The Centre on Sunday prohibited exports of Remdesivir injection and Remdesivir Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), anticipating an increase in demand for the drug used in the treatment of covid-19 patients amid a surge in coronavirus infections in the country.

As on 11 April, there are 11.08 lakh active covid-19 cases and they are steadily increasing. This has led to a sudden spike in demand for Remdesivir injection used in the treatment of covid patients. There is a potential of further increase in this demand in the coming days," said Union health minister in a statement.
Seven Indian companies are producing Injection Remdesivir under voluntary licensing agreement with Gilead Sciences. They have an installed capacity of about 38.80 lakh units per month.
