“The Bulk Drug Pharma Park being developed in Lalitpur, the Medical Device Park in the Yamuna Expressway region, and the state’s Pharmaceutical Policy-2023 are collectively establishing Uttar Pradesh as a reliable and competitive manufacturing destination,” he said.
Nadda noted that improved connectivity, robust physical and digital infrastructure, availability of skilled human resources, and an investor-friendly policy environment have made Uttar Pradesh a preferred destination for pharmaceutical investments. These factors, he said, are attracting both domestic and global companies to set up manufacturing and research facilities in the state.
He further said that the central government’s long-term policy vision, combined with the proactive efforts of the Uttar Pradesh government at the ground level, is accelerating the state’s transformation into a global centre for pharma and biopharma manufacturing. According to him, this coordinated approach is not only boosting industrial growth but also creating employment opportunities and strengthening healthcare supply chains.
The Union Minister emphasised that India’s pharmaceutical sector has gained global recognition for quality, affordability and reliability, and states like Uttar Pradesh are now becoming key contributors to this success story. “With sustained policy support and industry participation, Uttar Pradesh has the potential to become a global benchmark in pharmaceutical manufacturing,” he added.
The Pharma Conclave brought together industry leaders, policymakers and stakeholders to discuss investment opportunities, innovation, and the future roadmap for the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors in the state.
