Implementation of Ayushman Bharat (AB-PMJAY)
AB-PMJAY, launched on 23rd September 2018, is the future of India’s healthcare ecosystem.It
is a path-breaking initiative of the Government of India and is expected to positively
impact across all levels of healthcare. It has opened multiple avenues for growth
of the Medical Devices Industry.
Robust domestic growth
India imports over 70% of its medical device requirements, which indicates a great
opportunity for local manufacturing. Polymed has been investing heavily in increasing
its manufacturing capacity and R&D; it has also been consistently introducing
new products which are import substitutes. Currently 70% revenue comes from exports.We
see significant scope for domestic business to grow and improve its share of total
revenue.
Acquisition of Plan1 Health S.R.L.
With the acquisition ofPlan1 health S.R.L., an Italy based manufacturing company,
Polymed now has access to new technology in Oncology and Vascular Access devices
and opens more opportunities with the acquired company’s worldwide customer base.
Plan1 Health products adhere to thehighest quality standards in Europe and are synergetic
with the company’s product portfolio.
New Jaipur facility to drive growth
The company has embarked on an expansion plan for FY19-20 and FY20-21 by investing
approximately Rs.100 crore. The new capacity will cater to additional demand created
through Ayushman Bharat/ PM-JAY over the next few years and new customers in developed
countries.
Focus on R&D and innovation
Polymed has developed the technology to create moulds internally with strong R&D
team comprising of 50+ engineers and 30+ engineers in process engineering. The company
operates a research and development centre at Faridabad, Haryana, which is approved
by Department for Scientific & Industrial Research and by the Ministry of Science
& Technology, Government of India.R&D is primarily focused on developing
new products within existing as well as new critical care product verticals and
further improving existing processes and productivity.The company’s focus is on
increasing its R&D spend to 5% of revenue and commercializing new innovative
products.
Covid-19 impact
As business of the company comes under essential services, the company was able
to run the operations without much disruption, but it had to face short term issues
with regards to manpower availability and supply chain. We believe there is no material
impact of Covid-19 on the company; rather governments globally are working to improve
their healthcare infrastructure, which is positive for companies like Polymed.
