Questions

What counts as tier-2 here?
An India-headquartered supplier holding at least one and at most five US DMFs or CEPs combined, with filings on record. The cap is what separates them from the large houses; the floor is what keeps unevidenced names out.
Why look beyond the large Indian suppliers?
The best-known names are already at capacity on popular molecules and price accordingly. Credentialed smaller suppliers are where uncommitted capacity and negotiating room tend to be.
How many Indian suppliers are in the directory overall?
673 India-headquartered suppliers, of which 418 have filings on record.
