Quality, FDA Registration Map

The world's strictest regulator trusts Indian pharma

Over 1,000 pharmaceutical facilities across India are registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration, the world's most demanding drug regulator. Each facility is subject to FDA inspection, documentation review, and compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). This is not a claim, it is the FDA's own public record.

What this map means

🔬

Registered and inspectable

Every facility on this map is registered with the US FDA under 21 CFR Part 207. The FDA can inspect any of them at any time, and does. This is not voluntary; it is a legal condition of supplying the US market.

🏭

India's pharma heartland

Telangana (249), Gujarat (203), and Maharashtra (158) together account for over half of all FDA-registered facilities. These states form the backbone of India's pharmaceutical manufacturing ecosystem.
