India's Device Story
How a nation that imports most of its medical devices is building the capacity, policy, and ecosystem to make them at home.
The Import Dependence
Roughly 70% of the medical devices used in Indian hospitals today are imported — from diagnostic imaging to implants. Every imported device means higher procurement cost, longer service cycles, currency exposure, and supply chains India doesn't control. COVID-19 made that dependence impossible to ignore.
Yet India's medical device market is one of the fastest growing in the world — already at ₹90,000 Cr and compounding at 15%+ annually, on track for a ₹4+ lakh Cr opportunity by 2030.
A Decade of Policy Momentum
Four policy waves have rebuilt the foundation for indigenous device manufacturing.
Make in India
Medical devices named a priority manufacturing sector; FDI route opened to 100%.
Medical Device Rules
CDSCO introduces risk-based device classification (Class A–D) — regulatory clarity for makers.
PLI Scheme
₹3,420 Cr production-linked incentive outlay plus four dedicated MedTech parks.
Atmanirbhar Bharat
Public procurement preference for domestic devices; GeM onboarding; export ambition.
Discovery Is the Missing Link
Capacity is growing. Policy is aligned. What's missing is visibility — hospitals can't easily find Indian alternatives, distributors can't find OEM partners, and investors can't see the companies building them. MIIMD exists to close that gap: a verified, searchable, free-to-browse home for India's medical device ecosystem.
