'Irreplaceable For Americans': Pharmexcil Chief Says India's Low-Cost Drug Edge Can't Be Matched Overnight

Last Updated: The US remains dependent on India for affordable medicines – and that is unlikely to change anytime soon India has become too central to global drug supply to be marginalised – not even by the United States – so much so that it has made itself 'irreplaceable". The chief of India's pharmaceuticals export body, Namit Joshi told News18 that India exports 55 percent to the United States and United Kingdom – the most stringent markets in the world. 'We export 55% to the US and UK – the most stringent markets in the world. Imagine the level of compliance the Indian industry has achieved," said Joshi, who is the chairman of Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil), a body under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. For Joshi, the latest tariff talk is more about politics than policy. 'There is a big difference between announcement and reality," he said. 'On diplomatic levels, such announcements, I believe, are made to enter into bilateral negotiations." He cited US President Donald Trump's repeated threats – to India, China, Canada, and Mexico. 'All those deals are still open. Talks are ongoing. Nothing conclusive yet… hence, there is no need to panic only about the announcements." Joshi is clear: the US cannot replicate India's drug ecosystem anytime soon. 'As much as Trump wants to MAGA (Make America Great Again), the US can't replace India," he said. 'Fixed costs in the US are too high, 42% of the population is obese, average chronic disease-free life is just 63 years – there's huge demand for medicines. But they don't have the talent or cost base to make them locally," he said. He added: 'For now, and for the foreseeable future, the world still needs Indian drugs. And India is ready to deliver." GLOBAL DEMAND, LOCAL FRAGILITY The US remains dependent on India for affordable medicines – and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. 'The US won't be able to develop our capabilities to manufacture low-cost drugs overnight," Joshi said. 'It will take at least two to three years to develop a local industry – and I'm not sure they'll find the right skill and talent even then," he said. India's cost advantage isn't the only barrier. 'We spend 12% of industry earnings just to maintain US FDA-approved facilities," he says. 'Countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka – they have all tried to compete. But they haven't matched us on quality or pricing, he added." China, despite its strength in chemicals and backward integration, still lags in formulations. 'It is a leader in producing KSMs and intermediaries, supplying to the globe, yet it is still not able to match India's capabilities and pricing." THE WORLD IS WATCHING – AND ALSO LEARNING Many governments may be pursuing localisation, but their strategies look very different from India's. 'Localising drug manufacturing is not everyone's play," Joshi said. 'The Netherlands is coming to iPHEX this year; they're developing a local pharma, but focused on high-end, expensive products. That won't hurt us. If anything, they're learning from us," he said. Pharmexcil is set to host its annual international expo, iPHEX, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi from September 4 to 6. For the first time, it is being organised without any financial support from the Centre. 'The event will host 350 international delegates from over 100 countries, including regulators, buyers, and policymakers. Exhibitors will showcase Indian strengths in APIs, formulations, diagnostics, digital health, biosimilars, and more," Joshi said. India's pharmaceutical exports have grown at a compound annual rate of 11 percent over the past decade, with a 9.54 percent increase last year alone. But Joshi knows generics alone won't fuel the future. 'The next growth lever will be achieved via innovation," he said. 'Biologics, CAR-T therapies, oncology, transplant medicines, super-speciality areas – this is where the next frontier lies." He cites Wockhardt's Zaynich as a made-in-India innovation that marks a turning point. 'We can plan our generic pipeline around upcoming patent expiries like Semaglutide, but original innovation is what will add real value."

In the chaotic aftermath of the August 6, 1945, bombing, thousands of the dead and dying were brought to the island, which experienced three weeks of rushed burials. While thousands of remains have been found on Ninoshima over the decades, many are still missing, and the ongoing search underscores the long-term human cost as the 80th anniversary of the event approaches. Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST Somalia Modernizes Camel Milk Industry to Boost Economy and Create Jobs Somalia is undertaking a significant modernization of its camel milk industry, a cornerstone of its pastoral culture, in a push to boost its economy, AP says in a report. The initiative involves introducing processed products such as camel milk yogurt to improve nutrition and open new markets. As part of a broader strategy for economic recovery, the Somali government is encouraging investment in the sector to diversify the economy, create jobs for its large youth population, and enhance food security in the climate-vulnerable region. This development marks a strategic shift from traditional herding to more market-oriented agricultural production. Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST New Zealand Woman Arrested After Child Found Alive In Suitcase On Bus A woman was arrested in New Zealand on a child neglect charge after a bus driver discovered a 2-year-old girl alive inside a suitcase stowed in the vehicle's luggage compartment, AP says in a report. The discovery was made during a planned stop in Kaiwaka, north of Auckland, when the driver noticed movement in the bag after a passenger requested access to the luggage area. The incident has drawn attention to child welfare protocols and may prompt public transport operators to review luggage policies. According to Detective Inspector Simon Harrison, the child is now in the care of child protective services while the police investigation continues. Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST Meta Signals Shift On Open-Source AI As China Accelerates Meta Platforms, known for its open-source Llama AI models, has indicated it will be more 'careful' with its open-source strategy, a move that contrasts with China's increasing embrace of open-source AI development, according to a report in the South China Morning Post. This shift by the US tech giant occurs as China actively fosters its own open-source AI ecosystem, which computer scientist Andrew Ng suggests could be a path for the country to 'surpass the US in AI'. The differing strategies could lead to a fragmentation of the global AI landscape, with US firms potentially focusing on safety and control while China uses open-source for rapid innovation and to reduce reliance on foreign technology. Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST Supporters Of Ex-President Bolsonaro Rally In Brazil Amid Legal Challenges Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro held rallies across the country as he faces multiple legal investigations, including for allegedly trying to overturn the 2022 election, according to a report in Al Jazeera. Bolsonaro, who was declared ineligible for public office until 2030 by a court in June 2023, is also a key target in probes related to the January 8, 2023, storming of government buildings in Brasília. The demonstrations for the former president have received rhetorical backing from his ally, current US President Donald Trump, and occur amid deep political polarization in Brazil. Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST Scientists Warn Of Grave Health Dangers From Plastics Ahead Of UN Treaty Talks Scientists have issued a stark warning that plastics pose a 'grave' danger to human health at every stage of their lifecycle, from production to disposal, as diplomats prepare for UN talks on a global treaty, according to a report in Financial Times. The warnings, supported by recent major scientific reports, emphasize that exposure to plastic-related chemicals can cause significant health issues, including cancer and reproductive problems. This development is expected to increase pressure on negotiators to create a comprehensive and legally binding treaty that addresses not just plastic waste, but also limits on production and the use of harmful chemicals, posing significant regulatory and strategic challenges for the global plastics and petrochemical industries. Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST Storm Floris Set To Batter Britain With Powerful Winds And Heavy Rain Britain is on high alert for the arrival of Storm Floris, which is forecast to bring hurricane-force wind gusts over 80 mph and significant rainfall, with Scotland expected to be the most affected region on Monday, The New York Times says in a report. In response, the UK Met Office has issued severe weather warnings, and officials have advised residents to remain indoors. Widespread disruption is anticipated across transportation networks, with rail, air, and ferry services likely to face cancellations and delays. Emergency services and utility companies are preparing for potential incidents, including power outages, flooding, and damage to infrastructure from the powerful winds. Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST Cuba And UK Launch Mission To Save Endangered Polymita Snails A joint research mission between Cuban and UK scientists is underway to understand the biological secrets of the endangered Polymita snail, aiming to prevent its extinction, according to a report in BBC. The snail is critically threatened by an extensive illegal international trade, driven by high demand for its uniquely beautiful shells by collectors and for jewelry. Despite being listed on CITES Appendix II since 2017 to regulate trade, a persistent black market continues to thrive on online e-commerce platforms, prompting ongoing seizures by global customs agencies. The scientific collaboration focuses on advanced genetic sequencing to guide habitat preservation in eastern Cuba. The project's success carries significant implications, not only for Cuban biodiversity but also for international wildlife law enforcement. Furthermore, conservation efforts aim to create alternative economic opportunities, such as eco-tourism, for local Cuban communities to counteract the economic drivers of poaching.
