Introduction to the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry

• The pharmaceutical industry in India is slated to
  increase its value in the near future. From US
  33 billion in 2017, it is expected to go up to
  US 55 billion by 2020. The domestic pharma
  industry grew from Rs 116,389 crore in 2017 to Rs
  129,015 crore in 2018. That is a result of the
  rapidly rising pharmaceutical product exports of
  India.

Types of Pharmacy

• Firstly, you will need to decide on the type of
  pharmacy you want to open. Is it a standalone
  pharmacy, a chain pharmacy, a hospital pharmacy,
  an online pharmacy or a township pharmacy. If you
  intend to open a standalone pharmacy, you can
  proceed with obtaining an LLP pharmacy
  registration in India. Else you can even register
  your business as a private limited company.

Eligibility for Pharmacy Registration in India
However, you need to be aware that in most
states, a person needs to possess a
university-recognized diploma or a degree in
pharmacy. It will be helpful to obtain pharmacy

colleges is accessible through the Pharmacy
Council of India website.

  square meters. Space air conditioners and
  refrigerators will also be required to store
  drugs in the Chemist Shop.

Authorizations and Experience Required
If you are applying for a Wholesale Drug License
(WDL), you will not need to possess any degree or
diploma in pharmacy. But you will have to ensure
that the sale of drugs will take place under the

degree-holder with at least one year of
experience in dealing with drugs can also conduct
the same. In both retail pharmacy stores and
wholesale pharmacy stores, drugs can only be sold
by pharmacists who have been approved by the
states Department of Drug Control.

  will need to deposit a number of documents in
  order to obtain a Retail Drug Licence or a
  Wholesale Drug Licence.

  India is quite similar to opening a pharmacy in

  personal supervision of registered Pharmacist of
  the pharmacy
• Valid Bill for Every sale

  by the Government.
