Background
The Pharmaceutical industry in India is the world's third-largest in terms of
volume. According to Department of Pharmaceuticals of the Indian Ministry of
Chemicals and Fertilizers, the total turnover of India's pharmaceuticals industry
between 2008 and September 2009 was US$21.04 billion. While the domestic
market was worth US$12.26 billion. The industry holds a market share of $14
billion in the United States.
According to India Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian pharmaceutical market is
likely to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14-17 per cent in
between 2012-16. India is now among the top five pharmaceutical emerging
markets of the world.
Exports of pharmaceuticals products from India increased from US$6.23 billion in
2006–07 to US$8.7 billion in 2008–09 a combined annual growth rate of 21.25%.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) in 2010, India joined among the
league of top 10 global pharmaceuticals markets in terms of sales by 2020 with
value reaching US$50 billion.
The government started to encourage the growth of drug manufacturing by Indian
companies in the early 1960s, and with the Patents Act in 1970. However,
economic liberalisation in 90s by the former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
3 | P a g e
and the then Finance Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh enabled the industry to
become what it is today. This patent act removed composition patents from food
and drugs, and though it kept process patents, these were shortened to a period of
five to seven years.
The lack of patent protection made the Indian market undesirable to the
multinational companies that had dominated the market, and while they streamed
out. Indian companies carved a niche in both the Indian and world markets with
their expertise in reverse-engineering new processes for manufacturing drugs at
low costs. Although some of the larger companies have taken baby steps towards
drug innovation, the industry as a whole has been following this business model
until the present.
India's biopharmaceutical industry clocked a 17 percent growth with revenues of
Rs. 137 billion ($3 billion) in the 2009–10 financial year over the previous fiscal.
Bio-pharma was the biggest contributor generating 60 percent of the industry's
growth at Rs. 88.29 billion, followed by bio-services at Rs. 26.39 billion and bio-
agri at Rs. 19.36 billion.
In 2013, there were 4,655 pharmaceutical manufacturing plants in all of India,
employing over 345 thousand workers.

History
The number of purely Indian pharma companies is fairly less. Indian pharma
industry is mainly operated as well as controlled by dominant foreign companies
having subsidiaries in India due to availability of cheap labor in India at lowest
cost. In 2002, over 20,000 registered drug manufacturers in India sold $9 billion
worth of formulations and bulk drugs. 85% of these formulations were sold in
India while over 60% of the bulk drugs were exported, mostly to the United States
and Russia. Most of the players in the market are small-to-medium enterprises; 250
of the largest companies control 70% of the Indian market. Thanks to the 1970
Patent Act, multinationals represent only 35% of the market, down from 70%
thirty years ago.
Most pharmaceutical companies operating in India, even the multinationals,
employ Indians almost exclusively from the lowest ranks to high level
management. Homegrown pharmaceuticals, like many other businesses in India,
are often a mix of public and private enterprise.
In terms of the global market, India currently holds a modest 1–2% share, but it has
been growing at approximately 10% per year. India gained its foothold on the
global scene with its innovatively engineered generic drugs and active
pharmaceutical ingredients (API), and it is now seeking to become a major player
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
5 | P a g e
in outsourced clinical research as well as contract manufacturing and research.
There are 74 US FDA-approved manufacturing facilities in India, more than in any
other country outside the U.S, and in 2005, almost 20% of all Abbreviated New
Drug Applications (ANDA) to the FDA are expected to be filed by Indian
companies. Growth in other fields notwithstanding, generics are still a large part of
the picture. London research company Global Insight estimates that India’s share
of the global generics market will have risen from 4% to 33% by 2007. The Indian
pharmaceutical industry has become the third largest producer in the world and is
poised to grow into an industry of $20 billion in 2015 from the current turnover of
$12 billion.
Patent protection
As it expands its core business, the industry is being forced to adapt its business
model to recent changes in the operating environment. The first and most
significant change was the 1 January 2005 enactment of an amendment to India’s
patent law that reinstated product patents for the first time since 1972. The
legislation took effect on the deadline set by the WTO’s Trade-Related Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement, which mandated patent protection
on both products and processes for a period of 20 years. Under this new law, India
will be forced to recognise not only new patents but also any patents filed after 1
January 1995. Indian companies achieved their status in the domestic market by
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
6 | P a g e
breaking these product patents, and it is estimated that within the next few years,
they will lose $650 million of the local generics market to patent-holders.
In the domestic market, this new patent legislation has resulted in fairly clear
segmentation. The multinationals narrowed their focus onto high-end patients who
make up only 12% of the market, taking advantage of their newly bestowed patent
protection. Meanwhile, Indian firms have chosen to take their existing product
portfolios and target semi-urban and rural populations.
Product development
Indian companies are also starting to adapt their product development processes to
the new environment. For years, firms have made their ways into the global market
by researching generic competitors to patented drugs and following up with
litigation to challenge the patent. This approach remains untouched by the new
patent regime and looks to increase in the future. However, those that can afford it
have set their sights on an even higher goal: new molecule discovery. Although the
initial investment is huge, companies are lured by the promise of hefty profit
margins and has a legitimate competitor in the global industry. Local firms have
slowly been investing more money into their R&D programs or have formed
alliances to tap into these opportunities.

7 | P a g e
Small and medium enterprises
As promising as the future is for a whole, the outlook for small and medium
enterprises (SME) is not as bright. The excise structure changed so that companies
now have to pay a 16% tax on the maximum retail price (MRP) of their products,
as opposed to on the ex-factory price. Consequently, larger companies are cutting
back on outsourcing and what business is left is shifting to companies with
facilities in the four tax-free states – Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir,
Uttaranchal and Jharkhand. Consequently a large number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers shifted their plant to these states, as it became almost impossible to
continue operating in non-tax free zones. But in a matter of a couple of years the
excise duty was revised on two occasions, first it was reduced to 8% and then to
4%. As a result the benefits of shifting to a tax free zone was negated. This resulted
in, factories in the tax free zones, to start up third party manufacturing. Under this
these factories produced goods under the brand names of other parties on job work
basis.
As SMEs wrestled with the tax structure, they were also scrambling to meet the 1
July deadline for compliance with the revised Schedule M Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP). While this should be beneficial to consumers and the industry at
large, SMEs have been finding it difficult to find the funds to upgrade their
manufacturing plants, resulting in the closure of many facilities. Others invested
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
8 | P a g e
the money to bring their facilities to compliance, but these operations were located
in non-tax-free states, making it difficult to compete in the wake of the new excise
tax.
Challenges
Even after the increased investment, market leaders such as Ranbaxy and Dr.
Reddy’s Laboratories spent only 5–10% of their revenues on R&D, lagging behind
Western pharmaceuticals like Pfizer, whose research budget last year was greater
than the combined revenues of the entire Indian pharmaceutical industry. This
disparity is too great to be explained by cost differentials, and it comes when
advances in genomics have made research equipment more expensive than ever.
The drug discovery process is further hindered by a dearth of qualified molecular
biologists. Due to the disconnect between curriculum and industry, pharma in India
also lack the academic collaboration that is crucial to drug development in the
West and so far.
Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
Unlike in other countries, the difference between biotechnology and
pharmaceuticals remains fairly defined in India. Bio-tech there still plays the role
of pharma’s little sister, but many outsiders have high expectations for the future.
India accounted for 2% of the $41 billion global biotech market and in 2003 was
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
9 | P a g e
ranked 3rd in the Asia-Pacific region and 11th in the world in number of biotech.
In 2004-5, the Indian biotech industry saw its revenues grow 37% to $1.1 billion.
The Indian biotech market is dominated by bio pharmaceuticals; 75% of 2004–5
revenues came from bio-pharmaceuticals, which saw 30% growth last year. Of the
revenues from bio-pharmaceuticals, vaccines led the way, comprising 47% of
sales. Biologics and large-molecule drugs tend to be more expensive than small-
molecule drugs, and India hopes to sweep the market in bio-generics and contract
manufacturing as drugs go off patent and Indian companies upgrade their
manufacturing capabilities.
Most companies in the biotech sector are extremely small, with only two firms
breaking 100 million dollars in revenues. At last count there were 265 firms
registered in India, over 75% of which were incorporated in the last five years. The
newness of the companies explains the industry’s high consolidation in both
physical and financial terms. Almost 50% of all biotech are in or around
Bangalore, and the top ten companies capture 47% of the market. The top five
companies were homegrown; Indian firms account for 62% of the bio-pharma
sector and 52% of the industry as a whole.[4,46] The Association of
Biotechnology-Led Enterprises (ABLE) is aiming to grow the industry to $5
billion in revenues generated by 1 million employees by 2009, and data from the
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) seem to suggest that it is possible.

Comparison with the American biotechnology industry
The Indian biotech sector parallels that of the US in many ways. Both are filled
with small start-ups while the majority of the market is controlled by a few
powerful companies. Both are dependent upon government grants and venture
capitalists for funding because neither will be commercially viable for years.
Pharmaceutical companies in both countries have recognised the potential effect
that biotechnology could have on their pipelines and have responded by either
investing in existing start-ups or venturing into the field themselves. In both India
and the US, as well as in much of the globe, biotech is seen as a hot field with a lot
of growth potential.
Biotechnology industry and the IT industry
Many analysts have observed that the hype around the biotech sector mirrors that
of the IT sector. Biotech colleges have been popping up around the country eager
to service the pools of students that want to take advantage of a growing industry.
The International Finance Corporation, the private investment arm of the World
Bank, called India the "centerpiece of IFC’s global biotech strategy." Of the $110
million invested in 14 biotech projects investment globally, the IFC has given $43
million to 4 projects in India. According to Dr. Manju Sharma, former director of
the Department of Biotechnology, the biotech industry could become the "single
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
11 | P a g e
largest sector for employment of skilled human resource in the years to come".
British Prime Minister Tony Blair was similarly impressed, citing the success of
India’s biotech industry as the reason for his own country’s own biotech
opportunities. Malaysia is also looking to India as an example for growing its own
biotech industry.
Government support for biotechnology
The Indian government has been very supportive. It established the Department of
Biotechnology in 1986 under the Ministry of Science and Technology. Since then,
there have been a number of dispensations offered by both the central government
and various states to encourage the growth of the industry. India’s science minister
launched a program that provides tax incentives and grants for biotech start-ups
and firms seeking to expand and establishes the Biotechnology Parks Society of
India to support ten biotech parks by 2010. Previously limited to rodents, animal
testing was expanded to include large animals as part of the minister’s initiative.
States have started to vie with one another for biotech business, and they are
offering such goodies as exemption from VAT and other fees, financial assistance
with patents and subsidies on everything ranging from investment to land to
utilities.
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
12 | P a g e
Foreign investment in biotechnology
The government has also taken steps to encourage foreign investment in its biotech
sector. An initiative passed earlier this year allowed 100% foreign direct
investment without compulsory licensing from the government. In April, a
delegation headed by the Kapil Sibal, the minister of science and technology and
ocean development, visited five cities in the US to encourage investment in India,
with special emphasis on biotech. Just two months later, Sibal returned to the US
to unveil India’s biotech growth strategy at the BIO2005 conference in
Philadelphia.
Challenges in biotechnology
The biotech sector faces some major challenges in its quest for growth. Chief
among them is a lack of funding, particularly for firms that are just starting out.
The most likely sources of funds are government grants and venture capital, which
is a relatively young industry in India. Government grants are difficult to secure,
and due to the expensive and uncertain nature of biotech research, venture
capitalists are reluctant to invest in firms that have not yet developed a
commercially viable product.
The government has addressed the problem of educated but unqualified candidates
in its Draft National Biotech Development Strategy. This plan included a proposal
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
13 | P a g e
to create a National Task Force that will work with the biotech industry to revise
the curriculum for undergraduate and graduate study in life sciences and
biotechnology. The government’s strategy also stated intentions to increase the
number of PhD Fellowships awarded by the Department of Biotechnology to 200
per year. These human resources will be further leveraged with a "Bio-Edu-Grid"
that will knit together the resources of the academic and scientific industrial
communities, much as they are in the US.
India is among the top five emerging pharma markets and has grown at an
estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13 per cent during the period
FY 2009–2013. The Indian pharmaceutical market is poised to grow to US$ 55
billion by 2020 from the 2009 levels of US$ 12.6 billion, according to the report
titled ‘India Pharma 2020’ by McKinsey & Co.
A new cluster of countries is contributing to the growth of the pharma industry,
resulting in a robust jump in exports of drugs. The country’s pharma industry
accounts for about 1.4 per cent of the global pharma industry in value terms and 10
per cent in volume terms. Both domestic and export-led demand contributed
towards the robust performance of the sector.
An increase in insurance coverage, an ageing population, rising income, greater
awareness of personal health and hygiene, easy access to high-quality healthcare

facilities and favourable government initiatives are some of the important factors
expected to drive the pharma industry in India. The Government of India has
unveiled ‘Pharma Vision 2020’ aimed at making India a global leader in end-to-
end drug manufacturing.
Market Size
On improved utilisation of manufacturing facilities, the domestic pharmaceutical
market is likely to see high revenue growth and profit margins. Pharmaceutical
sales in India are expected to grow by 14.4 per cent to US$ 27 billion in 2016 from
US$ 22.6 billion in 2012, according to a report by Deloitte called ‘2014 Global
Life Sciences Outlook’.
India’s pharmaceutical exports stood at US$ 14.84 billion in FY 2013–14. The
United States (US) is the country’s biggest market for pharma exports accounting
for about 25 per cent, followed by the United Kingdom (UK). “India has been able
to make its name as a quality supplier of affordable medicines across the globe. We
are expecting around 12 per cent growth this fiscal (2014–15),” said Mr P V
Appaji, Executive Director, Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council of India
(Pharmexcil).
Pharma exports from India will be more than the size of the domestic sales by FY
2015, according to a report by India Ratings & Research. The country provides

generic medicines to almost 200 countries. It is responsible for about 40 per cent of
the generic and over-the-counter drugs consumed in the US. Indian generics
market is expected to grow to US$ 26.1 billion by 2016 from US$ 11.3 billion in
2011.
Investments
The allowance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in India’s pharma sector was
well received by foreign investors. The cumulative drugs and pharmaceuticals
sector attracted FDI worth US$ 11,588.42 million in the period April 2000–
February 2014, according to data published by Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion (DIPP). Some of the major investments and developments in the Indian
pharmaceutical sector include the following:
Ashland Speciality Ingredients has opened a centre of excellence (CoE)
focused on pharmaceuticals in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. The expertise
offered here would be predominantly in oral solid dosage form and a range
of technical services for drug companies.
Sun Pharma has agreed to buy out Ranbaxy for US$ 4 billion. The landmark
deal makes the combined Sun–Ranbaxy entity the fifth largest generic drug-
maker in the world, with estimated revenues of US$ 4.2 billion for the year
ended December 31, 2013.

according to IMS Health.
Strand Lifesciences has received a US patent for virtual liver, which would
aid the pharmaceutical industry in understanding liver-related issues better.
A virtual liver would help in predicting and assessing hepatotoxicity of
novel drug compounds in pre-clinical studies.
Jubilant Life Sciences has received a nod from the USFDA to market a
generic diuretic medicine. The drug is used to treat fluid retention in the
body caused by conditions such as congestive heart failure and cirrhosis of
the liver.
ChrysCapital has invested around US$ 40 million in Torrent Pharma,
expanding its portfolio of healthcare companies and taking up the total
exposure in the sector to nearly US$ 300 million.
Government Initiatives
As per extant policy, FDI up to 100 per cent, under the automatic route, is
permitted in the pharmaceuticals sector for Greenfield investment. Hundred per

17 | P a g e
cent FDI is also permitted for investments in existing companies under the
government approval route. Further, the Government of India has also put in place
mechanisms such as the Drug Price Control Order and the National Pharmaceutical
Pricing Authority to address the issue of affordability and availability of
medicines.
The government plans to create a special entity in partnership with private firms
for a 'Brand India Pharma' campaign with the objective of improving the image of
drug exporters. The special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be in operation in the next
few weeks, said Mr Rajeev Kher, Commerce Secretary, Government of India.
The Andhra Pradesh government has announced a new life sciences policy for the
state at the 11th edition of BioAsia 2014 in Hyderabad. According to the new
policy, the state will provide subsidies in power, water and provide land for setting
up of new life science industries in the state. The state government is planning to
attract an investment of Rs 20,000 crore (US$ 3.33 billion) by encouraging more
industries in the segment.
In a move to simplify the barcode procedures for pharmaceutical companies and to
ensure quality, the Government of India has decided to treat mono cartons
containing medicines as primary level packaging, as per the Directorate General of

Road Ahead
India Ratings and Research has revised its outlook on the pharmaceuticals sector
for FY 2014–15 to positive from stable on the back of increased exports. With the
support of Pharmexcil and the government in the form of Brand India Pharma
project iPHEX, the sector would continue to grow and meet the healthcare
requirements of the developing world. The country will also see the largest number
of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector,
according to consulting firm Grant Thornton. With 70 per cent of India’s
population residing in rural areas, pharma companies have immense opportunities
to tap this market. Demand for generic medicines in rural markets has seen a sharp
growth. The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapeutics market value in the
Asia–Pacific region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3 per cent to touch US$
2.9 billion by 2019 from US$ 1.8 billion in 2012, according to GBI Research. An
aging population and increasing number of NSCLC incident cases will be the main
drivers behind this anticipated growth in India.

BUSINESS AREAS
Manufacturing
We operate nine manufacturing facilities including eight in India and one in the
United States. Five of our facilities are approved by USFDA. We manufacture a
wide range of pharmaceutical products for Domestic Market and international
markets as well as APIs predominantly for use in manufacturing of pharmaceutical
products, which has allowed us to benefit from vertical integration, allowing us to
source quality APIs in a cost effective and timely manner.
We believe that quality, compliance and the environment, health and safety of our
manufacturing facilities are of paramount importance to our manufacturing
operations. Our environment, health and safety initiatives help us to ensure the
safety of the manufactured products, our employees and the environment. For
example, we have created facilities to handle products with special needs such as
facility using isolator technology for high potency products, temperature and
humidity controlled environments.
Our state-of-the-art facilities implement international cGMP to produce quality
products. Our facilities comply with international cGMP as required by the various
regulatory bodies that have accredited us including those in India, the USFDA, the
UK-MHRA, ANVISA Brazil and MHLW Japan.
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

We are capable of manufacturing a wide range of dosage forms including oral
solids, oral liquids, soft gelatin capsules and injectables. We have also
demonstrated our ability to handle complex manufacturing processes, such as
lyophilization and complete isolation technology to manufacture cytotoxic
products. We also handle products that require a specialized environment with,
among other things, controlled release pharmaceutical products, controlled
humidity and temperature conditions
Solid Orals
We currently produce several billions of tablets annually at our facilities located in
Hinjewadi, Jammu and East Brunswick, New Jersey. We are also able to produce a
wide range of pharmaceutical products including dissolvable and chewable tablets
and hard and soft-shelled capsules with a focus on controlled release. We have the
ability to develop taste masking tablets as well, such as anti-allergic and iron
tablets with no metallic aftertaste to ensure better patient compliance. Other novel
drug delivery systems that we build into solid orals include sublingual and oral
disintegration technology. Hot melt technology is currently being applied to
antiretrovirals such as Ritonovir to make it heat resistant. Some of our products
also include tablet in tablet / bi-layer tablet technologies to pair multiple
pharmaceutical products.

In-licensing, Intellectual Property License Rights and Other Partnerships
We have partnered with several multi-national corporations to market their
products in India. The collaboration enables these corporations to leverage our
strength in sales and marketing to expand their presence in India and on the other
hand, allows us to expand and offer a larger portfolio of products. Recently, we
have entered into the following in-licensing arrangements, intellectual property
license rights or other partnership rights:
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
50 | P a g e
Roche : We have an co-marketing arrangement with Roche for three of its
key innovative biologial products within India - Peg-interferon alfa – 2A
40KD (Taspiance), Trastuzumab (Biceltis) and Rituximab (Ikgdar). Within
this arrangement we are marketing these products under separate Roche
trademarks in India
Under an existing memorandum of understanding, we will also enter into
loan-license agreements with Roche (India). under which we will initially
label and pack and later fill-finish Trastuzumab and Rituximab to be
marketed by both, Roche and us under separate Roche trademarks, for
Indian market.
Sanofi : Through our Subsidiary, we have an agreement to exclusively
market Sanofi – Pasteur’s Verorab® (Rabies Vaccine) in India. We also
have a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Sanofi India for their anti-
diabetic product “Daonil” for India and Nepal.
Novartis : We have entered into a co-marketing agreement with Novartis

commercialize our own iron complex (ferric carboxymaltose) product in
India.
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

been granted a non-exclusive license to manufacture and commercialize
rilpivirine in 112 countries including India.
BMS : We have been granted a royalty free exclusive license to market
Atazanavir in India.
Regulated Markets
We commenced our sales and marketing operations in the United States through
our acquisition of Heritage in April 2011. Heritage, our wholly owned Subsidiary,
is a New Jersey-based generic pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition,
licensing, development, sale and marketing of generic prescription products in the
United States.
Under the Heritage label, we focus our sales primarily on the retail market, which
includes national drug wholesalers, distributors, cooperatives and chain
pharmacies. We also promote the sales efforts of wholesalers and drug distributors
that sell Heritage’s products to clinics, governmental agencies and other managed
health care organizations.
We have relationships with some of the leading multi-national pharmaceutical
companies in the world such as Pfizer, BMS, Teva and Mylan, for whom we
currently manufacture products for Regulated Markets. While we will continue to
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
52 | P a g e
focus on building our sales, focusing on products with high entry barriers and
limited competition, and build on our existing relationships.
Pfizer : We have a manufacturing and supply agreement for different oral
solid products for the United States market. We have also out-licensed an
Injectable product for the North American market.

logistics and supply chain management.

53 | P a g e
Rest of World
We sell and market our products in over 65 countries in the Rest of World,
targeting Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Latin America, the
Middle East, and South East Asia. Many of these markets have similar
characteristics to the Indian pharmaceutical market, such as rising income levels,
improving healthcare infrastructure, self-pay healthcare systems and less stringent
regulations than the Regulated Markets, all of which we believe creates a favorable
market environment for selling pharmaceutical products (branded generics).
We cater to the Rest of World through our differentiated portfolio (including chiral
molecules and biosimilars) of pharmaceutical products (branded generics) focused
on oncology, cardiology, nephrology, blood related, antiretrovirals and
gynecology. We continue to file product registrations to further penetrate the Rest
of World.
We sell and market our products through important alliances with local partners
and multi-national pharmaceutical companies and, increasingly, through our own
in-house sales efforts in select markets. We expect to continue to expand our in-
house sales and marketing efforts in select geographies. In some of these markets,
we also enter into technology transfer agreements on either profit sharing or
royalty based models whereby our partners import APIs from us and locally
manufacture (under our manufacturing process) the pharmaceutical product.
