The company also said the reported profit included an exceptional charge of ₹204 crore, comprising acquisition-related costs linked to the proposed Organon acquisition and expenses related to the implementation of India's new labour codes.
Commenting on the results, Managing Director Kirti Ganorkar said, "Our performance during the quarter was driven by strong momentum in India as well as Innovative Medicines, which delivered robust growth across the U.S. and international regions."
He added that recent semaglutide approvals in India, Brazil and South Africa highlight the company's capabilities in developing complex peptide products. Ganorkar also said Organon shareholders have approved the proposed acquisition, which "is on track to close in early 2027," subject to the remaining approvals and conditions.
