India’s Pharma Exports Hit $28.3 Billion Through February, Up 5.6%

The industry projects expansion to about $130 billion by 2030.

Overview

  • Pharmexcil reported April–February FY26 exports at $28.29 billion, driven by formulations, biologicals, vaccines and AYUSH products.
  • Full-year FY2024–25 exports reached $30.47 billion, a 9.4% increase from the prior year.
  • Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said dollar targets look hard to meet, yet rupee values should rise as the currency weakens.
  • Pharmexcil’s Namit Joshi said extra U.S. drug buying worth $1.6 billion in 2025 will weigh on FY26 totals, so results may land near last year until March data are in.
  • More than 60% of shipments go to tightly regulated markets, with the U.S. taking 34% and Europe 19%, reflecting compliance with strict quality rules.
