Introduction: India’s Pillars of Global Healthcare
India’s pharmaceutical manufacturing sector is one of the largest and most influential in the world. Often referred to as the “Pharmacy of the World,” India supplies over 50% of global demand for vaccines, 40% of generic medicine needs in the US, and 25% of all medicines in the UK.
With world-class manufacturing facilities, a skilled workforce, and strict adherence to global quality standards, Indian pharmaceutical companies play a crucial role in making life-saving treatments accessible worldwide.
At Raksha Life Health, we recognize the value of this thriving industry and its contribution to both domestic and international health systems.
Growth of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in India
India’s pharma manufacturing journey began decades ago, but its growth has accelerated due to:
Patent reforms and generic drug development
Investments in R&D and biotechnology
Focus on exports and regulatory compliance
Government support under schemes like PLI (Production Linked Incentive)
Affordable production costs with world-class infrastructure
The result? Thousands of pharmaceutical manufacturing units spread across India, many approved by global regulatory bodies like the US FDA, WHO-GMP, EMA, MHRA, and TGA.
Regulatory Compliance and Certifications
India’s top pharma manufacturers adhere to global quality standards, often surpassing compliance norms. Common certifications include:
USFDA (United States Food & Drug Administration)
WHO-GMP (World Health Organization – Good Manufacturing Practices)
EMA (European Medicines Agency)
TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration – Australia)
MHRA (UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency)
These approvals validate the consistency, safety, and efficacy of Indian-manufactured drugs—making them fit for regulated markets.
Product Categories Manufactured in India
India's manufacturing capabilities span a wide variety of pharmaceutical products:
- Generic tablets and capsules
- Injectables and infusions
- Ointments and creams
- Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)
- Vaccines and biologics
- Nutraceuticals and dietary supplements
- Ayurvedic and herbal formulations
