US Tariff Exemption on Indian Pharma Hailed, Domestic Manufacturing Focus Urged

New Delhi, Apr 3 – Industry experts have expressed strong approval of the United States’ recent decision to grant reciprocal tariff exemptions on Indian pharmaceutical exports, anticipating a significant surge in the sector’s growth and global competitiveness.

The exemption, viewed as a pivotal step in strengthening trade relations between the two nations, is expected to alleviate the long-standing tariff burdens faced by Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers in the US market. Analysts predict this move will stimulate increased export volumes and unlock new opportunities for Indian pharmaceutical companies.¹

“The US’s decision to grant tariff exemptions is a commendable move that acknowledges the quality and importance of Indian pharmaceutical products,” stated Dr. Raghavendra Shetty, an industry analyst. “This will certainly bolster our exports, but we must also focus on strengthening our domestic manufacturing capabilities to sustain long-term growth.”

Pharmaceutical industry stakeholders have also called upon the Indian government to leverage this opportunity by investing in research and development, upgrading manufacturing infrastructure, and ensuring stringent regulatory compliance to meet international standards.²

“While tariff exemptions are encouraging, our focus should be on developing a robust manufacturing ecosystem that caters to both domestic and international demands,” emphasized Dr. Anitha Rao, a senior pharmaceutical consultant. “Quality assurance and technological advancements are essential to retain our competitive edge.”

The industry has urged the government to implement comprehensive policy support aimed at enhancing domestic manufacturing capabilities and solidifying the sector’s contribution to the global pharmaceutical supply chain.
