Which Govt. authority assigns caps in prices for medical equipments and implants like stents and knee caps in India ?

Question

In Indian national news channels, I am seeing Lt Governor/General could take some call or Apex court can take some decision? So, what are the real options?

Answer 1

National Pharmaceutical Pricing Agency (NPPA) is the agency responsible for the price control of medical equipment like implants and stents.

Many a times National Pharmaceutical Pricing Agency (NPPA) finds huge margin in trade and “unethical profiteering” which forces it to go for fixing ceiling prices.
