[🇮🇳] '25 yrs of progress undone': Analysts say today was the worst day in India-US relations in decades

[Krishna with Flute]

Still does not invalidate the fact that 70-80% of the API raw materials that Indian pharma uses is imported from China.

China can raise API prices unilaterally or even block them from Indian shores - killing Indian Pharma. And this is without the double whammy of Trump's threatened tariffs for Indian Pharma imports to the US.

Pharma Industry insiders in India are all unanimous about it - and you are not.

Is this a vulnerability for India - yes or no?

@Jiangnan what do Chinese API manufacturing insiders say about it?

It is very surprising that you want to give all credit to raw material suppliers while but not to the nation who makes quality drugs. Most of Raw material is imported from China because of cost factor. If China is so great than why the quality of Chinese drugs are not so great and China is not considered as the pharmacy of the world.

Leaders of a country have a responsibility to ensure that the economy which they manage is not inconvenienced, much less ruined.

If this tariff war continues - Modi having "spine and confidence to handle US" will mean little. One is the world's leading superpower and another is a 3rd world country (though large). All the US has to do is tell every G7 country to stop importing Indian products+labor+talent (which they have just started doing). India's fate will be sealed.

Why is it so difficult to understand the client-provider relationship. Think!

Over-confidence and hubris leads to ruination.

It seems that you have a great insight into economy. By the way we have claimed to 4 th position from 10 th position in 11 years and shall be no 3 in couple of years. IMF has predicted India to be a 55 Tr USD economy by 2047.

We do have everything in our control. We are reducing AIP import to half. We are building Desi capacity in each and every sector.

AIP import to half

Please wake me up when India's AIP import is actually reduced to half. I will be in sleep for a decade - like RIP VAN WINKLE....

It's not like you wish for Dilli ka Laddoo and then have it in your hand.

Producing AIP needs investments and commitment.

Which your industrialists are not willing to make.

Now I believe that you are wake up after reading the bellow references.

Producing key API was never a challenge. most of them were made in India but not in sufficient quantity. Now we have boosted production. We used to import it from China because it was cheap and not because we can not produce.
