Pune hosts a number of significant pharma manufacturers. The Serum Institute of India excels as the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer by volume. Another key player, Emcure Pharmaceuticals, produces a diverse portfolio including oral tablets, soft gels, injectables, and treatments for oncology, cardiovascular conditions, HIV, and more. There’s also Hindustan Antibiotics Limited—the first government-owned drug manufacturer in India—producing antibiotics like penicillin and streptomycin and pioneering efforts in recombinant DNA products. Together, these companies reflect Pune’s strong presence in vaccines, injectables, APIs, and public-sector pharma.
