IDMA and the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP), Government of India, are organizing multiple Seminars / Workshops on GMP and GST across India.

IDMA has also played a stellar role in providing free medicines to the affected citizens during national calamities, whenever called upon.
IDMA is proud to be the only Association in the country with a weekly publication; an industry-specific IDMA Bulletin. We also have a monthly publication which is a research-based scientific journal, called Indian Drugs.

IDMA and its all active boards are constantly focusing on attending to members’ queries and assisting them in resolving issues viz. current issues related to NDPS & FDCs. In order to provide better service; we engage several professionals/experts to help settle said ‘issues’ viz., Regulatory, Pricing, FMRAI, Legal, EXIM, etc.
