The Indian pharmaceutical industry is poised to reach $ 55 billion by 2020, of which $ 30 billion will be accounted for exports. The crucial factors to achieve the true potential of industry are affordability, strong infrastructure, and the ease of doing business.

Lauding the industry for being a world leader in generic and pharmaceuticals, and a reliable supplier of affordable medicines, Patel said, "India has the largest number of US FDA-compliant plants. The Make In India initiative is a timely response devised to transform India into a global designing and manufacturing hub. This calls for a complete change in mindset."
