Why Aurangabad is a High-Growth Pharma Market
Aurangabad, classified as a Tier 2 city in Maharashtra, is currently serving a population of 1.2 Million+ across the city and its surrounding districts. The healthcare sector here is expanding at 10-12% annually — well above the national average — and the demand for quality pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and primary care continues to rise sharply.
Key factors making Aurangabad ideal for a PCD pharma franchise:
- Large healthcare consumer base — Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and chemists across the city create consistent product demand.
- Government healthcare initiatives — Schemes like Ayushman Bharat, PM-JAY, and state-level insurance programmes are boosting medicine consumption.
- Rising chronic disease burden — Cardiac, diabetic, hypertension and lifestyle-disease prescriptions are growing year-on-year.
- Insurance penetration — More residents now have health cover, leading to higher per-capita medicine spend.
- Growth in private healthcare — Multi-speciality hospitals, polyclinics, and diagnostic centres are multiplying.
For any entrepreneur looking to enter the pharma distribution business, Aurangabad presents one of the most fertile grounds in Maharashtra.
Profit Potential of Aurangabad Pharma Franchise

Year 2: ₹40-90 Lakhs revenue, ₹10-25 Lakhs profit
