Lupin Chemicals was incorporated in the year 1983, promoted by Lupin
Laboratories, with an aim to manufacture rifampicin, an anti-TB drug at
Tarapur. The company consolidated its position in fermentation to produce
rifampicin from the basic stage. The highly complicated procedure of

tie-up from Fermic, Mexico.
Lupin Laboratories was bought as defunct firm in 1968. It had manufacturing
facilities in Aurangabad, Ankleshwar and Mandideep and a joint venture in
Thailand. Its activities included pharmaceuticals, bulk drugs and formulations,

A
detailed report on Management Discussion and Analysis covering Finished
Dosages, API operations and RandD is given as a separate statement, which forms
part of this Annual Report.
Highlights of the operations, during the
year ended March 31, 2007, are given below:-
1) Finished Dosages
a. India Region Formulations
(IRF)
The
IRF yet again outperformed the Indian finished dosages market by attaining a
growth of 30%. The Indian Pharmaceutical market grew by 14% as per ORG MAR MAT
07. The Company enjoys a market share of 2.4% and its ranking has improved from
9th to 7th in the Indian Pharmaceutical Market. It also has the distinction of
recording the highest value growth among the top 10 Indian pharma
companies.
While maintaining its undisputed leadership in the Anti-TB segment with a
market share of 46%, the Company has also sustained the number two position in
Anti-Asthma segment. In Cardiovasculars, the Company recorded the fastest
growth rate (41%) among the top 10 companies and exceeded the market growth
rate by over three times. The Diabetes business, which was launched three years
ago, registered a growth of 54% during the year as against industry growth of
17%. In the Anti-infective segment, the Company ranks amongst the top ten
players.
It is gratifying that through its Lupinova Division engaged in providing
essential medicines to the rural masses at an affordable price, the Company's
endeavour is to discharge its social obligations, apart from attaining deeper
and wider market reach.
Launch of innovative combinations and introducing in-licensed products,
attainment of critical mass through depth and width of market penetration,
focus on rural marketing, new introductions, rising market share in chronic
segments, coupled with higher volumes of existing products and motivated and
passionate sales team have been some of the critical growth drivers.
b. Advanced Markets
The
Company operates in the advanced market of the US through its wholly owned
subsidiary, namely, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (LPI), U.S.A. The Company showed
encouraging performance in the US market, which is the largest and one of the
most competitive markets of the world. Total formulation revenues from the
advanced markets (North American and Europe) registered a growth of 48%. The
driving factor was the growth in the finished dosages, particularly generics.
The Company has been delivering value to the customers by offering quality
products in the generic space at affordable prices.
The noteworthy feature has been that the Company has attained significant
market share and rankings for its product portfolio. The launch of Lisinopril
tablets last year was listed by IMS Health as one of the top 10 launches in the
US generics. Cefprozil tablets captured 25% share and rank 20d in the market.
Cefprozil suspension also commands 25% market share and ranks 3rd. The Company
has adopted a prudent strategy of graduating to a blend of patent challenges
and plain filings.
On the branded side, Suprax., a product promoted by internalised sales team,
performed very well during the year. Prescriptions increased from 5,000 per
week last year, to 8,500 in the high season. A novel formulation of Cefixime,
which is a line extension of Suprax., would further strengthen the Company's
position in the Cephalosporins oral suspension paediatric market.
The Company's strength in API has been effectively leveraged to attain critical
position in formulation space. This in turn injects greater sustainability to
the business model in the advanced markets.
A significant feature of the play in this market has been the transformation
and maturing of LPI into a Direct To Market' (DTM) entity, which has been
recognised by customers and channels of trade. The company selectively follows
marketing alliance route.
For the European markets, the Company has accelerated its filings to create a
pipeline of lucrative products. The Company was the first to receive marketing
approval for generic Cefpodoxime Proxetil 100mg tablets in France. The French
market is the biggest European market for this product.
c. Rest of the world
The
AAMLA division, which covers the regions of Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin
America and Japan performed well during the year. The Company has adopted a
strategy of entering into alliances with local partners in difficult markets
like Japan. The Company has a licensing agreement for its Anti-TB range for the
severely affected West and North African regions. The Company has secured the
approval from the Gulf Co-operative Council, for the Company's facilities at
Mandideep and Goa, which would provide the gateway for registration of products
in the Gulf region. The introduction of Multi Drug Resistant Anti-TB products
would further strengthen the Company's Anti-TB portfolio in the Latin American
region. The Company's efforts would be to launch value added generic and paediatric
products in the strategically important AAMLA region.
The CIS business recorded steady progress and offers good growth prospects. The
Company has established its reputation and eminence in Anti-TB segment and is
consolidating its presence in herbal segment and Anti-Infectives, including
Cephalosporins. CIS shows strong brand preference. Through its motivated,
trained and focused sales team of over 85 representatives, the Company is set
to further strengthen its branded business for long-term gains.
The Company is one of the few that were pre-qualified as a preferred supplier
of Anti-TB products to the Global Drug Facility (GDF). The Anti-TB formulations
manufactured by the Company are supplied through GDF to more than 50 countries,
which are identified as High TB Burden Countries by the WHO.
2) API and Intermediates
The
Company adopts the strategy of becoming global leader in chosen products, which
insulates the API business from being thinly spread. The leadership stems from
its capabilities in the areas of knowledge of complex chemistry, project
implementation, research and regulatory understanding.
This business continued to perform exceedingly well, taking support of the
solid foundation in terms of its skills, scales and reach. The performance was
mainly on account of larger volumes and cost efficiency. The Company has
further strengthened its leadership position in segments, such as Anti-TB,
Cephalosporins and Prils.
The Company has established business blocks, tailor made for some of the large
multi-national companies, which would provide an opportunity of inter-linking
the Company's competencies with theirs. The Company is also exploring the
possibilities of entering new therapies and of inorganic growth.
Overall, this makes the Company the most profitable API business in the
country.
3) Research and Development
The
progress in the field of research has been steady and remarkable. The Lupin
Research Park plays a pivotal role in managing cutting edge pharmaceutical
science. Its endeavour is to create efficacious and differentiated products for
the market place.
In a landmark development, the Company entered into an agreement with
Laboratoires Servier of France for the sale of certain patent applications and related
Intellectual Property (IP) for Perindopril, for a consideration of Euro 20 Mn.
This agreement testifies and demonstrates the Company's research and IP
capabilities.
The Company has made significant strides in the NCE space. It has received
approvals from Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for conducting
Phase-III clinical trials for its Anti-Migraine compound LLL 2011 (Amigra) and
Phase-II clinical trials for its Psoriasis compound LL-4218 (Desoside-P). Two
other molecules for Anti-TB and Psoriasis (herbal compound) are in various
phases of clinical trials.
While R and D provided the requisite lever to maintain the pace of regulatory
filings, its focus during the year was oriented towards increasing the
complexity of the pipeline through controlled release and differentiated
products that would offer niche opportunities. In line with this orientation,
the Company has established an innovation Celt for creating higher innovations.
Rural Development Programme
The
Company is committed to fulfilling its social responsibilities through its NGO
arm, namely, Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation (LHWRF). It has set in
motion a silent revolution in the upliftment of rural underprivileged and
vulnerable sections of the society including women and children. It operates in
the states of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It adopts
a simple and innovative model to achieve its objectives. It creates a local
body at village Level, with direct participation of villagers, women, scheduled
castes and tribes as mandatory participants. While the local body decides the
priority activities, LHWRF imparts requisite expertise and part-finance for
successful implementation of the said activities. The activities range from
water projects, constructing school buildings, toilets, low cost rural houses,
internal roads, to conducting training programmes in agriculture, animal
husbandry and rural industrial vocations.
LHWRF was conferred the prestigious FICCI Ladies Organisation Award for its
outstanding contribution in women's welfare. LHWRF was also conferred the
'Stree Shakti' Award, instituted by the Government of Rajasthan.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT
The Global Pharmaceutical Market*
According
to IMS Health, the world pharmaceutical market grew from US$ 334 Bn. in 1999,
to US$ 643 Bn. in 2006. North America alone accounts for 48% of global sales,
registering a growth of 8%. Europe and Japan, the other major markets,
accounted for 30% and 9% of global sales, respectively. Asia, Africa and
Australia grew at around 10% and account for 9% of global sales. The ten major
markets account for 80% of the total market, in terms of revenue.
The economic, structural, political and health dynamics that impact growth, are
rebalancing the worldwide pharmaceutical market, driving global growth to 5-6%
for 2007 and it is expected to see global pharmaceutical sales to reach US$
665-685 Bn. in 2007. The expanding availability of healthcare and an increasing
need for treatment associated with chronic disease, more typically found in
developed countries, is driving higher growth rates in the developing
countries. It is estimated that emerging markets, currently representing around
17% of the global market, are expected to contribute 30% of growth next
year.
The top five markets of Europe (France, Germany, U.K., Italy and Spain)
combined are expected to grow by 3-4%. These countries are witnessing increased
demand from an ageing population; cost-containment measures; and an increasing
use of incentives, for encouraging the usage of generics. While the Japanese
market is forecast to grow 5-6% in 2007, emerging markets, including China and
India that had grown more than 10% in 2006, are estimated to maintain their growth
momentum due to their expanding economies and broader access to
medications.
