Dr. HG Koshia, Commissioner of Food and Drugs Control Administration (FDCA), Gujarat, and Dr. MP Nakrani, Assistant Commissioner of FDCA, Bharuch Circle, graced the inauguration ceremony with their presence.
Dr. Koshia said, “It is truly a pleasure to visit Cadila Pharmaceuticals’ state-of-the-art API project at Dahej. It is a great moment for me, and my tribute to the legendary Pharma Man of India and catalyst of the Gujarat Pharma industry, Late Shri IA Modi. I feel and sense his presence by visiting such a beautiful creation. We miss his presence, but under his guidance and able leadership, Cadila Pharmaceuticals has created a unique API plant that will serve humankind for many years by producing quality APIs.”
Speaking on the occasion, Biswajit Mitra, Chief Mentoring Officer at Cadila Pharmaceuticals, said, “This state-of-the-art API manufacturing facility at Dahej represents our commitment to providing high-quality, cost-effective APIs to our customers worldwide.

This facility is designed to be highly efficient, aiding us in meeting the growing demand for our products. I am confident this facility will play a key role in our future success.”
Cadila Pharmaceuticals had earlier signed an MoU with the government of Gujarat for investing Rs. 1,000 crore in Gujarat. The Dahej API facility is one of the projects for which the MoU was signed.
