Teva inaugurates R and D facility in Noida- Plans tie-ups with Indias cos for clinical research

 

New Delhi, December 28

 

The world’s largest generic company, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, is stepping up its presence in India.

 

Besides setting up a new research and development (R and D) center here, it is also planning to enter into partnerships with Indian firms  for biotechnology and conducting clinical research.

 

Speaking to newspersons after the inauguration of the R and D center in greater Noida, Mr. Aharon Yaari, President and CEO, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), Division – Teva Group, said, “India plays an important part in their development programmers and  they are looking at collaborations with Indian companies in clinical programme and cutting edge scientific areas like biotechnology”.

 

Initially, studies could be conducted on drugs for the central nervous system (CNS) and later other therapeutic segments could be added.

 

“They would also look at collaborating with India research institutes,” said Mr. Lazer Bezdin, Country Manager of Teva in India.

 

Here the company is operating through its wholly owned subsidiary, Regent Drugs Limited that it acquired in 2003

 

The Israel based company is currently focusing on the API business and so would the new research center, which has been set up with an initial investment of $ 3 million- $ 4 million.

 

The center would start with 60 scientists that would go up to 125 in three to four years. Teva has close to half –a dozen  R and D centers globally and the facility in India is the third largest after Israel and Hungary.

 

Beside, the company has a manufacturing facility at Gajrola in Uttar Pradesh for APIs that caters to Teva’s global requirements.

 

 This was inherited through the Regent acquistion with an investment of over $ 10 million.

 

“About  10 molecules for various therapeutic segments including infections diseases, antidepressants and CNS products worth $ 20 million- $ 30 million are sourced by the parent company

 

From regent. Another three new molecules will be added next year”. Said Mr. V K Batra, Managing Director

 

He further added that the strategy for entering the formulation business has not yet been finalized.

 

On acquisitions in India Mr. Yaari said the company is at the moment, looking at organic growth. “However, if at any point the company feels that acquisitions is the right way forward, they will do so” he said.

 

Some months ago the market was abuzz with talks of Teva scouting for a generic company in India.

Early this year it announced a $7.4 billion purchase of the US-based Ivaxz Corporation helping it regain the No 1 global slot, bypassing rival Novartis.

 

Source: Business World

 

World and US No 1 generics players, the $3.8 billion Teva, has its subsidiary in Faridabad, an hours drive from Delhi. Regent Drugs prefers to operate discreetly. It  belonged to the JK Group , and supplied raw materials to Teva. Last year when the plant went under, Teva acquired it .
