Boosting Domestic Drug Production through the PLI Scheme

India is enhancing its pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities significantly. The PLI scheme encourages the production of essential bulk drugs, specifically active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) like penicillin G and clavulanic acid. This initiative plays a crucial role in minimizing drug imports and promoting self-sufficiency in drug exports.

Key Beneficiaries of the PLI Scheme

  • Paracetamol - an essential analgesic
  • Atorvastatin - critical for managing cholesterol levels
  • Biopharmaceuticals for treating non-communicable diseases

The push for domestic manufacturing under this scheme is vital in ensuring a sustainable supply chain and enhancing the overall resilience of India's pharmaceutical industry.
