Perhaps Manmohan Singh saw it as just more economic reform. In 2005 the UPA allowed foreign pharma cos to conduct test very experimental drugs in India, on Indians the govt's goal was not to develop India's own pharma industry or better India's health care, it was simply help foreign costs by conducting trials on poor Indians instead of their own citizens.
Worse, these companies and their Indian agents exploited the India's weak laws to entrap poor and sick people into enrolling in the trials.
