Hello!
Since you are more interested in getting a pharmacy license, I refined
my search mostly to that. Moreover, getting the average sale price of
the pharmacy, according to the people I spoke with, purely depends
about the reputation of the pharmacy (location, years in business,
stock, referral doctors).
===============
Pharma Biz India (http://www.pharmabiz.com) is a publishing house
which specializes in Indian pharmacy business. You need to subscribe
to the website to access the resources available there. Subscription
cost is 200 USD. Most of your queries related to Indian Pharmacy can
be found in this website after you subscribe.
I spoke to them about the procedure for getting pharmacy license and
here is what the person there informed me:
?Getting a pharmacy license is pretty simple, you don?t need to hire a
consultant or lawyer if you are doing this on a small scale. You have
to visit the Maharashtra FDA and apply for the license with some
documents like Pharmacy certificate of the person (usually a bachelors
degree in pharmacy recognized by UGC (University Grants Commission)
India), there is some nominal fees of about 500 Indian Rupees.
Thereafter FDA shall conduct some verification viz. visiting the
place, checking the credentials of the person. This procedure can take
about a month or so.?
The head quarter of FDA is situated at :
Survey No. 341,
Bandra- Kurla Complex, Bandra (east),
Mumbai -400 051.

It was not practically feasible to get an average selling price for
pharmacies since people whom I called resisted answering about that. I
however talked to a few people about this and according to their
estimates it should range from 500000 INR (about 10,794 USD) to
2000000. As I mentioned in my Question Clarification earlier, larger
profitable pharmacies would normally be not interested in selling
their business. There may, however, be cases where the sale price may
be cheaper for ?sick-units? or pharmacies closing their shop. That
can, however, be ascertained only after doing an exhaustive research
on that, which would include doing a survey of small pharmacies and
then, communicate with each individually and eventually negotiating
the business offer.
