Empty Capsules (Gelatin & HPMC) — Supplier in Hyderabad

Surravi Phharma supplies empty hard capsule shells in Hyderabad — both Gelatin (animal-derived) and HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, vegetarian) capsules manufactured at USFDA-approved facilities. Available in the complete size range from Size 00 (largest, ~750 mg fill capacity) to Size 5 (smallest, ~100 mg fill capacity), in plain transparent and coloured options, with pharmacopoeial compliance to IP, BP, EP, and USP standards. Empty capsules are stored in our centralised, air-conditioned warehouse to maintain moisture content and dimensional stability.

Empty hard capsules are one of the most widely used oral dosage forms in the Indian pharmaceutical industry — used by both large pharmaceutical manufacturers and small nutraceutical brands for filling powders, granules, pellets, and mini-tablets. The choice between gelatin and HPMC capsules depends on the product's target market, API characteristics, and consumer preferences.

Gelatin capsules are the industry standard for most pharmaceutical applications — they have a long regulatory history, excellent machinability on high-speed capsule filling machines, and are highly cost-effective. They are derived from bovine or porcine collagen and are not suitable for halal, kosher, vegetarian, or vegan-certified products. HPMC capsules (also called veggie caps or vegetarian capsules) are the preferred choice for nutraceutical brands, Ayurvedic products, and any formulation targeting vegetarian, vegan, halal, or kosher consumers. HPMC capsules also have lower moisture content than gelatin, making them suitable for moisture-sensitive APIs.

All capsules we supply are manufactured at USFDA-inspected and approved plants, ensuring compliance with global pharmaceutical manufacturing standards. Each batch comes with a full COA covering dimensions, disintegration time, moisture content, microbial limits, and pharmacopoeial compliance. We supply pharmaceutical companies, CDMO facilities, Ayurvedic manufacturers, and nutraceutical brands across Hyderabad — from trial quantities for new product development to commercial bulk orders.
