What is the MRP of Wegovy in India?

The short answer

In India, Wegovy (semaglutide) costs ₹5,660 at MRP for the 0.25 mg starting pen and ₹16,400 for 2.4 mg. Each pen holds 4 weekly doses, so that is ₹1,415 to ₹4,100 a week, checked 5 Oct 2026. A first year on the US label's dose steps costs ₹1,83,210 in medicine at MRP.

Before you go further
  • Wegovy and other GLP‑1 medicines are prescription-only in India, not sold over the counter.7
  • A government statement on 1 Apr 2026 said only endocrinologists, internal-medicine specialists and cardiologists can prescribe them.7 CDSCO expert-committee minutes attach a similar condition to some approvals (endocrinologist or internal-medicine specialist), but we found no rule covering every brand.8
  • The risks are in Guide 5: Side effects and risks.
  • We list prices as facts. We don't recommend or rank any brand, and nothing here promises any result.

Wegovy has 5 pen strengths in India, from ₹5,660 for 0.25 mg to ₹16,400 for 2.4 mg, each pen holding 4 weekly doses.1,3

MRPs checked 5 Oct 2026. Weekly prices from a source were multiplied by 4. The other columns are our arithmetic, at 52 doses a year (about 4.3 a month). Pharmacies may sell below MRP.3

Your doctor sets the dose. The US label starts at 0.25 mg and steps up every 4 weeks. It ends at 2.4 mg, or at 1.7 mg.6 We found no public Indian label. Ozempic costs the same at 0.25 mg and 1 mg; Wegovy vs Ozempic compares them.1,2

What does a year of Wegovy cost?

A first year on the US label's dose steps costs ₹1,83,210 in medicine at MRP, by our arithmetic, with doctor visits extra.1,2,3,6

That is one pen at each of the first 4 steps, ₹35,610 for 16 weeks. Then come 36 weeks at 2.4 mg, at ₹4,100 a dose, which adds ₹1,47,600.1,2,3,6 The median endocrinologist fee we found on Practo was ₹1,100 a visit, checked 5 Oct 2026.11

Guide 6 adds visits and blood tests to this same example, for 6 and 12 months. Our all-in yearly cost post compares Ozempic and Mounjaro too.

Why did Wegovy's price come down?

Novo Nordisk cut Wegovy's MRP twice, in November 2025 and in a cut announced on 30 March 2026, as competition grew from Mounjaro and then generics.4,1

In November 2025, the 2.4 mg pen fell from ₹24,389 to ₹16,400, Reuters reported. Wegovy, launched in India that June, was behind Lilly's Mounjaro in sales.4

Semaglutide's Indian patent expired on 20 March 2026, and generics launched the next day.2,10 On 31 March, the 0.25 mg pen dropped from about ₹10,850 to ₹5,660. The average cut across strengths was 27%, but 2.4 mg stayed at ₹16,400.1

What do Poviztra and generic semaglutide cost?

Poviztra, Novo Nordisk's second semaglutide brand, sold in India by Emcure, costs ₹3,999 to ₹8,999 for a 4‑dose pen from 3 April 2026.5,12

Emcure calls each pen a month's pack. Indian Pharma Post gave each strength's price on 2 April. The pens cost ₹3,999 (0.25 mg), ₹4,999 (0.5 mg), ₹5,999 (1 mg), ₹7,999 (1.7 mg) and ₹8,999 (2.4 mg). Before, they cost ₹8,790 to ₹15,000.12

Generic semaglutide pens launched in March 2026 at ₹1,800 to ₹4,200 for 4 starting doses, by the makers' figures.9,10 Pen strengths and approved uses differ by brand (Dr Reddy's launched its pen for type 2 diabetes), so switching is a doctor's decision.9,10 What changed when semaglutide's patent expired covers the generics.
