The long-pending pharmaceutical pricing policy revamp, awaiting Cabinet approval, has been sent back to the group of ministers (GoM) which finalised it. The prime minister’s office (PMO) wants the GoM to address concerns raised by the finance ministry. Finance Minister P Chidambaram, not part of this GoM, would be a “special invitee” to the panel’s meeting scheduled for Friday. The GoM is headed by Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar.
