Overview

Precision-Built for Oral Solid Dosage Forms.

As one of the twelve manufacturing units within Akums' network, Plant‑I anchors the company's oral solids business — the largest and most diverse category in its portfolio. Oral solids remain the most widely prescribed and cost-effective dosage category worldwide, and this facility is purpose-built to support brands that need dependable, at-scale production without compromising on regulatory rigor.

The unit's layout, air-handling systems, and material flow are designed around the specific needs of solid-dose manufacturing: controlled humidity for granulation, dust containment for powder handling, and validated cleaning protocols between product changeovers.

Plant‑I's EU-GMP renewal for oral solid dosage forms — alongside Plant‑II's fresh EU-GMP certification for oral liquids — reflects Akums' ongoing investment in bringing its Haridwar cluster up to the standards required for supply into European regulated markets.
