Parthasaradhi Reddy had effectively brought to the notice of Rajya Sabha about the impact of US reciprocal tariff during Zero Hour on March 26.

Responding to his concern, the Prime Minister took up the issue and secured exemption for Indian pharmaceutical products from the US reciprocal  tariff.

“I understand the immense benefits this exemption will bring to our Indian pharmaceutical industry. It will not only boost our exports but also reinforce India’s position as a reliable and quality supplier of pharmaceutical products globally and retaining the title of Pharmacy of the World,” Parthasaradhi Reddy said in the letter.

This would also enable affordability and availability of lifesaving medicines for US patients. Your government’s relentless pursuit of economic diplomacy and strategic engagement with the United States has yielded this favorable outcome, he stressed.

“I appreciate the efforts of your team in negotiating and securing this exemption, which will have positive impact on our economy and employment opportunities,” Parthasaradhi Reddy said.
