PCD Pharma Franchise in Chandigarh

The pharma market in Chandigarh

Chandigarh is the medical centre of the region. PGIMER, the Government Medical College and Hospital in Sector 32 and the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital in Sector 16 draw patients from Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, and specialist clinics and nursing homes are spread across the sectors.

For a franchise partner this means two kinds of demand: retail chemists in the sector markets and Manimajra, and prescription business from specialists. Antibiotic, gastro and neuro products move through both.

Areas around Chandigarh

Chandigarh is in Chandigarh (Union Territory). A franchise partner based here can also cover:

• Manimajra
• Sector markets (17, 22, 35 and others)
• Industrial Area Phase I and II
• Burail
• Daria
• Maloya

The exact area each partner covers is agreed with us in writing.

Supply to Chandigarh from Panchkula

Chandigarh is about 10 km by road from our office at SCF-73, Basement Floor, New Grain Market, Sector-20, Panchkula. All orders are dispatched from Panchkula with the invoice and batch details. Transit time depends on the transporter and route, so we confirm the dispatch method and expected delivery time for your area when you enquire.

How a PCD franchise works in Chandigarh

Ancare Life Sciences supplies branded, labelled products, the price list and promotional material. As our franchise partner in Chandigarh, you hold the wholesale licence, promote the products to doctors and chemists in your area, and place orders with us as your business grows. You do not need a manufacturing unit or your own brand. Read what a PCD pharma franchise is for a fuller explanation.

Drug licence for a franchise in Chandigarh

To buy from us and sell to chemists, clinics and hospitals in Chandigarh, you need a wholesale drug licence from the Drugs Control Office of the Chandigarh Administration (Health Department). For most allopathic medicines this means the wholesale licences in Forms 20B and 21B under the Drugs Rules, 1945. The authority will ask for premises details, suitable storage (with refrigeration for cold-chain products) and a qualified competent person, and usually inspects the premises before issuing the licence. You also need GST registration.

See documents required for a PCD pharma franchise for the full list, and confirm the current rules with the authority before you apply.
