Indian drugmaker Mаcleods Pharmaceuticals plans to invest up to 700 million roubles (around $25 million) in the construction of a plant for the production of antituberculous drugs in Russia’s Belgorod region by 2016.

The project is expected to be implemented by the local Advanced Trading company, an official supplier of Mаcleods drugs in the Russian market, which currently accounts for 25% of the Russian market of antituberculous drugs.

According to Sergey Mironov, head of Advanced Trading, the new plant will focus on the production of life-saving medicines, which are expected to be in high demand in the Russian market. At the initial stage the new plant will focus on the production of anti-tuberculosis medicines, while later the production range is expected to be expanded.
