The expansion of Sun Pharma is consistent with national efforts to develop local manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports. This growth will support drug supply chains for essential medicines.

The investment represents increasing confidence in the policy environment and increased facilitation at the state level to support pharmaceutical development. We should see detailed rollout of projects and hiring in the coming months.
