- A.Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh
- B.Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh
- C.Ankleshwar, Gujarat
- D.Hyderabad, Telangana
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The Prime Minister used the antibiotic precursor Penicillin G as an illustration of how long-term policy can rebuild a lost industry. Indian pharmaceutical companies had depended on imported raw material for years, and bringing Penicillin G under the Production Linked Incentive scheme revived its manufacture at home after a long halt, with output resuming at Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. Options B, C and D name well known pharmaceutical and chemical centres, which is exactly what makes them tempting, but none of them was named from the stage in connection with this revival. The wider point in the address was that a full domestic supply chain for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients is being built under the same framework, drawing more than Rs 5,000 crore of investment across nearly forty operational projects. Remember the pairing of Penicillin G, the PLI scheme and Kakinada.
