    As per the reports available, in case of 12 essential drugs including Paracetamol and Amoxicillin "there is a significant dependence on imports of drug ingredients and substantial imports of these products are from China".


    "One of the reasons for imports from China is the price competitiveness of these products," Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.


    An inter-ministerial committee has suggested that the API industry (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient industry) has to be made more viable and there is a need for building up an ecosystem to promote investment in the sector based on global practices.
