India's PLI Scheme to Boost GLP-1 Drugs Production for Obesity and Diabetes Treatment by 2026

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs are primarily used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

This initiative will benefit Indian pharmaceutical giants like Sun Pharma, Cipla, and Lupin, which are already involved in the GLP-1 segment.

The rising demand for GLP-1 drugs has led to global supply shortages, with companies like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk struggling to meet needs

This presents a golden opportunity for India to expand its pharma capabilities and become a leader in generic drug production.
