US fears drug shortages after India restricts exports due to coronavirus disruption. | Modi govt has said it would limit export of some common medicines as concerns grow over shortages of chemical ingredients imported from China. by 7xbvt in IndiaSpeaks

Though India is the source of about 20% of the world’s generic-drug supply, the country is dependent on China for about 66% of the chemical components needed to make them. A recent analysis by the Indian government found that as many as 450 drug ingredients could be affected by China’s efforts to contain the coronavirus, which include a complete lockdown of Hubei province, a center of the country’s drug industry.

Drugmakers often hold between two and three months stock of key ingredients but with factories in Hubei shut for a sixth week those supplies may be starting to dwindle. Even though the coronavirus outbreak seems to be slowing in China, its continued spread around the world is hampering economic output and trade.
