Cancer changes a family's life in an instant. Patients and their loved ones must confront difficult decisions about treatment, finances and the future. For many households, medicine costs become an added burden at a time when every resource should be devoted to recovery. A compassionate health system must respond to the financial dis-tress the disease causes.
Keeping this in mind, the Union government has rationalised trade margins for 137 identified non-scheduled anti-cancer drugs: The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) capped the margins at 30% of the maximum retail price (MRP). The revised prices came into effect on November 9, 2026. The price a patient pays must reflect fair and reasonable trade margins, not excessive mark-ups.
Says Hon'ble Union Minister of chemical and Fertilizers Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda in Hindustan Times

1. संशोधित MRP पैक पर छपी है।
2. कोई दुकान संशोधित MRP से ज़्यादा नहीं ले सकती।
