The Indian government slashed reimbursement rates for drug-eluting stents by more than 61.5%, down to about $460 from roughly $1,200, aiming to give a boost to its domestic stents industry at the expense of the multinational players.

It’s the 2nd rate cut since October 2011, according to the Business Standard. India cut the rate of reimbursement for U.S.-made stents from 65,000 rupees (about $1,200) to 25,000 rupees (~$461), which is now the standard rate for stents regardless of origin, according to the newspaper.
