This buoyancy reflects the industry’s potential and highlights the need for the sector to showcase advanced and sophisticated technologies, moving beyond bulk manufacturing. The pharmaceutical industry plays a pivotal role as part of the government’s “Atmanirbhar” strategy, necessitating introspection and revaluation to propel further growth.
