Expanding horizons to broaden our impact
Our performance in FY25 reflects the positive outcomes of this
strategy. The Company delivered consistent growth and profitability across key segments,
supported by strong demand in core markets. Our Formulations business delivered broad-
based double-digit growth, with most markets registering strong momentum.
The API business remained stable and improved profitability, continuing
to benefit from the programs under Project Pragati. Overall, our margins continued to
improve across all segments.
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present the results of your Company for FY25. This year
marks a significant acceleration in our performance and a step change in our growth
trajectory. We have begun to realise the benefits of various strategic initiatives as we
move towards building a future ready, global, animal health company.
While geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and uneven growth
across major economies continue to pose risks, the animal health industry remains
relatively resilient, offering opportunities for sustained long term growth. Valued at USD
63.0 billion in 2024, the global animal healthcare market is projected to grow at a robust
CaGr of 9.0 - 10.0 % between 2025 and 2030, propelled by rising expenditure on animal
health. Growth is being driven by increasing pet ownership, rising demand for
animal-derived food products, and greater awareness of zoonotic diseases. Technological
advancements in veterinary care, including the use of biotechnology and artificial
intelligence, are transforming diagnostics and treatment.
Our performance in FY25 reflects the positive outcomes of this
strategy. The Company delivered consistent growth and profitability across key segments,
supported by strong demand in core markets. Our Formulations business delivered
broad-based double-digit growth, with most markets registering strong momentum. The API
business remained stable and improved profitability, continuing to benefit from the
programs under Project Pragati. Overall, our margins improved across all segments.
Our commitment to quality and compliance was further reinforced by
regulatory milestones achieved during the
year. Our API facility in Vizag received a positive Establishment
Inspection Report (EIR) from the USFDA, affirming our capabilities in a high-compliance,
competitive market. We were also granted the Accreditation Certificate of Foreign Animal
Drug Manufacturer in Japan, opening new avenues in one of the most quality-conscious
markets. Additionally, our Mahad factory received WHO approval for supplying Albendazole
API, thus becoming one of the few manufacturing units in the world to secure this
distinction.
We are focused on strengthening our Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) initiatives across all areas of our operations. We are reshaping our
environmental footprint through efficient resource usage, pollution control, and GHG
mitigation. Our plants are increasingly adopting energy-efficient technologies and
circular approaches to water management. In all our operating units we promote a culture
of safety, inclusiveness, and learning. We continue to hold the highest standards of
Governance built on transparency, ethical conduct, and full regulatory compliance.
A significant development during the year was the announcement of our
proposed strategic merger with Viyash Life Sciences Private Limited. This marks an
important step in our long-term journey to build a differentiated global pharmaceuticals
platform with end-to-end capabilities.
We have begun receiving key regulatory approvals and expect to complete
the transaction during the financial year FY 26, subject to securing all statutory
clearances. The merger will further enhance our ability to deliver differentiated products
and services across an integrated pharmaceuticals platform.
I would like to express my gratitude to our employees across all
locations for their unwavering commitment to the company's transformation journey. I am
also grateful to our customers, business partners, and suppliers for their continued
support. I also wish to acknowledge and appreciate my colleagues on the Board of Directors
who have played a crucial role through their guidance and encouragement.
My sincere thanks to all our shareholders for your trust and belief in
the company. We look forward to building on this momentum and creating long-term value for
all our stakeholders, as we embark on the next phase of growth.
Warm regards, |
Dr. Kamal K Sharma |
