Dr Sudipta Narayan Roy, Chairman, CII ER AYUSH Subcommittee & MD, Powell Group, shares "The CII ER AYUSH Subcommittee extends its sincere thanks to the Finance Minister for the impactful budget presented at the West Bengal Bidhan Sabha. We are especially grateful for the consideration of our recommendation dated 29 May 2026 on licensing and fee requirements for ethanol under the West Bengal Excise Rules, 2025 for manufacturing homoeopathic medicines. The proposed removal of the separate excise licence and fee for industrial spirit used in homoeopathic medicines is a progressive reform. It will reduce compliance burdens, improve ease of doing business, encourage investment, and further strengthen West Bengal’s position as a leading hub for the AYUSH and homoeopathy industry."
