Revision of ceiling prices for scheduled drugs by NPPA
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) aims to meet twin objectives by revising the ceiling prices of scheduled drugs:
  • To ensure that essential medicines are available at reasonable prices to the general public, especially for life-saving drugs and treatments.
  • To regulate the prices of scheduled drugs to prevent pharmaceutical companies from overcharging and profiteering, thus making healthcare more accessible and affordable to all segments of society.
By achieving these objectives, the NPPA plays a crucial role in promoting public health, ensuring fair pricing, and regulating the pharmaceutical industry for the benefit of consumers.
