Sbl Private Limited

By 2020 a large percentage of Indian population may prefer homoeopathy as the first line of treatment

-Mr. B. K. Shrestha,
Chairman, SBL


Could you please tell us about the performance of SBL in the last few years?

For the past several years, SBL has been constantly growing - both in sale and in profit by 30%. We could do so by -

a. Adhering to the highest quality standards comparable to anyone in the World;

b. Adding new research products in the market (quite often the first time such products have been introduced in the Indian market such as Cough Lozenges, homoeopathic medicated soaps etc.);

c. Investing heavily in new physical facilities for production, so that the orders from our dealers are serviced more or less immediately on receipt of the orders.


Please tell us about SBL’s new plant at Haridwar?

As you know, the first modern homoeopathic plant in the country was established by this Company at Sahibabad (near Delhi). However, this plant was not tuned to the actual market requirement in the country. Based on our experience at Sahibabad factory, a second factory at Jaipur was constructed improving in all respects the concept of a modern homoeopathic factory already established at Sahibabad.

The Haridwar factory is our third most modern state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The factory is not only fully air-conditioned, but great care has been taken so that the facilities may be considered as a garden factory, with greeneries and flower beds covering every inch of the available open space. With the commissioning of the Haridwar factory, the company is in a position to meet the ever increasing demand, without any problem, at least for the next five years.

Could you also tell us about the research activities and facilities at SBL?

SBL is the only homoeopathic pharmaceutical company in India whose R&D Lab is recognized by The Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India.

Among others, we are the only company where every liquid formulation is subjected to microbiological test. In case of liquid preparations while the product may show no contamination at the time of manufacture, there is a great danger that during storage, the product may develop fungi and other serious contamination. We wish all homoeopathic manufacturers subject their liquid preparation to such microbiological tests. We are aware that creating microbiological laboratory can be costly. But, if we have to ensure the quality of our products, we should not spare the cost.

Creating microbiological laboratory is a costly affair, but we have done so to ensure "WORLD CLASS QUALITY", with no increase in the price, so we mean "EXCELLENCE AT NO EXTRA COST".

The company is continuously engaged in research work to not only improve its own products but also finding new formulations for serious diseases like diabetes.

We have developed a combination which provides good control and management of NIDDM (Non insulin dependant diabetes mellitus). The product is still going through field test.

Our research laboratory is also processing important ayurvedic herbs through homoeopathic method of manufacture. The results are most encouraging.+ Read More
