Gandhinagar: North Gujarat accounts for 12% of the state’s pharmaceuticals manufacturing output, and this sector will be showcased in the Vibrant Gujarat regional conference (VGRC) for the region that will be held in Mehsana next month, said the state govt on Monday.
Mehsana presents significant opportunities in the manufacturing of bulk drugs, APIs, intermediates, and formulations, supported by established companies, stated an official statement, adding: “Patan district complements this with a robust base of pharma MSMEs specialising in injectables and formulations.
