The Indian pharmaceutical market is the 4th largest by volume globally but 13th by value, with low prices and 70% of the population lacking access to drugs. There are typically 200 brands for every molecule due to a lack of pharmaceutical patents. The medicine distribution network in India involves primary distribution from companies to central warehouses to regional warehouses, and secondary distribution from regional warehouses to distributors and dealers using vehicles like trucks, Tata Ace, Ape 3-wheelers, and motorcycles. Tertiary distribution goes from dealers to drug stores and hospitals for counter selling. Ape 3-wheelers have a competitive advantage over vehicles like Tata Ace as their operating costs are 35% lower and EMI is lower
