Medical device park

• Promotion of Medical Device Parks (PMDP) is a Central Sector Scheme of the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP), Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, providing grants-in-aid to State Governments to create common infrastructure for cluster-based medical device manufacturing.
• Designed to cut India's ~60% import dependence in medical devices, lower manufacturing cost, and complement the PLI Scheme for Medical Devices.
• Examinable because it sits at the intersection of Atmanirbhar Bharat, health-security, and PLI ecosystem — frequently asked in Prelims (ministry/scheme matches) and Mains GS-III (industry, health).
