Not sure what are you implying, this isn't true India plays by WTO and international rules [1]. It uses provisions enshrined in the bilateral treaty and also the rules of global trade. India still today do not support evergreening of patent's by incremental changes. It only grant patents to original innovations.
If you need more information about it probably read the 1970 patent act [2], in India which started those specific innovations in pharmaceutical formulations and made medicines affordable not just for India, but for most of Africa and many developing countries.
