India saw the highest value of imports in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in financial year 2019 of approximately 250 billion Indian rupees in the mentioned time period. India's dependency on APIs from other countries has been growing at a relatively steady pace since financial year 2012. Even though India is a top global exporter of drugs, the pharmaceutical industry, paradoxically, is also one of the largest importers of bulk drugs such as APIs from other countries, in particular, from China.
