Indian drugmakers are on track to become a staple investment for some equity investors after being spurned for at least five years. The S&P BSE Healthcare Index has risen 27% this year, set for its first yearly outperformance in five versus the S&P BSE Sensex Index. The benchmark gauge has just one pharmaceutical member, Sun Pharmaceutical Ltd. That means the Sensex was unable to benefit from a stellar rally in some of the largest drugmakers in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImproving fundamentals and the potential for Covid-19-led risk off in other sectors will keep the pharma rally going\u201d said Aneesh Srivastava, the Mumbai-based chief investment officer at Star Health and Allied Insurance Co. The odds for better returns over the next few years have risen, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A flurry of plant approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration this year has boosted the fortunes of Indian pharma companies, while domestic drug sales have recovered after the world\u2019s biggest lockdown eased in June. On Wednesday, the government unveiled a policy aimed at boosting local output of raw materials used in drug production to break a reliance on China, which supplies about 70% of those ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese steps come at an opportune time,\u201d Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd. analyst Praful Bohra wrote in a note on Wednesday. A lot of companies globally are looking for \u201can alternate source of raw materials to reduce their dependence on China,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The optimism is reflected in analyst earnings estimates for the sector. Forecast profits for members of the local healthcare index have rebounded to pre-pandemic levels whereas that for the benchmark has slumped to near its lowest since 2017, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPharma stocks can command a higher weight in the indexes and portfolios as India is set to become an even stronger hub for drugs,\u201d said Deven Choksey, who oversees investment and research as managing director at KRChoksey Investment Managers Pvt. He sees the stocks adding as much as 20% to their rally by the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only the one stock remaining, the industry\u2019s weighting in Sensex has dropped to about 1.2%, the lowest level since 2011 as sentiment for the shares soured after several major Indian pharma companies were hit by a wave of FDA sanctions in 2015 that threatened access to the profitable U.S. market. Things have since changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, U.S. President Donald Trump announced new policies on Friday aimed at lowering drug prices that can have repercussions for India\u2019s generic drugmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrowth in the sector is rebounding as the economy is opening up,\u201d Abdulkader Puranwala, an analyst at Anand Rathi Financial Services Ltd. wrote in a note on July 20. \u201cWe expect pharma to be one of the fastest growing industries in India,\u201d as shown by the price increases and new product launches, the note said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
