⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Key raw materials include petroleum-based products, various Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), and chemical intermediates. These materials are critical for the bulk drug manufacturing process.

Import Sources

A significant portion of APIs and intermediates are sourced from China. The company also leverages its strategic location in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, for domestic sourcing of utilities and raw materials.

Key Suppliers

Specific supplier names are not disclosed, but the company relies heavily on Chinese manufacturers for intermediates, which exposes it to supply chain disruptions.

Capacity Expansion

Current facilities include a 7,500 sq. mt. API plant in Indore with four manufacturing blocks (5,000 sq. mt.). Expansion includes the first state-of-the-art fermentation plant, with 50% civil construction completed as of late 2023.

Raw Material Costs

Operating expenditure, largely driven by raw materials, rose 8.7% to INR 83.32 Cr in FY25. Raw material prices for APIs and intermediates have risen significantly due to production restrictions in China and inflationary pressures on petroleum-based products.

Manufacturing Efficiency

The company maintains GMP and WHO standards. Manufacturing efficiency is supported by a strong R&D setup and a 35-year track record in the industry.
