.
