14:30 – 15:15 Supply Chain Resiliency for Indian Healthcare & Pharma – Focus on regional dependencies

Indian pharmaceutical industry is the third largest in the world by volume. India exported pharmaceutical products worth 24.6 billion USD in FY22. India is import dependent for few Key starting materials (KSM), drug intermediates (DI) and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API). Imports of pharmaceutical products accounted for ~9.5 bln USD for FY22 with high reliance on China. To reduce import dependence, the government has implemented various schemes to attract large investments in the healthcare and pharma sector. Hence there is increased focus on domestic sourcing of raw material.
