FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Company is in its Silver Jubilee year. This eventful journey has been a period of planned growth and success, and the Directors take this opportunity to compliment each one of the Members, customers, business associates and employees for their encouragement, support and co-operation. The Company shall maintain the momentum and stands dedicated to strive for continued growth and thereby meet every stakeholder expectation in the future, as well.

 

The year witnessed subject cross the one billion dollar revenue mark, a landmark that truly reflects the presence the Company has in the global pharmaceutical market. The challenges of the market were met vigorously due largely to the enormous advantage that the Company has built with its customer relationships, product basket, manufacturing capabilities and organizational strength. Subject demonstrated great speed and flexibility in its marketing and manufacturing efforts and resilience while dealing with competitive pressures. The performance results showcase the success.

 

The financial year 2010-2011 saw significant improvement in all parameters including revenues, operating income, profit before tax, profit after tax and earnings per share. The revenue growth of over 27.4% at Rs.42299.9 million was a culmination of their strategic initiatives in widening our presence in Europe and USA, penetrating better with larger basket of products with existing customers and commercializing of new products as well as creating footprints in untapped markets such as Japan.

 

Net profit after tax at Rs.5938 million was higher by 12.9% over Rs.5257.6 million in the previous year. It is a new high for the Company translating to Earnings per Share of Rs.18.56 (Face Value Rs.1) as compared to Rs.16.63 (adjusted for split in Face Value from Rs.5 to Rs.1). Effectively, the Company earned 11.6% higher earnings over the previous year.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

Despite the difficult economic environment, the Company delivered sales growth both in USA and Europe. The Company's total volume was higher in each of the existing markets. More importantly, there were higher deliveries in all the key therapeutic segments.

 

The Company continues to hold an enviable basket of a large number of products in several therapeutic segments approved by regulatory authorities across the globe. The marketing efforts were galvanized to create demand, deliver on expectations and ensure top line growth. Converting approvals and quickly commercializing them remains one of the Company's key strengths.

 

The newly commercialized manufacturing unit, Unit VII (SEZ) at Jedcherla added to the existing huge production capabilities of the Company to support the marketing thrust. The unit at Dayton (USA) was significantly scaled up to deliver high value products.

Consolidation of facilities helped add newer products in all other facilities. Across all facilities, production was optimized and utilization was stepped up. Overall, capacity utilization was higher month after month from June 2010.

 

Large state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities have created headroom for growth for the Company to meet market expectations. Rising volume deliveries and new product launches during 2010-2011 are a testimony to the Company's improving competitiveness.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Subject's business strategies and financial position are on solid footing even as the dynamics of the global market are challenging and changing increasingly towards cost effective generic formulations. This change is accelerating and driving the need for subject to continuously renew and upgrade its operations. The Company is equal to the challenges and expected results are being achieved by the dedicated teamwork on the manufacturing side as well as by aligning with the needs of the customers.

 

Today, greater traction is visible in formulation sales in USA, Europe and the emerging markets. Working closely with MNCs has enabled subject to become a preferred choice supplier. During 2011-2012, the Company is striving towards commercializing 12 new generics, with 4 of them expected to be on a first-to-launch basis. Higher volumes, higher utilization and improvements in productivity would improve visibility of revenues, margins and earnings.

 

The Company's clear focus on quality, product development, manufacturing efficiencies, productivity improvements and quicker reach to market will drive the future success. This focus will enable subject to enter the financial year 2011-2012 with optimism and keep the Company on track to deliver revenue of USD 2 billion in 2013-2014.

 

In order to further strengthen and provide focus to the growing volume of APIs and formulation business, the Board has constituted a Restructuring Committee to explore and evaluate possible growth linked restructuring options, inter alia, including spin-off or demerger or any other suitable form, with the ultimate objective of enhancing shareholders' value and customer satisfaction. The Restructuring Committee, consisting of Directors including independent directors, will take all necessary steps and recommend the best options to the Board for consideration.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC BACKGROUND

 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at factor cost at constant prices, as per Advance Estimates, was 8.6% in 2010-2011 representing an increase from the revised growth of 8.0% during 2009-2010, according to the Advance Estimate (AE) of Central Statistics Office (CSO). While growth appears to have been maintained, there are dark clouds which could subdue the outlook with high inflation, high interest rates, lower government expenditure and subdued investment activity. The area of concern is also the unabated rise in the global crude oil prices. While it will not only stoke further inflationary pressures it would also raise the subsidy burden of the government, and reduce the government's ability to invest in growth.

 

The Reserve Bank of India has been responding to the changing dynamics with its monetary policy and has estimated that the baseline projection of real GDP growth is around 8% based on the assumption of a normal monsoon and crude oil prices averaging $110 a barrel over the full year 2011-2012.

 

At comparative level, India continues to do much better as an economy and hence remains one of the most attractive investment destinations across the globe. Indeed, the UNCTAD World Investment Report (WIR) 2010, in its analysis of the global trends and sustained growth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows, has reported India to be the second most attractive location for FDI for 2010-2012. This is an improvement over the projection made in World Investment Prospects Survey 2009-2011, which ranked India third in the list.

 

INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE

 

Indian pharmaceutical industry can be characterized as a high technology industry with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology and over the past three decades, has transformed into a world leader in the production of high quality drugs.

 

India's pharmaceutical industry is now the 3rd largest in the world in terms of volume and ranks 14th in terms of value. A highly organized sector, the Indian pharmaceutical Industry is estimated to be worth USD 4.5 billion, growing at about 8 to 9% annually. India produces approximately 60,000 generic brands and 500 different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) across 60 therapeutic segments.

 

By 2015, Indian pharmaceutical market is expected to establish itself among the world's leading 10 markets.

 

The outlook of the Indian pharmaceutical industry can be summarized as follows:

 

·         By 2015, India will probably open a USD 8 billion market for multinational pharmaceutical companies selling expensive drugs as forecast by the FICCI-Ernst and Young India study;

·         Approximately USD 6.31 billion will be invested in the Indian pharmaceutical industry as per the estimates of the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India;

·         Indian pharmaceutical off-shoring industry is predicted to be a USD 2.5 billion opportunity by 2012 primarily because of low development cost of R and D;

·         Patented drugs are predicted to capture up to a 10% share of the total Indian pharmaceutical industry by 2015 with a market size of USD 2 billion;

·         The branded generics market will continue to dominate the Indian pharmaceutical industry. Sixty one drugs worth USD 80 billion will go off patent at the US Patent and Trademark Office between 2011 and 2013. Indian pharmaceutical industry is all set to gain from the patent expiry of some blockbuster drugs by producing their generic equivalents. Fair competition and regulatory compliance will make the difference between winners largely on the basis of product quality and scientific detailing;

·         By 2015, the specialty and super-specialty therapies will account for 45% of the pharmaceutical market. The growing lifestyle disorders, particularly metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity as well as coronary heart disease and hypertension, cardiovascular, neuropsychiatry and oncology drugs will gain considerable significance.

 

Future outlook for the Indian pharmaceutical industry seems to be extremely positive. A number of global acquisitions by the Indian pharmaceutical companies, particularly in the US and Europe, is accelerating Indian players to make their mark at the international level. The Indian drug companies account for over 25% of the total generic drug applications made to the US FDA.

 

Indian pharmaceutical companies are vying for the branded generic drug space to register their global presence and are expected to grow by around 15% in the near future. India is also fast emerging as the global hub for contract research and manufacturing services. As compared to western countries, India offers a huge cost advantage in the clinical trials domain. Factors such as reverse-engineering expertise, abundant investment in research facilities and availability of skilled manpower are likely to help the Indian pharmaceutical industry to be a dominant force in the manufacturing sector.

 


GENERICS - A PERSPECTIVE

 

Generic drugs are important options that allow greater access to health care for all. They are copies of brand-name drugs and are the same as those brand name drugs in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use.

 

Health care professionals and consumers can be assured that FDA approved generic drug products have met the same rigid standards as the innovator drug. All generic drugs approved by FDA have the same high quality, strength, purity and stability as brand-name drugs. And, the generic manufacturing, packaging, and testing sites must pass the same quality standards as those of brand name drugs.

 

World Health Organisation defines a generic drug as a pharmaceutical product, usually intended to be interchangeable with an innovator product that is manufactured without a licence from the innovator company and marketed after the expiry date of the patent or other exclusive rights.

 

Generic drugs are marketed under a non-proprietary or approved name rather than a proprietary or brand name. They are frequently as effective as, but much cheaper than, brand-name drugs. For example, paracetamol is a chemical ingredient found in a number of brand-name painkillers, but is also sold as a generic drug (not under a brand name).

 

Both branded and generic drugs are manufactured by conforming to international standards. Brand name drugs are usually given patent protection for 20 years from the date of submission of the patent. This provides protection for the innovator of such drugs to make good the initial costs incurred by him, viz. research development and marketing expenses to develop the new drug. The innovator of a branded drug does research to discover the new biochemical substances that eventually become new drugs. This research is essential for finding new and better treatment for various diseases.

 

Because of their low price, generic drugs are often the only medicines that the weaker sections of society can access. Indeed, it is argued that competition between drug companies and generic producers has been more effective in reducing the cost of drugs, in particular those used to treat HIV/AIDS. (A brand name is a name given to a drug by the manufacturer. The use of the name is reserved exclusively for its owner.)

 

While manufacturing generic drugs the same active ingredients are used as in the branded products; they work the same way in the patient; they have the same risks and benefits as their brand name counterparts. Also, generic drugs have the same quality, strength, purity and stability as brand name drugs and work in the same amount of time as branded drugs. The generic drugs are less expensive as compared to branded drugs as generic manufacturers do not incur the investment costs of the developer of a new drug. New drugs, often referred to as innovator products, are generally developed under patent protection. The patent protects the investment and the associated expense, viz. research, development, marketing and promotion. When patents are nearing expiration, competing manufacturers usually approach the regulatory authorities to seek product and marketing approval for generic versions. In the process, the consumers get effective drugs at substantially lower costs. The global pharmaceutical market size is estimated to be USD 880 billion and as in the recent past, generics are expected to grow faster. Rapid expansion in emerging markets is likely to more than offset the dampened rise in developed markets where growth tends to remain in single digit following policy and budget reactions to global economic crisis.

 

In the US, generics are expected to outpace the growth of brands, yet they are expected to constitute only 16% of sales in 2020. In 2012, peak of patent expiries will impact developed markets which will prompt huge opportunity for generics in a significant number of therapeutic segments.

 

Key patented products expiring up to 2015 include a few very large runners such as Lipitor, Plavix, Advair Diskus, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Singulair, Actos, Lexapro, Diovan, Oxycontin, Aciphex, Aricept, Nexium, Cymbalta, Celebrex, Copaxone and a few others. While an estimated sales of USD 160 billion is expected to go off-patent in such drugs in the foreseeable future, generics are expected to gain approximately USD 90 billion, including products introduced in the recent past.

 

Generic companies that excel in quality, cost, therapy and technology are likely to do well with such widening opportunities.

 

COMPANY PERSPECTIVE

 

Among the largest vertically integrated pharmaceutical companies in India, Aurobindo has robust product portfolio spread over major product areas encompassing CVS, CNS, anti-retroviral, antibiotics, gastroenterologicals, anti-diabetics and anti-allergic with approved manufacturing facilities by US FDA, UK MHRA, WHO, MCC-SA, ANVISA-Brazil for both APIs and formulations and has global presence with own infrastructure, strategic alliances, subsidiaries and joint ventures.

 

The product portfolio includes over 300 finished dosage formulations and 200 APIs with diversified product portfolio in life-style disease, anti-AIDS, anti-infectives and pain management with pediatric products and technologies.

 

After creating a name for itself in the manufacture of bulk actives and ensuring a firm foundation of cost effective production capabilities ogether with a clutch of loyal customers, the Company entered the high margin specialty generic formulations segment, with a global marketing network. The formulation business is systematically organized with a divisional structure, and has a focused team for each key international market. Subject's business strategy includes gaining volume and market share in every business/segment it enters.

 

Subject has invested significant resources in building a mega infrastructure for APIs and formulation manufacture to emerge as a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company. Subject's six units for APIs and four units for formulations are designed for the regulated markets.

 

Over the years, the Subject has evolved into a knowledge driven company. It is R and D focused, has a multi-product portfolio with multi-country manufacturing facilities, and is becoming a marketing conglomerate across the world.

 

Subject's R and D strengths lie in developing intellectual property in non-infringing processes and resolving complex chemistry challenges. In the process, Subject develops new drug delivery systems, dosage formulations and applies new technology for better processes.

 

The medium term strategy of the Company is to continuously globalize the intellectual property assets and enhance value to shareholders and customers. In global markets, the Company continues to retain and enhance cost efficient quality leadership in its chosen segments, such as newer anti infectives and lifestyle disease drugs. It is the endeavor of the Company to achieve this by resolving complex chemistry challenges, improving process efficiencies, adopting global scale manufacturing and using cost effective market networks throughout its addressable markets. Subject aims to repeat its success and emerge as a major player in regulated markets.

 

The long term growth strategies being put in to action include:

 

·         Develop a broad portfolio of DMFs/ANDAs through noninfringing processes and intellectual properties and become a significant player in the generics market, especially in the regulated markets;

·         Manage cost efficiently in a mega-manufacturing environment approved by USFDA/European regulatory authorities; and in the process, enhance the attractiveness of subject to alliance partners;

·         Resolve complex chemical challenges and offer advanced drugs to the global markets;

·         Globalize and further penetrate through joint ventures/ subsidiaries/organic means into China, Brazil and other Latin American countries; and,

·         Emerge as a leading player in global high quality innovative specialty generic formulations and domestic brand segments.

 

The Company's competitive advantage is in capturing a large portfolio of approvals, backed up by a global standard R and D effort that offers several patented non-infringing processes and intellectual properties, and a cost efficient mega manufacturing environment complying with US FDA and EU authorities. The corporate plans are to ensure growth through organic means, and by adopting strategic joint ventures and alliances. The objective is to maximize the revenues and margins while risks are minimized.

 

The Company has crossed revenues of USD 1 billion in its silver jubilee year and joined the Billion Dollar Club of Indian pharmaceuticals fraternity with its commitment to the customers and quality backed up by stronger business and delivery capabilities.

 

In 2010-2011, the formulation sales climbed up by 30.8% to Rs.24231 million from Rs.18521 million in the previous year. Formulations sales constituted 57.3% of gross sales, an improvement of 6.9% over 2009-2010.

 

The consolidated financials for the year under showed operating income increased by 22.7% to Rs.44809.8 million over Rs.36513.4 million in the previous year. Profit from operations before other income, interest, foreign exchange gain, tax and exceptional item was up 17% to Rs.7882.5 million as compared to Rs.6738.5 million in 2009-2010.

 

Consolidated profit before exceptional item and minority interest was Rs.5734.0 million compared to Rs.5608.9 was 2.2% higher over the previous year. Consolidated Net Profit was Rs.5634.5 million, marginally higher over the profit of Rs.5634.0 million recorded in the previous year. Diluted Earnings per Share for 2010-2011 was Rs.17.61 as against Rs.17.82 (adjusted for split in Face Value) in 2009-2010.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Subject has invested in the future and worked hard to build a large portfolio and sought product approvals in all relevant categories. Necessary approvals are being received at rapid pace, and the Company will continue to keep the momentum and seek such product approvals, and when received shall make suitable marketing arrangements.

 

Contract research and contract manufacturing (CRAMS) are other areas that are being pursued. These are potentially attractive businesses with possible long term relationships. With the technology platform and skilled professionals available both at R and D Centre and in the production facilities, Subject is able to offer products and services that the customers want. Multinational pharmaceutical companies have perceived subject's facilities as extensions of their own labs and manufacturing plants.

 

Subject has a proven and tested business model, a prudent strategy and competent people with expertise to deliver planned results. There is a strong balance sheet that supports the business plan. The professionals in the Company have a defining role in significantly accelerating its growth and transformation, and enhancing its position as one of the most valuable companies.

 

Looking ahead, the Company is determined to create a significant market presence and continue to offer quality products and services. Within subject, there is an excitement driving the change to become a global resource in the pharmaceutical industry. In this journey, as in the past, care is being taken to create value for all stakeholders, and in particular, customers and investors.

PRESS RELEASE

 

AUROBINDO PHARMA ESTABLISHES JOINT VENTURE WITH DIOD (RUSSIA) TO MANUFACTURE AND MARKET GENERIC DRUGS IN RUSSIA

 

Aurobindo Pharma Limited through its investment holding subsidiary (hereinafter referred to as “Aurobindo”) and OJSC DIOD, a Russian manufacturer of ecological healthcare equipment and nutrition supplements through its investment holding subsidiary (hereinafter referred to as “Diod"), announce establishment of a joint venture in Russia on a parity basis (50%:50%). The name of the Joint Venture is Aurospharma Company (hereinafter  referred to as the JV). It is established to manufacture and sell the pharmaceuticals in the markets of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

 

As a part of this cooperation, the JV intends to construct a state of the art plant to manufacture Non Penicillin and Non Cephalosporin Rx generics and other drugs that are categorized as Over The Counter (OTC) products in Russia. To harmonize interests of the JV partners in the Russian market environment, it has been contemplated to transfer 100% interest in the CJSC Olifen (engaged in production of pharmaceutical substances) being held by DIOD to the JV company subject to due diligence. In addition, the JV shall source Penicillins, Cephalosporins and few other therapy products manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma Ltd, India to sell in the markets of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

 

The plant to be built in Russia will focus on production of socially significant medicinal drugs. This project fully complies with the priorities of the Strategy for Development of the Russian Pharmaceutical Industry for the Period through 2020 (Pharma-2020 Strategy) approved by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, since it indeed helps make the Russian public healthcare less dependent on import of finished dosage forms. Once implemented, the project would bring about substantial savings for the program of government procurement of socially significant medicinal drugs and reduction of applicable budgetary expenses. Consequently, this should make modern pharmaceuticals more affordable and accessible to the public at large in the countriesmembers of the Customs Union. A number of Russian public organizations also support the project. It is important to realize that the project will help the government to save considerable budgetary funds since instead of buying expensive original drugs it could buy generics, which are no less efficient, but are much cheaper than the original drugs. More Russian citizens will get access to therapy every year.

 

The plant meeting the GMP standards (using AUROBINDO’s expertise), will be constructed in the Podolsk District (Moscow region). It is expected that the construction will be completed and the plant will attain its rated capacity closer to the end of 2013.

 

Vladimir Tikhonov, Diod CEO, commented: “Diod has made a journey towards this partnership, lasting for many years. We believe that the establishment of the JV should allow us to become an important player at the Russian pharmaceutical market within the target period. Diod intends to enrich this project with its unique long-term experience in selling medicinal drugs and nutrition supplements in the markets of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan and support it with its own distribution network resources and streamlined channels of interfacing with medical organizations.

 

While commenting on the arrangements to establish the JV, Mr. Vishnu Sriram, Associate Vice President of Aurobindo, said, “Establishment of a JV with the Russian Diod company perfectly weds with our international expansion strategy, in accordance with which we establish partnership relations with competent local companies in the target countries. The JV format gives us an opportunity to localize our production in Russia. Using the Russian partner’s marketing vision, we will be able to enter the growing and challenging Russian market with greater confidence and expedite our presence in the market. Aurobindo will enrich the JV with its successful international experience in manufacturing medicinal substances and drugs – the so-called generics*.

DOORS HAVE NOT CLOSED YET ; BUT SOME RECRUITERS HAVE TURNED CAUTIOUS AMID FEARS OF A SLOWDOWN.

 

18 September 2011

Will they, won't they? The big question doing the rounds in the recruitment arena is whether companies will . "Job-seekers are going slow in some places as they fear a return of the 2009 slowdown. Company decisions to recruit are also taking too long," says E. Balaji, Managing Director and CEO of global human resource service provider Ma Foi Randstad.

Most companies do not admit to any cutback in requirements. But few have forgotten the global economic downturn of 2008 which caught many economies and businesses unawares. "While it is too early to say if we will see another recession, governments and businesses have memories.

I believe they are in a better position to take quick and informed decisions this time," says Infosys CEO Kris Gopalakrishnan. Head of human resources, or HR, Nandita Gurjar claims Infosys's recruitment strategy is unaffected: "We are working towards hiring 45,000 people in 2011/12 and focusing on expanding our workforce in the US and other countries where we are present."

Even players in the visibly affected auto sector do not seem to be too worried. "We do not think the current rough phase will last long. In any case, we always take into account temporary blips," says S.Y. Siddiqui, Head of HR and Administration, .

Rising inflation and fuel prices have dented the auto sector in India more than global recessionary trends. Still, Siddiqui claims Maruti hired 350 people from campuses this year, more than in the past three years. The organised sector in India created 704,800 jobs between January and June 2011, says the latest Ma Foi Randstad Employment Trends Survey. An additional 369,200 jobs are expected by September.

"Short-term sentiments are driving the market. There is some panic, though the long-term outlook could be positive," says V. Suresh, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales at job portal naukri.com.

Indeed companies are reporting a complex interplay of trends: there is not much change in attrition rates, which means companies are recruiting. However, Sarada Jagan, Executive Director, HR, at The Sanmar Group, says: "Recruitment agencies are supplying us talent a little more quickly than in the past. This means they are a little less rushed in terms of demand."

Some firms like Tech Mahindra report flagging attrition levels. "We see a minute shift in attrition. We are not cutting back, but have adopted a cautious approach," says HR head L.K. Bhatia. In the healthcare sector, the mood is circumspect. "We do not hesitate to fill up a vacancy, but we are being guarded," says Gopal Tadanki, Associate Vice President, HR, Aurobindo Pharma.

No one is planning lay-offs, but the signs of caution are everywhere. "None have told us they are cutting back but there is a lag in filling up on attritions," says Sangeetha Lala, Vice President, TeamLease, a top HR Services company.

AUROBINDO PHARMA TIES UP WITH RUSSIAN FIRM

 

08 September 2011

Drug maker Aurobindo Pharma Limited has formed an equal partnership with OJSC Diod, a Russian maker of healthcare equipment and nutrition supplements, to manufacture and market generic (or off-patent) drugs, taking advantage of changes in Russia's public healthcare policy that seek to make that country less dependent on imports.

The joint venture, named Aurospharma Co., will construct a plant in the Podolsk district (Moscow region) to manufacture non-penicillin drugs and other medicines that are classified as over the-counter (OTC) products, and "socially significant medicinal drugs" according to a statement released by the company. It will also source penicillin and a few other drugs manufactured in India by Aurobindo Pharma to sell in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan the three markets on which it will focus.

The venture is in line "with our international expansion strategy, in accordance with which we establish partnership with competent local companies in target countries", Vishnu Sriram, associate vice-president of Aurobindo, said in a statement in Hyderabad, where the company is based.

The project follows policy changes approved by Russia to make public healthcare less dependent on drug imports. This will result in cost savings in government procurement of drugs and make medicines more affordable by giving consumers access to generics that are cheaper than patented drugs.

"We believe the establishment of the joint venture should allow us to become an important player in the Russian pharmaceutical market...," said Vladimir Tikhonov, chief executive officer of Diod.

The Russian company will bring to the venture its experience in selling medicines and nutrition supplements in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan with its own distribution network, Tikhonov said in the statement.

When contacted, a spokesman for Aurobindo said the company wasn't disclosing its investment in or the valuation of the joint venture.

"Currently, our presence in Russia is a small but significant one. This joint venture will be a building block for us," the Hyderabad-based company's spokesman Tathagato Roy choudhury said. "This is a good opportunity for us to expand into the Russian market and it is why we went ahead with this investment."

Aurobindo Pharma shares rose '4.40, or 3.31% each, to close at '137.25 on BSE on a day the benchmark index, the Sensex, gained 202.19 points, or 1.2%, to 17,065.

Other Indian generic drug makers such as Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited have also been focusing been focusing on Russia and other former Soviet republics to expand. Dr. Reddy's, in July, bought JB Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Limited's prescription business in Russia and other countries in the region for $34.9 million.

"The Russian market is definitely very significant for all generic companies," said Surajit Pal, an analyst at Mumbai based Elara Capital. "The OTC market is a game of numbers. Right now Aurobindo has only made the tie-up. It will take it a while to have a significant presence as it has to build the plant and then begin production."
