Punjab — India's NCD Frontline State, Now Backed by a 23% Surge in Health Budget
More than half of Punjab’s adult population has hypertension. Nearly 1 in 5 adults above 45 has diabetes. These patients refill prescriptions every 30 days — for life. This is the most predictable pharmaceutical market in North India.

Health Budget Hike — ₹6,879 Crore in 2026-27
Punjab’s disease profile is a strategic franchise asset. With hypertension at 51.8% and a maturing diabetes market shifting toward premium SGLT-2s , the state offers high-volume, recurring revenue.
Furthermore, the Mukh Mantri Punjab Cancer Raahat Kosh Scheme and the State Cancer Institute are centralizing oncology care. This disproportionate cancer burden creates a concentrated, high-margin specialty market for biosimilars and advanced therapies across the regional patient catchment.
