“The decision to withdraw restrictions on 12 products and export Hydroxychloroquine is a reflection of India’s commitment to supply medicines at this critical time. IPA lauds Government of Indiaa¿s positive move and is in line with image of India as the pharmacy of the world,” it said.

“We have adequate manufacturing capacity, today, in the country and have sufficient supply to meet both domestic and export demand. Zydus Cadila and IPCA are the major manufacturers of hydroxychloroquine in the country. The companies are ramping up production to ensure an uninterrupted supply for domestic and export market,” it added.

On March 25, India had banned the export of Hydroxychloroquine. However, on April 6, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) notified lifting of restrictions on 14 drugs, including Hydroxychloroquine.

The IPA said that as India and the world are confronted with an unprecedented global health threat in the form of COVID-19, the Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance (IPA) and its member companies are working in an integrated manner with the Centre to ensure that patients in India and across the world continue to have access to quality medicines.

It also said that as Indian is a major exporter of pharma products to over 200 countries, Indian government’s position of international solidarity and cooperation is vital to deal with the COVID situation.

The pharma body also said that it is committed to providing quality medicines to patients in India and globally, particularly to those countries that are severely affected by the pandemic.
