Minimum order quantities and pricing for pharma exports from India
Towada Products · New Delhi, India · Updated October 2026
There is no single minimum order quantity for pharmaceutical exports from India. The minimum varies by product and destination market. Export prices are quoted for each order and depend on the product, the quantity, the destination country and current availability. A formal quotation or proforma invoice states the price, the currency, the delivery term and how long the offer is valid.
What decides the export price of a medicine?
The main factors are:
- the product, brand and manufacturer
- the quantity ordered
- the destination country
- current availability
- the shipping method and any special packaging, such as temperature-controlled packing
- the documents required
- the payment terms
What is included in a quoted price?
It depends on the delivery term (Incoterm) stated in the quotation. Under EXW or FCA the price covers the goods only and the buyer pays freight. Under CPT, CIP or CIF the price includes freight to the destination, and under CIP or CIF it also includes insurance. Import duties and taxes in the destination country are normally paid by the importer unless the quotation says otherwise. Always check which term a quotation uses before comparing prices from different suppliers.
