Trump has announced a phased tariff plan for imported generic drugs: zero tariffs for two years, then 100% from August 2028, and 200% a year later. The move is meant to push drugmakers to shift manufacturing to the US, while branded and patented drugs are not part of this specific generic-drug announcement.<\/p>\n
For India, this matters because the country is a major supplier of low-cost generics to the US, so the plan may pressure exporters, margins, and stock sentiment in pharma names linked to US sales. Market reports on July 22 showed shares of companies such as Glenmark, Biocon, and Aurobindo slipping after the announcement.<\/p>\n
The bigger message is simple: Trump is using tariffs as a lever to bring drug production back onshore, but the 2-year window gives companies time to adapt. In the near term, the announcement creates uncertainty for Indian pharma, yet it also opens a race for firms that can localise US production, build supply chain resilience, and protect price competitiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
