Underscoring India\u2019s growing leadership in the global pharmaceutical sector and its commitment to quality, innovation, and healthcare security, the Minister noted that\u00a0India must anchor global supply chains not only through scale but also through quality, reliability, and innovation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to key government initiatives, Shri Nadda underlined that India\u2019s policy framework is aligned with this transformation. He stated that\u00a0Biopharma Shakti\u00a0initiative with an outlay of \u20b910,000 crore,\u00a0will position India as a global biopharmaceutical manufacturing hub, strengthening domestic production, expanding research capacity. Further,\u00a0PRIP (Promotion of Research and Innovation in Pharma MedTech)\u00a0scheme is driving innovation in new medicines, complex generics, vaccines, and advanced medical technologies, he added.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shri Nadda also highlighted the role of emerging technologies, particularly responsible use of artificial intelligence, in strengthening predictive diagnostics, pharmaceutical traceability, pharmacovigilance, and overall quality systems. Calling upon industry stakeholders, he stressed that quality must be embedded as a core organizational value rather than treated merely as a compliance requirement. He emphasized the need for continued investment in human resources, systems, and infrastructure to build a sustainable \u201cquality-first\u201d ecosystem.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
