The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) on October 28 revised downward the maximum retail price (MRP) of 543 anti-cancer medicines of different brands.

The total number of such drugs in the list currently stands at 1,085, according to a post on X by the NPPA.

The revised list reflects information submitted by pharmaceutical companies up to November 3, and will keep getting updated as and when manufacturers submit revised prices for non-scheduled anti-cancer drugs.
