Government Extends Minimum Import Price on Two Pharmaceutical Raw Materials
The Indian government has extended the minimum import price (MIP) on two pharmaceutical raw materials, ATS-8 and Sulfadiazine API, until November 30. The MIP is set at USD 111 per kg for ATS-8 and USD 1,774 per kg for Sulfadiazine API. This regulatory measure sets the lowest allowable import price, preventing imports below these thresholds or imposing higher duties on such imports, as per notifications from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
