GST Reform 2025: Unlocking New Opportunities for Indian Pharma Exports

India’s pharmaceutical industry has long been recognized as the “Pharmacy of the World,” supplying affordable, high-quality medicines to more than 200 countries. With the GST reform announced in September 2025, India has taken another significant step to make its pharmaceutical exports even more competitive in global markets.

At Unnati Pharmax, we are proud to be part of this transformation—delivering WHO-GMP certified, USFDA-approved, and globally compliant medicines to our international partners.

1. Reduced Tax Burden = Affordable Medicines Worldwide

The revised GST structure now simplifies tax slabs to 5%, 18%, and 40%.

• Essential medicines & life-saving drugs → 5%
• Medical equipment & devices → 18%

Impact for global buyers:

• Lower procurement costs
• More competitive pricing
• Greater accessibility to Indian generic medicines

This makes Indian pharmaceuticals more affordable and strengthens India’s role as a reliable healthcare partner.

2. Zero-Rated Exports = Transparent Global Trade

Under the updated GST framework, exports remain zero-rated.

For exporters like Unnati Pharmax, this means:

• No GST on exports
• Ability to claim input tax refunds (raw materials, packaging, logistics)

Impact for global customers:

• Transparent, fair pricing
• No hidden tax burden
• Increased trust in Indian pharma exports

3. Boosting India’s Position as a Global Healthcare Leader

India already contributes 20% of the world’s generic medicine exports by volume. With the GST reform:

• Compliance becomes smoother
• Supply chains move faster
• Export costs are reduced

Impact: India strengthens its position as a global healthcare leader, ensuring affordable medicines reach hospitals, pharmacies, and patients across the globe.
