Indian Medicines Pharmaceutical Corporation Limited, the public sector manufacturing unit of the Ministry of Ayush, with its products attracting more buyers, has recorded its highest-ever turnover of Rs 164 crore in 2020-21. The company has recorded an all-time high profit of approximately Rs 12 crore, the Ayush Ministry said.
