  1. The above financial results are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and are in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended).

  2. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority ("NPPA") issued several demand notices to the Company commencing from the year 1998 seeking recovery of alleged overcharge regarding scheduled drugs under the Drugs (Prices Control) Orders-1995 ("DPCO").

In 1999 and 2000, the Company filed writ petitions before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court ("Bombay HC") challenging inclusion of certain drugs under DPCO and challenging the demand notices issued by NPPA demanding payment of alleged overcharged amounts. On 31st August, 2001, by way of its common judgment, the Bombay HC decided the writ petitions in favor of the Company, thereby holding that these drugs do not fall within the purview of DPCO and also quashed the demand notices raised by NPPA. The NPPA appealed the order to the Hon'ble Supreme Court ("SC").

On 1st August, 2003, SC set aside the Bombay HC judgment and remanded the matter to the Bombay HC for being considered afresh by it. Further, the SC stayed recovery of 50% of the alleged overcharged amounts subject to payment of the remaining 50% of the alleged overcharged amounts pending fresh determination by the Bombay HC. Accordingly, in terms of SC's Judgment the Company deposited an amount of ₹ 175.08 Crores with NPPA, representing 50% of the alleged overcharged amounts in respect of demand notices raised till 2003.

Post 2003, the Company continued to receive demands ("Subsequent demands") alleging overcharging. These demands included several duplicate demands. In 2019, the Company applied to the Bombay HC to amend its pleadings to include: (i) subsequent demands (ii) take on record the NPPA/ Government of India's RTI response on unavailability of any records pertinent to and what should have been the basis for inclusion of these drugs under the DPCO (iii) deduction of trade margin of 16% from outstanding demands (as having not accrued to the Company, as manufacturer) basis the Allahabad HC's TC Healthcare judgment (iv) re-calculation of interest from the due date of demand notice and (v) duplication of several demands.

The Bombay HC vide order dated 23rd February, 2024 allowed the amendment conditional upon the Company depositing 50% of the subsequent demands raised. The Company appealed the Bombay HC order in a special leave petition before the SC. On 19th April, 2024, the SC was pleased to issue notice and the matter is pending to be heard further. Without prejudice to the Company's position of no amount being due towards the alleged overcharge (principal) or consequential interest, on 15th July, 2025 the Company has voluntarily deposited with the NPPA an additional amount of ₹ 27.07 Crores towards the principal against certain demand notices.

The Company has reviewed all the notices/communications received which are attributable to the Company and are under litigation. After removing duplications as indicated above, the amount covered by the notices/communications aggregates to ₹ 2,011 Crores with the principal of ₹ 863 Crores and interest of ₹ 1,148 Crores.

The above demand notices do not include certain demand notices, jointly addressed to Okasa Pharma Private Limited or Okasa Limited (related parties and promoter group companies, collectively "Okasa"), and the Company. These pertain to products manufactured by Okasa and marketed by Cipla. The Company responded to these demand notices (amounting to ₹ 9.96 Crores), stating that it is not the manufacturer and therefore not liable. These demand notices are also subject matter under Business Transfer Agreement between Okasa and Cipla's subsidiary which excludes the DPCO liability as part of the business transferred by Okasa to the subsidiary. Further, Okasa has independently challenged these demand notices before the Hon'ble Bombay HC.

The Company has been legally advised that it expects a favourable outcome in respect of these matters and therefore no provision is considered necessary in respect of the aforementioned demand notices received till date including demand notices addressed singly/ jointly w.r.t transactions with Okasa.

  1. The paid-up equity share capital stands increased to ₹ 161.56 Crores (80,77,82,631 equity shares of face value ₹ 2 each) upon allotment of 8,384 equity shares and 2,449 equity shares of ₹ 2 each pursuant to "ESOS 2013-A" and "Cipla ESAR Scheme 2021" respectively during the quarter ended 31st March, 2026.

  2. Effective 21st November, 2025, The Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four Labour Codes collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes'. The Group has assessed the financial implications of these changes which has resulted in increase in gratuity liability arising out of past service cost and increase in leave liability by ₹ 275.91 Crores primarily arising due to change in the definition of "wages" for employees and contract labours. Considering the materiality and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Group has presented such incremental impact under "Exceptional Item" in the consolidated financial results for the quarter ended 31st December, 2025 and year ended 31st March, 2026.

  1. The Company has entered into definitive agreement to acquire 100% stake in Inzpera Heathscience Limited ("Inzpera") for a purchase consideration of ₹110.65 Crores for acquisition of equity shares and non-convertible redeemable preference shares. The transaction has been completed on 4th December, 2025, upon fulfilment of all closing conditions. The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired have been determined and accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 103 'Business Combinations' and total consideration has been allocated based on purchase price allocation carried out by external valuer as under:
Particulars ₹ in Crores

  2. The figures for the quarter ended 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025 are the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the unaudited published figures up to nine months of the relevant financial year.

  3. The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 13th May, 2026 has recommended a final dividend of ₹ 13/- per equity share (face value of ₹ 2 each) for the financial year ended 31st March, 2026. The dividend is subject to approval of the shareholders at the ensuing annual general meeting of the Company.

  4. Operating segment information is presented in a manner consistent with the internal reporting reviewed by the Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. The CODM of the Group is the Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for making strategic decisions.

During the quarter ended 31st March 2026, the Group reassessed its operating segments consequent to a change in the CODM. Based on this reassessment, the Group has determined that it operates as a single operating segment, namely Pharmaceutical and related products. Accordingly, the comparative information for the previous year has been restated, wherever necessary, to reflect the Group as operating under a single reportable segment, in accordance with Ind AS 108 – Operating Segments.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

  1. The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements and has been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group including its associates in accordance with the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring accuracy of records including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of the Statement. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its associates, covered under the Act, are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of the Group, and its associates, and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively, for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial results, that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These financial results have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

  2. In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associates, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

  3. The respective Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies included in the Group and of its associates.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act will always detect a material misstatement, when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error, and are considered material if, individually, or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.

  2. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  3. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

  4. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;

  1. The above financial results are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and are in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended).

  2. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority ("NPPA") issued several demand notices to the Company commencing from the year 1998 seeking recovery of alleged overcharge regarding scheduled drugs under the Drugs (Prices Control) Orders-1995 ("DPCO").

In 1999 and 2000, the Company filed writ petitions before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court ("Bombay HC") challenging inclusion of certain drugs under DPCO and challenging the demand notices issued by NPPA demanding payment of alleged overcharged amounts. On 31st August, 2001, by way of its common judgment, the Bombay HC decided the writ petitions in favor of the Company, thereby holding that these drugs do not fall within the purview of DPCO and also quashed the demand notices raised by NPPA. The NPPA appealed the order to the Hon'ble Supreme Court ("SC").

On 1st August, 2003, SC set aside the Bombay HC judgment and remanded the matter to the Bombay HC for being considered afresh by it. Further, the SC stayed recovery of 50% of the alleged overcharged amounts subject to payment of the remaining 50% of the alleged overcharged amounts pending fresh determination by the Bombay HC. Accordingly, in terms of SC's Judgment the Company deposited an amount of ₹ 175.08 Crores with NPPA, representing 50% of the alleged overcharged amounts in respect of demand notices raised till 2003.

Post 2003, the Company continued to receive demands ("Subsequent demands") alleging overcharging. These demands included several duplicate demands. In 2019, the Company applied to the Bombay HC to amend its pleadings to include: (i) subsequent demands (ii) take on record the NPPA/ Government of India's RTI response on unavailability of any records pertinent to and what should have been the basis for inclusion of these drugs under the DPCO (iii) deduction of trade margin of 16% from outstanding demands (as having not accrued to the Company, as manufacturer) basis the Allahabad HC's TC Healthcare judgment (iv) re-calculation of interest from the due date of demand notice and (v) duplication of several demands.

The Bombay HC vide order dated 23rd February, 2024 allowed the amendment conditional upon the Company depositing 50% of the subsequent demands raised. The Company appealed the Bombay HC order in a special leave petition before the SC. On 19th April, 2024, the SC was pleased to issue notice and the matter is pending to be heard further. Without prejudice to the Company's position of no amount being due towards the alleged overcharge (principal) or consequential interest, on 15th July 2025 the Company has voluntarily deposited with the NPPA an additional amount of ₹ 27.07 Crores towards the principal against certain demand notices.

The Company has reviewed all the notices/communications received which are attributable to the Company and are under litigation. After removing duplications as indicated above, the amount covered by the notices/communications aggregates to ₹ 2,011 Crores with the principal of ₹ 863 Crores and interest of ₹ 1,148 Crores.

The above demand notices do not include certain demand notices, jointly addressed to Okasa Pharma Private Limited or Okasa Limited (related parties and promoter group companies, collectively "Okasa"), and the Company. These pertain to products manufactured by Okasa and marketed by Cipla. The Company responded to these demand notices (amounting to ₹ 9.96 Crores), stating that it is not the manufacturer and therefore not liable. These demand notices are also subject matter under Business Transfer Agreement between Okasa and Cipla's subsidiary which excludes the DPCO liability as part of the business transferred by Okasa to the subsidiary. Further, Okasa has independently challenged these demand notices before the Hon'ble Bombay HC.

The Company has been legally advised that it expects a favourable outcome in respect of these matters and therefore no provision is considered necessary in respect of the aforementioned demand notices received till date including demand notices addressed singly/ jointly w.r.t transactions with Okasa.

  1. The paid-up equity share capital stands increased to ₹ 161.56 Crores (80,77,82,631 equity shares of face value ₹ 2 each) upon allotment of 8,384 equity shares and 2,449 equity shares of ₹ 2 each pursuant to "ESOS 2013-A" and "Cipla ESAR Scheme 2021" respectively during the quarter ended 31st March, 2026.

  2. The figures for the quarter ended 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025 are the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the unaudited published figures up to nine months of the relevant financial year.

  3. Other income for the quarter ended 31st December, 2025 includes ₹ 200.01 Crores, dividend received from a subsidiary company.

  4. Exceptional items for the quarter and year ended 31st March, 2025, represents ₹ 294.66 Crores with respect to reversal of impairment loss recognized in earlier years for the investment in the wholly owned subsidiary, Cipla Pharma and Life Sciences Limited.

  1. Effective 21st November, 2025, The Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four Labour Codes collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes'. The Company has assessed the financial implications of these changes which has resulted in increase in gratuity liability arising out of past service cost and increase in leave liability by ₹ 244.37 Crores primarily arising due to change in definition of "wages" for employees and contract labours. Considering the materiality and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has presented such incremental impact under "Exceptional Item" in the standalone financial results for the quarter ended 31st December, 2025 and year ended 31st March, 2026.

  2. During the quarter and year ended 31st March, 2026, the Company has recorded an impairment of ₹ 31.00 Crores in the financial results in respect of an associate, on account of change in certain business conditions and market dynamics.

  3. The Board in its meeting held on 19th March, 2026, has approved the scheme of amalgamation between Cipla Limited ("Transferee Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary company Inzpera Healthsciences Limited ("Transferor Company"). The Scheme of Amalgamation is subject to necessary approvals required under the Companies Act, 2013, including approval of the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai. The Company is in the process of filing the Scheme with the authorities.

  4. The figures of the previous year/periods have been regrouped/recast to render them comparable with the figures of the current period/year.

  5. The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 13th May, 2026 has recommended a final dividend of ₹ 13/- per equity share (face value of ₹ 2 each) for the financial year ended 31st March, 2026. The dividend is subject to approval of the shareholders at the ensuing annual general meeting of the Company.

  6. The above results have been reviewed and recommended to the Board of Directors by the Audit Committee and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 13th May, 2026. These results have been subjected to audit by statutory auditors who have expressed an unqualified opinion.

  2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:

(i) presents financial results in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations; and

(ii) gives a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act'), read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the standalone net profit after tax and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Basis for Opinion

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement section of our report.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

  1. This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements and has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

  2. In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

  3. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.

  2. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  3. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

  4. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and the operating effectiveness of such controls;

  5. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors;

Independent Auditor's Report on Standalone Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) (contd')

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern; and
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

  • We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Other Matter

  1. The Statement includes the financial results for the quarter ended 31 March 2026, being the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us.
