India's $130 Billion Pharma Goal Faces Delays from Compliance and Investigation Backlogs
India's pharmaceutical industry aims to reach $130 billion in revenue by 2030 but faces significant operational challenges, including manufacturing incident backlogs and compliance bottlenecks. A Vector Consulting Group report highlights that all surveyed USFDA-approved plants have pending investigations, some lasting up to six months, delaying drug batch releases. These delays consume about 27% of senior leaders' time, while human errors account for 56% of production incidents. The report warns that excessive documentation and supervisory demands may hinder productivity and global competitiveness.
