Launch of the Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) Online Portal

New Delhi, [19 August, 2024]: In a major stride towards fulfilling Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘Digital India’, Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) Online Portal (www.iponline.ipc.gov.in) was launched by the Hon’ble Minister of Health & Family Welfare and Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Shri J.P. Nadda during the 1st Policy Makers Forum held at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi.

Speaking at the launch, the Hon’ble Minister of Health & Family Welfare emphasized that this digital transformation would revolutionize the accessibility of IP standards, allowing users to refer to drug monographs seamlessly on their computers and mobile devices. This enhanced accessibility is expected to extend the reach of the IP to a broad audience, ensuring that all stakeholders have easy access to vital information.

In line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of making India a global leader in pharmaceuticals, IPC is collaborating with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and the Ministry of External Affairs to secure recognition and acceptance of the IP by foreign countries. The availability of a digital version will elevate the IP's presentation to the level of other Pharmacopoeias in the world. The improved quality of content, coupled with online accessibility, is expected to facilitate the global recognition of IP, aiding Indian drug manufacturers in exporting medicines at a competitive cost.

The launch of the IP Online Portal underscores the Government’s commitment to embracing digital transformation and enhancing the global presence of Indian pharmaceutical standards.
