India's penicillin production faces Chinese price undercutting

India wants to make its own important medicines, like penicillin, to be self-reliant.

A big company, Aurobindo Pharma, built a large factory to make penicillin.

But then, other countries, especially China, started selling penicillin much cheaper.

This makes it hard for India to compete.

Some people think India should set a minimum price for imported penicillin to help its own factories.

Others think Indian companies should find ways to make their products cheaper.

This is important because it could help India become a leader in making important medicines again.
