Jan Aushadhi outlets achieved Rs 1,000 crore in sales in October, highlighting the growing trust in affordable and quality medicines. The scheme has expanded significantly, with over 14,000 outlets across India.
New Delhi, Oct 21 (PTI) Sales of Jan Aushadhi outlets reached Rs 1,000 crore mark in October this year, a feat that was achieved in December 2023.
Notably, Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices Bureau of India (PMBI) had sold medicines worth Rs 200 crore in single month of September 2024.
