LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 

 a) Industry Structure and Development: 


The global pharmaceutical market is estimated to be worth about US $660 billion and is growing at a rate of about 6% per annum. US, Japan and Europe constitute about 85% of the global pharmaceutical market and are growing at a slower rate of about 5% per annum mainly due to loss of exclusivity and lesser new product approvals. 


 In contrast, pharmaceutical market of emerging economies like India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, etc., are growing at a much faster rate of over 12% per annum backed by improving per capita income and increased access and rising awareness of modern medicines. 


  b) Opportunities, threat and concerns: 


Though in the world pharmaceutical market, India has a share about 2% by value and 8% by volume, India today is recognized as one of the leading global players with large number of drug master file registrations and regulatory approved manufacturing facilities. The Indian pharmaceutical industry is poised to grow to a staggering US$ 25 billion by 2010. 


Indian companies are today focusing on global generic business, R & D activities and contract research and manufacturing alliances with multinational companies. India is also fast emerging as a preferred pharmaceuticals manufacturing location. These shall act as future growth drivers for Indian Pharmaceutical Industry. 


However, poor public healthcare funding and infrastructure, low per capita consumption of medicines in developing and under developed countries are a few causes of concern. 


 Financial Performance and Operations Review: 


The Company had another successful financial year with a net total income of Rs.10851.400 Millions as against Rs.9248.400 Millions in the previous year, a growth of 17%

.  
The Company's focus on formulations business resulted into increase in overall formulation sales to Rs.7735.900 Millions, an

increase of 23% over previous year formulations sales of Rs.6272.400 Millions


The company further expanded its therapeutic coverage with introduction of new formulations, both in the domestic and

export markets, especially in the fast growing life style related segments

 
However, the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) & Drug Intermediates business declined by 5% to Rs.2683.500 Millions mainly on account of lower Drug Intermediates sales.

 
The operations have resulted in a net profit of Rs.1411.200 Millions during the financial year under report as against a net profit of Rs.1222.300 Millions in the previous financial year, a growth of 15%.
