Himachal Pradesh's Bulk Drug Park Receives Environmental Clearance
Imagine a giant science lab for making medicines in Himachal Pradesh!
The government just got permission to build this lab, called the Una Bulk Drug Park.
This lab will make important ingredients for medicines, so we don't have to buy them from other countries as much.
The government is putting in lots of money to build this lab, and it will create many jobs for people.
Experts checked the area to make sure everything is safe for the environment.
This project is expected to boost the medicine industry in the state.
Himachal Pradesh received environmental clearance for the Una Bulk Drug Park from the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The project aims to reduce reliance on imported Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Key Starting Materials (KSMs).
The Bulk Drug Park has a capital outlay of Rs 2,071 crore with significant contributions from both the central and state governments.
The project is expected to generate substantial employment opportunities.
The project is implemented by Himachal Pradesh Bulk Drug Park Infrastructure Ltd. (HPBDPIL).
