The Department of Pharmaceuticals is a part of the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers.

The Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers comprises three departments: Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Department of Fertilizers, and Department of Pharmaceuticals. The Department of Pharmaceuticals was set up to give greater focus and thrust to the development of the Pharmaceuticals sector in India.

Other Ministries like Health and Family Welfare are related to the healthcare sector, but the administrative control over the pharmaceutical industry itself (manufacturing, pricing, regulation of drug production quality, etc.) lies significantly with the Department of Pharmaceuticals under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers.
