Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a major relief in Union Budget 2026: basic customs duty exempted on 17 life-saving cancer drugs to slash treatment costs for patients.
Duty waivers also extended to drugs and special medical food for 7 more rare diseases, plus personal import tariffs cut from 20% to 10%.
Relief arrives as India's disease burden shifts to cancer and NCDs, making biologics more affordable.
