In India, one of the goals of the Indian pharmaceutical industry is to make drugs easily accessible in the local markets. Also, the demand for sophisticated and innovative medicines has increased as the common man lives the western lifestyle. The Indian pharmaceutical industry needs to make more investments in R & D and distribution. Quality wise India is still not up to the international standards. For India to become a top player in the global pharmaceutical business, the government of India needs to support foreign investments in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
