Source: MediSaathi Rx India — Savings Statistics (https://www.mymedisaathi.com/data/savings-stats)Across 13,271 medicines tracked by MediSaathi, switching from the most expensive branded option to the cheapest generic with the same salt saves 65% on average — about ₹483 per medicine.
In MediSaathi's live dataset, the average branded medicine price is ₹743 while the cheapest generic with the same active salt averages ₹260.

Prices are refreshed daily via automated data pipelines, and this page recomputes its aggregates from live data twice a day. Salt mappings are cross-referenced against CDSCO and NPPA records.
