Hyderabad as a pharma hub:
Hyderabad holds a prominent position in the pharmaceutical sector, leading the nation in bulk drug manufacturing and ranking third in formulations. It contributes significantly to both domestic production and exports, accounting for 40% of India’s bulk drug production and 50% of its bulk drug exports. Termed as the ‘Bulk Drug Capital of India, Hyderabad’s pharmaceutical industry is valued at US$ 1.6 billion, with exports surpassing US$ 500 million. Forecasts suggest a promising annual growth rate of 20% for both the industry and exports.
The region comprising Telangana and Andhra Pradesh hosts over 2500 pharmaceutical companies. With more than 200 ‘Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API)’ units, the state anticipates annual growth rates of 10 to 15%. Hyderabad, often dubbed the ‘Vaccine Hub of India, houses leading vaccine producers. Additionally, the city has witnessed a surge in the clinical trial sector. The growth of Hyderabad as a pharmaceutical hub can be attributed to factors like the establishment of Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (IDPL) and the entrepreneurial spirit of its populace, complemented by a skilled talent pool and conducive infrastructure.
