INDIA’S Pillar in Innovation and Healthcare

BULK DRUG PARK

To support the growth of India’s Pharmaceutical industries and enhance Gujarat’s position in the sector, GIDC has established a Bulk Drug Park in Jambusar, Bharuch, Gujarat. The project is currently underway and covers over 2,000 acres of land, boasting top-notch infrastructure. The proposed site is strategically located in the DFC corridor’s influence zone, near PCPIR, and surrounded by well-established industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and metallurgy.
