Chandigarh: the gateway to the Baddi pharma belt and NIPER Mohali
Chandigarh and the Tricity (with Mohali and Panchkula) open onto one of Asia's largest pharma manufacturing clusters, the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh belt just across the Himachal border. With NIPER Mohali, PGIMER and Ind-Swift nearby, the region pairs deep manufacturing scale with premier pharma research and education talent.
Why it matters: The adjoining Baddi belt is one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs in Asia.
