Brief History of IIL
Indian Immunologicals was established by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 1982, as its unit, with the objective of making vaccines available to farmers at an affordable price. The unit was corporatized as Indian Immunologicals Limited in the year 1999.
IIL started manufacturing human vaccines in 1998 on a specific request by the Government of India. IIL is the second company in the world and first in India to launch purified vero cell rabies vaccine (PVRV) and markets it under the brand – Abhayrab. This led to the discontinuation of use of older and unsafe sheep brain derived vaccine (also termed Nerve Tissue Vaccine – NTV) in the country.
IIL not only provides products and services to enhance the quality of livestock in the country, but also utilizes its technological capabilities for the benefit of the people.
