India pharmacy of the world generic exports
About this question
Why in news
US President Trump has announced a tiered tariff schedule on generic drug imports - 100% from August 2028, rising to 200% from August 2029 - directly threatening India's largest pharmaceutical export market.
Why for UPSC
India's "pharmacy of the world" status and its API dependency paradox is a recurring GS3 economy theme, testing whether aspirants can distinguish finished-drug export dominance from upstream supply chain vulnerability.
Prelims summary
India supplies 47% of all US generic prescriptions and sent 37.7% of its 2025 pharma exports ($9.7bn of $25.8bn) to the US, even while remaining dependent on imported APIs for manufacturing.
