The government has proposed ten new entry points for pharmaceutical imports, and Noida airport is included in the list.
The Ministry of Commerce has put forward a plan to add ten new gateways for the import of medicines across India. Among the locations identified, Noida airport in Uttar Pradesh features as one of the proposed entry points.
The move aims to broaden the logistics network for pharmaceutical shipments, potentially easing supply chain bottlenecks and improving drug availability nationwide. Officials say the additional gateways will complement existing ports and airports that already handle such imports.
Details of the other nine sites have not been disclosed in this brief, and the proposal is expected to undergo further review before implementation.
If approved, Noida airport could see increased cargo traffic related to the health sector, aligning with broader efforts to strengthen India's medical supply chain.
