Generic means it is made by the cheapest supplier as a result no? Hence India is largest supplier of generic's and put an export ban on a raft of stuff including active ingredients, so there are supply chain issues still

Well, the cheapest supplier is the cheapest supplier that can actually supply.
Similar to how Fracking only becomes viable when crude is really, really pricey (or unavailable), it's entirely possible that this stuff will start being produced in locations and facilities that are usually 'priced out', due to cheap supply from India.

It's a generic though* so some enterprising people somewhere will start spitting out tonnes of the stuff.
* at least I think it is - it is, by drugs standards, somewhat ancient.
