India to Uganda: Hydrochlorothiazide Export Trade Route

The India to Uganda Hydrochlorothiazide corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 136 shipments documented worth a combined $6.7M USD. The route is dominated by ARISTO PHARMACEUTICALS PRIVATE LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 75% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's hydrochlorothiazide manufacturing sector.

Across 11 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $49.4K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 84% of all shipments, consistent with hydrochlorothiazide's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during July–September, with an average transit time of 15 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 21.8%, placing it at rank #5 among India's top hydrochlorothiazide export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian hydrochlorothiazide in Uganda include NORVIK ENTERPRISES LIMITED, PHILLIPS PHARMACEUTICALS (UGANDA), NORVIK ENTERPRISES LIMITED and 16 others. NORVIK ENTERPRISES LIMITED is the single largest importer with 36 shipments valued at $4.7M USD.

India's hydrochlorothiazide exports to Uganda are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. ARISTO PHARMACEUTICALS PRIVATE LIMITED with 62 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 11 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — buyers in Uganda benefit from supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — ARISTO PHARMACEUTICALS PRIVATE LIMITED, MICRO LABS LIMITED, MSN LABORATORIES PRIVATE LIMITED — together account for 95% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $49.4K USD reflects a mix of bulk commercial orders and smaller specialty shipments.

Beyond the primary product category, shipments on this route include closely related formulations such as aristo telvas h 40/12.5 (telmisartan & hydrochlorothiazide tablets usp 40/12.5mg) (1650 x 10 x 10's= 165000 tablets) and amlozaar h (amlodipine 5mg + losartan potassium 50mg + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg tablets)(3x10`s)(qty- 40664.000)tax in, suggesting that buyers in Uganda tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, NORVIK ENTERPRISES LIMITED is the largest importer with 36 shipments worth $4.7M USD — representing 70% of all hydrochlorothiazide imports from India on this route. A total of 19 buyers are active on this corridor.
