- Abstract
This article presents information regarding research conducted by Indian drug firms. According to the World Health Organization, India is the fourth largest producer of pharmaceuticals and 66.7% of its exports go to developing countries. India is also the world's leading supplier of generic medicines. Some front-runners with financial muscle can afford to focus on R&D, but analysts predict that second-rung companies will have to struggle as contract manufacturers and distributors for multinationals.
