About — National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) is a statutory body under India's Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers that fixes ceiling prices for essential medicines to keep them affordable. In 2022 it capped the anti‑cancer drug imatinib at ₹1,500 per tablet, a 70% cut from market rates, illustrating its role in protecting public health.
