I think that law was changed in 2005 to allow product patents.

The law might have been changed, but the practice of the law has not. India still does not honor practically any foreign patents on medicine.
this practice helped so many people from low-income countries survive form life-threatening conditions by just importing drugs from India. A relative of mine from a very low income country got Hepatitis C treatment, thanks to India.
