The route is dominated by AJANTA PHARMA LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 75% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's valsartan manufacturing sector.

Across 11 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $35.9K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 71% of all shipments, consistent with valsartan's non-urgent bulk-order profile.
