Chairman’s Letter
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 13
Dear Shareholders,
At Lupin, our unwavering focus has been on providing the best to the communities that we serve. This belief is reflected in our delivery of high quality healthcare offerings that enhance patient outcomes, and in our efforts to uplift communities through our social initiatives and beyond the pill programs. Driven by our commitment to business excellence and innovation, our goal is to be a trusted partner for quality medicines, transforming Hope into Healing.
This has been a pivotal year for Lupin. We have witnessed remarkable success, strategic progress, and significant advancement in our journey. While this has been the year of execution, we are confident of our plans and strategies to strengthen our position and drive sustainable growth.
Our Performance and Shareholder Returns
I am very pleased to share that FY24 stands out as a stellar year for us in terms of both financial performance and growth. We continued to improve our operating margins and maintained growth momentum over the year. Our key regions, the U.S., India, EMEA, and APAC, have been the driving force behind our significant revenue growth. Overcoming multiple headwinds, we have consistently enhanced our operating margins, a testament to our strategic strength and agility.
In India, we achieved a growth of 25% higher than the Indian Pharma Market. Our core therapy areas, including Cardiology and Respiratory, have grown well ahead of the market, with our key products supporting the growth. We also ranked #1 in the industry for new introductions. Backed by a larger workforce and a pipeline of new products, we are deeply committed to further strengthen our position in India.
Our U.S. business performed exceptionally well, contributing to half of the company’s growth, backed by the launch of Tiotropium DPI, base business stabilization and multiple product launches in the generics market. With the continued ramp up of Tiotropium and new product launches in FY25, we expect to sustain and grow our U.S. business.
All other major regions recorded double-digit growth, driven by markets such as Germany, Australia, and the Philippines. Our acquisitions have expanded our footprint in Europe with complex injectables in France and respiratory brands in Europe and Canada. Our API Plus devision had a remarkable year, growing by 21%, backed by key product launches.
Prioritizing Quality and Compliance
We have made strong strides in Quality and Compliance, with positive inspection outcomes, resolution of warning letters, and regulatory clearances. We continue to prioritize sustainable compliance across all our manufacturing units, further reinforcing our position as a trusted partner delivering high-quality medicines.
Way Forward: Building a solid pipeline
We have remained steadfast in our commitment to R&D and innovation, which will continue to be a strategic priority, with significant investments directed toward developing complex products in the inhalation and injectables space. Our robust new product pipeline, including several first-to-market products, puts us in a position of strength for future growth.
In our quest to transform the lives of patients globally, we remain firm in our focus on patient-centricity and the community, with innovation, collaboration and sustainability being at the core of our culture.
Commitment to our Founder’s Legacy of Sustainability
Inspired by our Founder, Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta, we prioritize responsible leadership. We embarked on our ESG journey four years ago, and 2024 has been a milestone year in this continuum. Our leap in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index with a score of 69 and inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook is a reaffirmation of our commitment to ESG.
I thank our Board for its strategic leadership, our leadership team for their relentless pursuit of excellence, and every member of the Lupin family whose efforts contribute to our success. With the support of our partners and shareholders, we continue to strive to achieve our goals of enhancing patient outcomes and transforming Hope into Healing.
Warm Regards,
Manju Deshbandhu Gupta

CEO & MD’s Letter
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 15
Dear Shareholders,
Through the years, two aspects of our business have remained unchanged: our goal of enabling better health for communities that we serve across the globe and our commitment to providing access to high quality, affordable medicines. FY24 has been a year of significant achievements – Lupin has gone above and beyond in delivering on both these aspects and more. For patients and the communities that we serve globally, Lupin is a catalyst for good health, Transforming Hope into Healing.
segment currently generates roughly a quarter of our global sales, and is now a material differentiator for our company, one of the main pillars of our strategy. Our U.S. business contributed significantly to the performance in the year, with products such as Tiotropium, Albuterol, GaviLyte, and Suprep driving a material part of the revenues. Complex generics in the U.S. now constitute around 40% of our sales. In India, we grew 25% faster than the Indian Pharmaceutical Market, with notable performance in the Cardiology and Respiratory therapy areas. Our growth in our internal portfolio of products has been commendable. Going forward, we are committed to also improving our performance in the diabetes segment, which has witnessed degrowth due to multiple factors, including loss of exclusivity in select brands and reduced margins. Overall, we aim to achieve an organic growth of 30% higher than the market. We are proud to be a partner of choice in India, ensuring we get the best in class solutions to our patients through our strong and diverse portfolio.
Our EMEA performance has been robust, with overall sales exceeding USD 200 Mn for the first time. Canada grew 17%, and Australia surpassed the AUD 100 Mn mark in revenues. Our businesses in South Africa and the Philippines achieved solid growth and have strong projections for the coming fiscal year, and our API Plus division saw a 21% increase in sales compared to FY23.
Performance and Growth
We are very pleased to close FY24 on a strong note, continuing to improve our operating margins and maintaining the growth momentum. We made progress each quarter throughout FY24 on all key fronts. Our multi-pronged growth strategy has pivoted around enriching our portfolio to more complex products, commercial excellence, driving our agenda in quality and manufacturing, and delivering efficiencies across our business, thus laying the foundation for future margin expansion and sustainable growth. Over the last 2 years, we have navigated Lupin through a turnaround, executing on all critical imperatives to get our organization to its rightful position to deliver on our promise of sustained and profitable growth.
On a full year basis, our top line grew 20.8% to INR 196,563 Mn, and our EBITDA grew a strong 110% driven by continued growth in North America, India, and EMEA. We are at an inflection point, and with the plans we have in front of us, we are looking at an exciting journey ahead.
Growth Levers
Reflecting on the highlights from FY24, we made substantial progress in our evolution to complex generics, a major step forward with gSpiriva (tiotropium), now commercialized in the U.S. and Canada. The Respiratory
R&D Yields Robust Results
On the R&D front, we have continued to pivot to more complex products, especially inhalation and complex injectables where we have invested close to 50% of our R&D spend during the year. We intend to maintain our lead on the respiratory front by being the first to bring products on key platforms to developed markets. Complex products today constitute around 40% of our U.S. portfolio, which we expect to grow to above 50% in the next few years. In FY24, more than 80% of the new product sales in the U.S. were from non oral-solid products.
Our robust R&D efforts have resulted in 33 filings, 63 approvals, and 41 launches globally. Key product launches such as Tiotropium, Diazepam Rectal Gel and generic Prolensa in the U.S., Vilfuro-G and Difizma in India and complex product filings, including Risperidone Long Acting Injection, highlight our commitment to delivering innovative and much needed solutions to our patients.
Focus on Quality and Compliance
Enhancing our position in quality and compliance has been and continues to be a big part of our focus. While we faced regulatory challenges at certain facilities in the last few years, we have made impressive strides on the quality and compliance front successfully. We addressed
16 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
the warning letter from the U.S. FDA with regard to our facilities in Pithampur and Goa. We are glad to share that all our facility inspections in the last 18 months have resulted in satisfactory outcomes. Going forward, we aim to achieve regulatory clearance for the two pending sites and attain a sustainable state of compliance across our entire manufacturing network. We aspire to be best in class on the quality and compliance front, a trusted partner for high quality medicines for all the patients and communities we serve.
Expansion of Footprint and Portfolio
In FY24, we acquired Medisol in France, expanding our complex injectables portfolio in Europe. Further, we strengthened our respiratory portfolio and Specialty business by acquiring two brands from Sanofi, Nalcrom in Europe and Aarane in Canada. We also strengthened our India portfolio through the strategic acquisition of diabetes brands Ondero and Ondero Met from Boehringer Ingelheim, and the acquisition of five brands from Menarini.
Driving Innovation in Healthcare
Going beyond the pill, we have delivered better patient outcomes and holistic healthcare by addressing unmet needs and leveraging innovation in healthcare. Lupin Diagnostics has gained momentum with the highest percentage of NABL-accredited laboratories amongst peers in India and serves over 100,000 customers on a monthly basis. Our digital therapeutics platform, Lyfe, is gradually expanding its footprint in India, and Atharv Ability, our neuro-rehabilitation center in Mumbai, addresses a significant void to deliver transformative outcomes for patients.
Sustainability and ESG are at the Heart of our Business
We are guided by our Environmental, Social, and Governance principles, which form the cornerstone of our commitment to sustainability. We are proud to be in the top 5% of companies globally with a Corporate Sustainability Assessment score of 69, as per the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Our inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2024 showcases our dedication

to integrating sustainability into our business operations, transforming Hope into Healing for a lasting impact.

CFO’s Letter
Dear Shareholders,
FY24 marked a year of resurgence and transformation for Lupin, characterized by recordbreaking sales and a significant turnaround in our financial performance. We are proud to report record-breaking sales, surpassing our previous peak in FY17 and achieving a robust double-digit growth rate exceeding 20%. This achievement is attributable to our strategic focus on complex generics, particularly in inhalation and complex injectables, which now constitute 40% of our U.S. portfolio. The buoyancy on the top line was further aided by the continued focus on operational efficiencies, resulting in rather positive outcomes.
Further, our bottom line performance has seen extraordinary progress, with profits soaring more than fourfold compared to the previous year. This impressive improvement can be attributed to a better product mix, reduced reliance on in-licensed products, increased volumes, and improved gross margins facilitated by higher inventory levels aimed at risk mitigation measures. We consistently accelerated our quarterly performance, culminating in a strong double-digit EBITDA, positioning us favorably as we move forward.

purchases well, while our R&D team has helped us implement various initiatives to enable cost optimization for our existing products. This has served as a catalyst to improving our margins and securing additional business by making us more competitive.
Driving Complex Generics
Our strategic focus on complex generics has been a key driver of our success. Building on our historical strength in the oral solids platform, we have diversified our portfolio to include a wide range of complex generics. This shift, initiated as part of our R&D strategy five years ago, has begun to yield significant results. Our North America business had phenomenal growth, with sales increasing by 33.8% to INR 72,462 Mn from INR 54,173 Mn last year. This growth was primarily driven by our U.S. business, which registered sales of USD 815 Mn. Complex generics accounted for around 40% of these sales, and our inhalation portfolio doubled over the previous year. Key products such as Tiotropium, Darunavir, and Suprep showcased strong performance, contributing significantly to our revenue.
In India, our regional formulation businesses delivered a reported growth of 8.7% as against market growth of 7.6%, which is higher by 15%. Our respiratory business grew by 7.9%, well ahead of the market growth of 2.7%. The launch of Vilfuro-G, the world’s first fixed triple-dose combination for COPD, is proof of our commitment to innovation in complex generics. Overall, our India Formulation business grew by 9.6% to INR 66,564 Mn in FY24 from INR 60,759 Mn in FY23.
Our EMEA region also performed strongly, with sales growing by 24% to INR 19,235 Mn from INR 15,514 Mn, despite a 7% currency erosion in South Africa. Key drivers included our complex generics portfolio and strong performances in Germany and the UK. Complex generics accounted for over 25% of our sales in the EMEA region.
In the APAC region, Australia recorded its highest-ever sales, and the Philippines business grew by 35% to PHP 2.6 Bn from PHP 1.9 Bn last year. Although the LATAM region experienced a slight decline, with overall sales down by 7.8%, the opening of our plant in Mexico and stabilization in Brazil indicate positive future prospects.
Continuous Improvement on Cost
Our continuous improvements to achieve cost optimization with focus on reducing inefficiencies have driven profitability. Improved gross margins, which went up to 66% from 58% last year, were the primary drivers for EBITDA growth. Our procurement team has effectively engaged and negotiated deals and timed strategic
We also optimized our supply chain-related costs through better planning with Integrated Business Planning and the Kinaxis platform. Along with a singular focus on green energy and automation, this effort has significantly reduced our overall utility costs and inventory inefficiencies. Additionally, digitizing our returns payment processing and close tracking of distributors’ inventory helped prevent leakages and optimize sales returns. Overall, all these strategies have resulted in continuous improvement in yields, development of alternate vendors, and operating with a lean workforce, significantly boosting our bottom line.
Investing in the Future
Investing in R&D and strategic acquisitions remains crucial to sustain our growth trajectory. Aligned to this, our R&D investment has significantly increased to over INR 15,265 Mn from INR 12,800 Mn last year. The FDA’s approval of our Nagpur injectable facility denotes a significant milestone, enhancing our capabilities in complex generics and biosimilars.
Our acquisition of Medisol in France has strategically strengthened our presence as the second-largest injectable market in Europe, adding to our complex generics portfolio through its injectable products. The acquisitions of Ondero and Menarini complement our existing offerings in cardiac, gastro, and anti-infective therapies.
Our focus on R&D has led to the launch of various new products in our India Region Formulations, many of which have been well received by the market. Lupin India NPLs recorded the highest sales in the industry in FY24.
Sharpening Resource Allocation
Efficient resource allocation and robust governance have been key pillars in our growth journey. Our capital allocation policy is deeply rooted in the company’s longterm strategy, rigorously converting strategic priorities into resource planning and budgeting guidelines. This disciplined approach ensures a balanced capital allocation, considering growth, risk, and returns across various business segments. We optimize capital by tracking business evolution using predetermined metrics. Our policy incorporates clearly defined financial metrics to evaluate capital allocation for both organic and inorganic initiatives, including profitability and payback benchmarks.
We identified prime levers in our balance sheet, optimizing working capital and reducing overall borrowing. By improving receivables, payables, and inventory management, we liberated cash of over INR 11,513 Mn and reduced gross borrowing from over INR 42,441 Mn to less than INR 26,699 Mn.
20 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
We also focused on optimizing our capital work in progress, which has reduced from INR 12,380 Mn in the last year to INR 7,725 Mn in the current year through concerted efforts to minimize the productivity of spent funds, the lowest in many years. This helped improve our financial efficiencies and enabled us to leverage our existing assets for future growth.
Our commitment to process improvement is unwavering. By leveraging analytics and automation, we have enhanced productivity across the organization, ensuring that we extract maximum value from our investments and operations.
Tax Transparency and Governance
At Lupin, we prioritize compliance and transparency in taxation. Our annual Tax Transparency Report, introduced in FY23, highlights our responsible tax compliance, integrity, and commitment to ethical practices. This has contributed to improving our Dow Jones Sustainability Indices score and underscores our dedication to making a positive societal impact.
We have continued to digitize our tax related information, resulting in speed and agility in responding to queries from tax authorities and providing relevant supporting documents efficiently. We also ensured comprehensive assessments of all tax related compliance during acquisitions and the restructuring of entities to avoid future litigations.
ESG Commitment
Sustainability is at the heart of our business strategy. We have made significant progress in various aspects of ESG, from environmental stewardship to human rights
and patient-centric innovation. We invested INR 776 Mn in green and renewable energy projects, reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 20% year-on-year. Water recycling and conservation initiatives resulted in 44% of withdrawn water being recycled in FY24.
Focus on Human Capital
Our focus on the development of our employees and thrust on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has resulted in greater employee satisfaction across the organization. Programs such as GROW (Get Ready for Opportunities at Work) and ASCENT (Advanced Studies for Capabilities Enhancement) to upgrade the knowledge and skills of our manufacturing executives/managers have been moot points in enhancing efficiencies. Initiatives such as iMpact and Returnity (a program for returning parents) ensure an inclusive work environment.
Our Social Initiatives
Our social initiatives, such as the Lives and Livelihoods programs, were able to benefit over 1.57 Mn people in more than 4,771 villages across 24 districts in eight states in India. We are proud to share that two women beneficiaries from our programs were recognized at an international conference in Amsterdam.
Our patient-centric programs demonstrate our commitment to improving patient outcomes through accessibility and affordability; for instance, patients have better access to our anti-retro viral and anti-TB medications. We augmented production capabilities at our Aurangabad facility, resulting in a 40% increase in specialized anti-TB medication production. Our patient reach programs, such as Lungs On Care and FENO, have helped thousands of patients.

We also understand that good governance is at the core of a responsible organization. Our Pledge program and governance policies help our employees and value chain partners adhere to the highest standards in business ethics. This year, we conducted an extended survey for Double Materiality to guide our internal risk review, with a good response from external stakeholders, resonating with our internal direction. To de-risk our value chain, we conducted an ESG assessment for 309 of our top tier 1 suppliers in raw material and packaging, providing opportunities for improvement.
Digital Transformation and Innovation
Our strategic embrace of digital transformation and Gen AI exemplifies our commitment to innovation. Our digital journey focuses on integrating advanced technologies - from automating supply chain processes to leveraging big data analytics for better decision making; digital solutions enable us to streamline operations and reduce our environmental footprint. This transformation extends to our R&D division, where digital tools accelerate drug discovery and development, helping us bring effective treatments to market faster.
Gen AI is at the heart of our innovation strategy. By harnessing the power of AI, we can analyze vast amounts of data. Our initiatives are designed with a strong ethical foundation, ensuring data privacy and security while promoting transparency and accountability. Our digital and AI-driven initiatives align closely with our ESG goals. Digital tools facilitate better stakeholder engagement, fostering trust and collaboration with our communities, partners, and regulators. We are dedicated to leveraging digital transformation and Gen AI to build a more sustainable, efficient, and patient-centric future.
We understand the critical need for a sophisticated risk management approach to successfully navigate regulatory shifts, emerging delivery methods, and the rapid pace of data driven innovation. In an environment marked by uncertainty, our ability to adapt to evolving expectations is paramount. Our robust risk management framework, overseen by the Board Committee, provides a cohesive and strategic response to risk mitigation across all our operations, fortifying our resilience and agility in a dynamic landscape.
paramount. Our cybersecurity strategy is integral to our risk management framework, employing advanced measures to safeguard sensitive data and ensure operational resilience. This proactive stance on cybersecurity underpins our commitment to maintaining the trust of our stakeholders and securing our digital transformation efforts.
Looking Ahead
As we move to FY25, we remain committed to transforming Hope into Healing. Our strategic investments in R&D, recent acquisitions, capex investments, technological advancements, and process improvements will continue to drive innovation and growth. We aim to introduce new products that bring affordable healthcare solutions to patients while creating value for our shareholders.
The turnaround in FY24 was a result of our focused approach and foreseeing the needs of a constantly evolving world. The strategy of moving toward complex molecules, which was initiated more than five years ago, is now yielding significant benefits. The pandemic taught us the significance of agility and robust supply chain processes, which have made a substantial difference to our operations. We have also refined our approach to asset utilization, ensuring that people, processes, and systems work harmoniously to maximize efficiency and shareholder value.
Resilience and flexibility are crucial for success, and we continue to adapt quickly to emerging trends and ensure that we provide excellent healthcare solutions through our innovative medicines and services.
Our customers, partners, shareholders, and communities have been essential to our journey, and we remain committed to serving them with integrity and excellence. As we move forward, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain steadfast in our mission to bring innovative healthcare solutions to patients worldwide.
Sincerely,
Ramesh Swaminathan

Patient-Centric Sustainability Approach
We aspire to deliver the best to our patients, and we understand that ESG is a vital lever to achieve that. Hence, we have taken immense care to integrate sustainability into the very fabric of our Hope strategy.

We understand the power of collaboration and actively engage with suppliers, partners, and stakeholders to ensure our environmental and social objectives are shared in pursuance of our ESG goals.
As we move ahead in our ESG journey, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. Our vision is to lead by example, demonstrating that sustainable business practices are not only possible but essential for long-term success and the well-being of our planet and people.

The pandemic has brought in its wake, profound changes in the way the global pharma industry operates. The focus is on securing local pharma supplies while retaining the alignment towards accessibility and affordability. At the same time, a nationalistic fervor and a more patientcentric approach are also discernable.
Global medicine consumption is projected to surge, with an estimated 3.8 trillion daily doses by 2028, with varying growth rates across different regions. Specialty medications are poised to dominate global spending, exceeding 40% over the next four years (Source: Deloitte Report), with developed markets leading the charge. Key therapeutic areas such as oncology, immunology, diabetes, and obesity are set to drive substantial growth,
fueled by ongoing innovation and patent expirations. Oncology, in particular, is anticipated to expand at a robust 14-17% through 2028.
Due to an unprecedented strain on healthcare infrastructures globally, the price and accessibility of generics have become critical. This has led to a renewed emphasis on efficiency, process innovation, and cost savings. There is a further shift towards biosimilars and a move up the value chain through complex generics and building specialty pipelines, all of which are expected to lead to sustainable business streams and maximization of long-term profit margins. To achieve this, digital transformation has emerged as a key strategy, with Gen AI and other AI technologies driving innovation.

Indian pharmaceutical companies have displayed mixed reactions to the changing economic environment. Fully integrated companies with global business models have benefited from tailwinds, while others are grappling with various challenges. These include intellectual property issues, regulatory compliance hurdles, governmentimposed pricing pressures, rising raw material costs, and supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical conditions. In the U.S., despite a relatively more benign pricing environment, competitive intensity remains very high with reduced pricing leverage for manufacturers of generics, impacting profitability.
The pharmaceutical industry today is at the crossroads of transformation and challenge, driven by technological advancements, shifting global dynamics, and evolving market pressures. Navigating these complexities calls for agility and innovation to capitalize on growth opportunities while mitigating risks in an increasingly interconnected global landscape.
Focus on High-value Specialty Generics
Specialty drugs used to treat rare and chronic diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis are driving the demand for more affordable generic versions. This segment is expected to grow at a 12.1% CAGR (Source: KPMG Report) through 2024.
Partnerships for Biosimilars
The biosimilars market is anticipated to expand at a 12.5% CAGR (Source: IQVIA Report), offering a less expensive alternative to off-patent drugs. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly partnering with Contract Research Development Manufacturing Organizations to expedite time to market.
AI and Digital Transformation
GenAI, other AI technologies, and digital transformation tools are poised to enhance efficiencies and drive process innovation across the life sciences value chain. A significant portion of the value from AI in life sciences is expected to come from R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and commercial areas.
Regulators’ Focus on Patient-Reported Outcomes
The U.S. FDA is increasingly interested in understanding patients’ health status through patient-reported outcome measures, prompting pharma companies to include these measures in their assessments.
Furthering Commitment to ESG
Pharmaceutical companies are setting ambitious netzero targets, prioritizing improvements in global health infrastructure, and fostering workforce diversity. Future efforts will integrate AI and blockchain for sustainability and transparency, driven by stricter regulations and investor demands.
Supply Chain Redesign
The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the pharmaceutical supply chains, prompting manufacturers to diversify sources and explore additional revenue through forward-backward integration.
Geopolitical uncertainties continue to cast shadows over the global economic landscape, posing potential risks. In the U.S., the proposed Biosecure Act has potential significant implications for companies sourcing products from China, especially for the U.S. market. The ongoing Middle East conflict has exacerbated supply routes, mainly from the Red Sea, leading to an increase in freight costs as well as higher inventory costs, thereby placing greater emphasis on the management of delivery schedules.
Regulatory Governance in AI
As AI adoption accelerates, regulatory bodies are poised to enforce tighter governance to ensure accountability and deliver value. By 2025, stricter regulations are expected to shape AI deployment in the pharmaceutical industry, necessitating compliance and transparency. These regulations will play a critical role in safeguarding patient data and ensuring ethical use of AI technologies.
Personalized Patient Experience
Pharma companies are exploring novel ways to customize the patient’s journey, improving patient outcomes and experiences. Advances in genomics and biotechnology are paving the way for personalized medicine, where treatments are tailored to individual genetic profiles.
Our Approach

The U.S. pharmaceutical market remains the largest globally in terms of dollar value, with a net market value of USD 446 Bn in 2023 and a net CAGR of 5.3% over the last five years (Source: IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science, Global Use of Medicines: Outlook to 2028, January 2024). It is characterized by a significant disparity between branded and generic medicines. Despite accounting for only 8.8% of prescriptions, branded medicines constitute a staggering 85.7% of the market value. On the other hand, unbranded generics dominate in terms of prescription volume, representing 88.4% of prescriptions, however contributing to only 8.0% of revenues. Branded generics serve as a middle ground, accounting for 6.3% of total net sales and 2.8% of prescriptions (Source: IQVIA – US Generics and Biosimilars Trends).
Biologics is another critical component of the U.S. pharmaceutical landscape, currently accounting for 46% of drug spending and exhibiting a very high growth rate (Source: IQVIA – Global Pharma Market Snapshot - 2024). This growth trajectory highlights its increasing importance in the market, a trend that is likely to continue as more biologic treatments gain approval and adoption.
The U.S. market is on the cusp of significant transformations due to impending losses of exclusivity. This is expected to reduce brand spending by USD 145 Bn over the next five years. Small molecule drugs will be the most affected, with an anticipated reduction in brand spending of USD 106 Bn through 2028, more than double the impact over the last five years. Biologics will also face substantial spending reductions, estimated at USD 39 Bn over the same period, as biosimilar market dynamics mature and major products encounter competition (Source: IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science, Global Use of Medicines: Outlook to 2028, January 2024).
Lupin’s Evolution, Performance and Highlights
In this dynamic and competitive environment, Lupin has consistently played a pivotal role over the last few years by providing high-quality, safe, and affordable medicines to millions of Americans. Despite operating in a challenging environment characterized by high price deflation due to buyers’ consolidation, supply chain disruptions, and rising competition, we have displayed not only a high degree of resilience, but also forged ahead in terms of sales. Our market strategy epitomizes value creation, which helps us thrive wherever we operate.

Our relentless focus on sustainable growth, portfolio diversification, and profitability drives every decision we make. A major growth engine over the last 5 years, both from a top as well as bottom line standpoint, has been the inhalation segment, which has witnessed significant growth. The business, which represented less than 2%, witnessed substantial growth, contributing to almost 40% of the overall U.S. net sales. We expect to sustain the business at high growth levels, ramping up the inhalation business and focusing on new product launches in FY25.
As of March 2024, Lupin is the third-largest pharmaceutical company in the U.S. by filled prescriptions, with a 5.2% market share in generic scripts. Thanks to our portfolio of 150+ commercialized products, a ~30% market share per marketed product. With 100+ products in the pipeline across a wide range of therapeutic areas and dosage forms, we continue to maintain our business momentum, auguring well for the healthcare ecosystem in the U.S.
During the last fiscal year, the U.S. market contributed to 34% of the overall company sales, with INR 67,628 Mn in net revenue, strong growth of 30% over FY23, higher than other geographies. Several key products have contributed to this noteworthy performance. Our strategic pivot to complex generics has yielded remarkable results.
The launch of Tiotropium (Gx Spiriva) in August 2023, the first Dry Powder Inhaler from India for the U.S. market, achieved consistent substitution rates exceeding 30%, underscoring its acceptance and demand. In line with prior years, Albuterol continued to be a top-selling product for Lupin and consistently captured 20%+ of the total reference market. Albuterol and Tiotropium are expected to be major drivers of financial performance through the next few years. Our strategy of integrating inhalation products such as Xopenex® and Brovana® enhances our offerings in the crucial respiratory segment. It will cement Lupin’s position as a top player in the U.S. respiratory space, an area of strategic focus for the
44 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
company. The successful launch of gSpiriva (Tiotropium) has not only positioned us as a leader in oral solid dosage forms, but has also set the stage for pioneering biosimilars.
Notably, Lupin currently ranks as the second-largest generic pharmaceutical company by sales in the U.S. respiratory segment, reflecting a strong foothold in and focus on this critical therapeutic area. Beyond inhalation products, strong top and bottom line contributions also came from other significant products such as Lisinopril and Bupropion, as well as gastro-intestinal products Gx GaviLyte and Gx Suprep, both of which are manufactured in our Somerset, NJ, plant. In addition to the introduction of Tiotropium, the U.S. business also benefited from 10 more new product launches in FY24, including Darunavir, Gx Prolensa, and Diazepam Rectal Gel. The combination of
Outlook
While the downward pricing pressure on oral solids has moderated from double-digit declines in FY23 to mid-high, single-digit percentages in FY24, Lupin’s focus is to strategically shift from traditional oral solid formulations towards complex and differentiated products. During the last year, more than 80% of our new product revenues in the U.S. came from nonoral solid products, platforms such as inhalation and injectables, characterized by less pronounced generic price deflation and reduced competitive pressure. We will build upon scaled product platforms in legacy oral and ophthalmic segments and drive our business around the commercial portfolio over the coming years. To drive this shift, around 70% of the R&D spend over the next five years is projected to be utilized for the development of complex assets in the inhalation and injectables spaces.
Beyond unlocking additional value from the inline commercial portfolio, we will ramp up our introduction of key oral and ophthalmic “first” products as well as a number of injectable assets. These include products such as Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) and Glucagon, all of which are expected to contribute to robust growth in the near and medium term.
In the long term, a strong pipeline of 30+ injectables and 20+ inhalation products, comprising a number of first-to-file, exclusive first-to-file and first-tomarket opportunities, will enable a more sustained growth as we continue to pivot to more complex
new product introductions, skillful commercial and supply chain execution, and ongoing measures to enhance operational efficiencies have helped move up our margins over the course of the last year, contributing to a remarkable financial performance. This, in turn serves as a key lever for value creation for all our stakeholders.
Driven by utmost attention to quality across all aspects of the supply chain, right from the procurement of APIs and KSMs to production, skillful commercial execution on inline products, relentless innovation across all therapeutic areas and dosage forms, as well as continuous operational improvements and cost optimization efforts, Lupin U.S. is projected to maintain a leading position and propel the overall company to sustained success in the coming years.
products, in particular inhalation and complex injectables. In this context, Lupin Inhalation Research Center (LIRC), our state-of-the-art, inhalation dedicated R&D center located in Coral Springs, Florida, will play an increasingly significant role in adding value. LIRC will contribute to our business strategy and will be a hotbed for innovation in the respiratory space from a formulation, device and drug-device combination standpoint. With advantages such as a differentiated talent pool, sophisticated technology and scientific equipment, LIRC will be a growth engine for the company. There will be further impetus to research around platforms such as MDIs, DPIs, SMIs, and nasal sprays. LIRC will also push forward our agenda around sustainability with green propellants, which will be fundamental to further establishing our position as a responsible pharmaceutical company.
Additionally, cost optimization efforts will enable us to improve our bottom line. We will also continue to explore inorganic opportunities to complement our existing portfolio of generics and specialty products. Strategic acquisitions and partnerships will be key to enhancing our product offerings, entering new therapeutic areas, and strengthening our market position, particularly in the specialty arena. Overall, we remain dedicated to delivering high-quality, affordable medicines to patients and are confident in our ability to navigate the market landscape effectively. Lupin’s strategic evolution in maintaining growth is multifaceted and deeply rooted in a blend of market diversification, new product portfolio, and operational optimization.

The pharmaceutical market in Europe is valued at USD 335 Bn, with the generic business contributing over USD 69 Bn. Despite the looming patent cliff with major pharmaceutical brands, particularly biologics, set to expire soon, the European market is poised for significant growth in the coming years.
In FY24, Lupin’s European business recorded sales of INR 19,235 Mn, up by 24% compared to the last year. Key drivers of this growth include the launch of our first respiratory product to several European countries and the extension of NaMuscla® beyond the UK, Germany, and France. Furthermore, our market presence has been strengthened through deep digital engagement with healthcare practitioners and the successful adoption of digital channels for promotion.
NaMuscla®, our flagship product in the neurology segment in Europe, addresses the unmet needs of adult patients suffering from non-dystrophic myotonic disorders, a severe neuromuscular and orphan disease with debilitating effects. Lupin is committed to broadening NaMuscla’s indications to pediatric patients with myotonic disorders and adults with Myotonic Dystrophy through two ongoing clinical studies. Apart from NaMuscla, our first respiratory product in Europe, Beclometasone-Formoterol Gx, is now distributed across several countries.
Lupin has successfully entered the injectable space through the acquisition of Medisol SAS in France. Medisol’s wide portfolio comprises of injectables in pain, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular segments. This provides us with a robust foundation to leverage Lupin’s injectable portfolio in France over the next few years. This strategic expansion and innovation in our product
offerings underscore Lupin’s dedication to addressing unmet medical needs and driving growth in the European pharmaceutical market.

Our German subsidiary, Hormosan Pharma GmbH, has sustained its growth in the competitive German market. In FY24, Hormosan witnessed positive growth in its
established neurology, pain, and sexual health portfolios. The launch of Luforbec®, the first generic Beclometasone/ Formoterol in Germany, marked Hormosan’s expansion into the inhalation field, further enhancing our potential in this segment.
In the face of a declining German contraceptive market, Hormosan has posted an impressive 16% growth compared to the previous year and achieved an 18% four-year CAGR, defying industry trends. At the core of this success lies a strategic investment in service innovation, helping position Hormosan as the fastestgrowing company in the market. The company’s commitment to meeting market needs led to the creation of the Contraception Prescription Navigator, a ground-breaking tool developed in collaboration with German Key Opinion Leaders, thus making Hormosan a trendsetter in the country.

Branded Generic Generic Player in
Player in Philippines Australia
----- End of picture text -----
The APAC region continues to be a dynamic and rapidly expanding market for Lupin, with Australia and the Philippines being significant contributors. In Australia, our focus on niche generics and biosimilars is driving steady growth. In the fast-growing pharmaceutical sector in the Philippines, Multicare Pharmaceuticals is leveraging its extensive product portfolio and strategic new launches to gain market share. These efforts are a testament to our commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable medicines across the APAC region, while further widening our footprint in these markets.

The pharmaceutical market in Australia is currently valued at approximately AUD 22 Bn, with an annual growth rate of 3%. The generic (Gx) business accounts for over AUD 3 Bn of this market. In the medium term, the Australian market is projected to grow at 3-5% annually. Australia’s population of around 27 Mn is characterized by an aging demographic, similar to other developed nations. However, a robust immigration program has been a key driver of population growth, resulting in sustained demand for primary as well as chronic care medicines.
The Australian government subsidizes medicines for its population, focusing on cost containment to fund newer and more expensive medications without impacting the national budget. This emphasis on cost control is expected to continue in the medium to long term, with enhanced efforts to facilitate generic penetration. Some of the measures in this direction include simplification of product registrations, reducing compliance burdens, and collaborating with like-minded countries on product approvals with no compromise on quality standards. Additionally, the government has established a framework to facilitate the entry of biosimilars, too. Overall, the Australian market has created a clear pathway for generic and biosimilar companies to enter, develop and grow over the medium to long term.
Generic Health remains the fourth-largest generic player in Australia, with sales of AUD 108 Mn in FY24, up from AUD 96 Mn in FY23, representing a growth rate of 13%. This has been possible due to 12 new product launches during the year and the continued success of our OTC hair loss treatment product, Minoxidil. We have also witnessed an increased market share of existing products; despite
competition in our key molecules, innovative and new product launches and strategic market positioning have supported our growth trajectory.

Ophthalmic Player in Brazil
Player in Mexico in Volume
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [40 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [51 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
With a market size of USD 11.7 Bn, Mexico is the second largest pharmaceutical market in Latin America. The market experienced a growth of 4.4% in value terms (according to MAT Figures as of February 2024). The primary driver of this growth is the strong dependency of the Mexican pharmaceutical market on patients’ outof-pocket expenses, coupled with the absence of price controls. Key product categories such as anti-diabetics, vaccines, and respiratory treatments exhibit significant double-digit growth.
In FY24, Laboratorios Grin (Lab Grin), Lupin’s subsidiary in Mexico, primarily focused on ophthalmology within the private market, and achieved significant milestones despite facing many challenges. The temporary closure of our manufacturing facility posed complex supply chain issues; however, Lab Grin demonstrated remarkable resilience and a robust recovery. The closure of our factory for a considerable period created supply issues that required swift and effective management. Through strategic planning, we mitigated the impact of these disruptions and ensured a strong bounce back.
Lab Grin secured an impressive market share of 7.6%, underscoring our commitment to innovation and market penetration. This achievement is particularly notable, given the operational disruptions faced during the year. The successful launch of six new products from our pure innovation pipeline was crucial to our growth. These products, including treatments for dry eye, anti-infectives,
and food supplements, have been well-received in the market. Additionally, we maximized the market penetration of our in-licensing portfolio, further enhancing our product offerings and market reach. Financially, Lab Grin delivered a positive EBITDA of INR 239 Mn, reflecting our highly focused approach to the controllable portfolio and driving significant operational efficiencies. These efforts have helped Lab Grin gain market penetration and a higher share within the ophthalmic segment.
Outlook
Looking ahead, Lab Grin is well-positioned to continue its market share gains within the ophthalmic market. The company plans to launch over 20 innovative products in the next five years, with an aim to secure market leadership. Leveraging Lupin’s global product pipeline, Lab Grin also intends to expand beyond ophthalmology by introducing products in the neuroscience and respiratory segments. This strategic expansion aims to transform Lab Grin’s portfolio into one comprising purely innovative and innovative branded generics across various therapy areas.

The Brazilian pharmaceutical market continues to demonstrate robust growth and dynamic shifts, providing significant opportunities for various business models. The ongoing evolution in pharmaceutical retail dynamics presents ample room for expansion. Additionally, an important number of molecules are expected to lose patent protection in the next five years, creating opportunities for the generic and biosimilar markets while posing challenges for reference drugs. Medquimica, Lupin’s Brazil subsidiary, has continued outperforming the market, gaining a share in a highly competitive environment. In FY24, Medquimica achieved sales of BRL 253 Mn, maintaining its position as the 6[th] largest player in Brazil. The company’s robust performance is driven by a diverse portfolio and strategic market positioning. Medquimica has a broad portfolio encompassing 76 molecules across 50 therapeutic classes, with 18 products ranked within the top 5 in their categories. The OTC portfolio is a leading segment featuring top-selling and rapidly growing products. Continuous expansion through innovative formulations has made OTC the primary revenue source. The company also focuses on rare diseases, such as Wilson disease, a rare genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 50,000 Brazilians annually.
During the year, Medquimica encountered a few challenges on the quality front. However, the company acted swiftly and decisively to address these issues. A robust remediation plan, including a reinforced weekly quality control mechanism, was implemented. This
ensured that Medquimica quickly overcame these challenges and was able to significantly enhance its quality management processes, providing a huge fillip for future growth.
Several factors are propelling the growth of Medquimica and the broader pharmaceutical market in Brazil. Increased cost and price pressures from payers and the accelerated launch of new products contribute significantly to market growth. The adoption of new technologies and growing government expenditure on health further bolster the market. The loss of exclusivity, favoring generics and biosimilars, continues to be a critical growth driver.
Outlook
Medquimica’s outlook for FY25 is promising, with growth expected to be driven by price hikes and the performance of key products. Medquimica has implemented a robust remediation plan, including a reinforced weekly quality control mechanism, to ensure the highest gross margins moving forward. This strategic focus is expected to maintain the company’s growth trajectory and enhance its market position in the Brazilian pharmaceutical industry.

We are currently in the process of developing a robust new product portfolio across various therapeutic areas. The seeding of new products in diverse markets is expected to pave the way for sustainable growth in our API business over the next five years.
The Government of India’s Performance Linked Initiative scheme aims to enhance self-reliance in the API sector and reduce import dependency for key products. Lupin has launched several strategic initiatives aligned with this, including additions to our product portfolio and expansion of our API production capacities.
Leveraging our rich expertise in API research and formulation development, our value-added P2P business focuses on developing new molecules and combinations that meet market needs. During the year, the P2P business successfully commercialized new and innovative formulations in the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal therapy segments. Revenue from new products contributed 20% to overall sales, with key launches
including Sacubitril-Valsartan and Linagliptin, both as plain formulations and in combination.
Lupin Manufacturing Solutions
In FY24, we had a strategic carve out of our API business, encompassing the manufacturing sites at Dabhasa and Vizag, as well as Fermentation and Enzymatic research at Lupin Research Park - Pune, to form our subsidiary, Lupin Manufacturing Solutions. This initiative aligns with our commitment to exploring new horizons and achieving sustainable growth. LMS aims to maximize our thirdparty API business while expanding into API Contract Development and Manufacturing Operations.
This transition marks a significant step towards positioning Lupin as a trusted partner in the pharmaceutical industry, facilitating the development and manufacturing of safe, effective, and affordable medicines. Our path to success will be defined by collaboration, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Global Institutional Business
Our Global Institutional Business is not just a business venture but a testament to our commitment to a healthier world globally. We collaborate closely with global and national public health institutions in the coordinated fight against TB and HIV.

TB notification rates across high TB-burden countries have been steadily increasing. However, there remains a significant gap between actual TB prevalence and TB notification. For several years now, Lupin has been striving to establish a world free of TB, with high-quality, affordable, and reliable medicines. Our products are distributed in more than 50 countries across Africa, Latin America, the CIS, and Asia. Our firm resolve to combat TB has established us as one of the largest suppliers of firstline anti-TB drugs globally.
New medicines for managing multidrug-resistant TB are currently in development. We are working on a backward integration strategy to manufacture these essential APIs in-house, ensuring reliable supplies, continuous availability, and access to high-quality, affordable medication.
Lupin is proud to be the first generic company in the world to receive the WHO Prequalification status for Bedaquiline, a key drug for managing MDR-TB.
In addition to TB treatment, there is an increased effort to scale up the use of regimens to prevent TB in high-risk individuals, such as those in close contact with TB patients or those with HIV. Our preventive TB regimen features Rifapentine, a fermentation-based product. Lupin’s expertise in fermentation and our large API/formulation manufacturing capacities provide strong growth and leadership opportunities in the preventive TB space.
During the year, Lupin became the first company in the world to file for WHO Prequalification approval for Rifapentine 150 mg Dispersible Tablets aimed at preventing TB in children.
We are also actively engaged with global and national public health institutions in an effort to treat HIV patients in low and middle income countries. Similar to our approach to TB, we are backwardly integrated to manufacture new antiretroviral drugs, ensuring we can offer quality-assured
medication at affordable prices while mitigating potential supply disruptions.
Lupin is well positioned to capture a significant market share in the ARV segment in access countries, leveraging our backward integration and large manufacturing capacities to meet global demand.
Outlook
In the coming fiscal year, we are targeting significant growth across our business segments. We are optimistic about the prospects of our API Plus segment, anticipating robust growth driven by strong market demand and strategic initiatives.
Our Formulation arm, encompassing the Global Institutional Business and P2P Business, is set for substantial revenue growth in FY25. The GIB segment, in particular, is expected to achieve a milestone with the sales of key new product launches, including Bedaquiline and Pretomanid, alongside the TB preventive regimen of RifapentineINH. Additionally, our P2P business is also on a growth trajectory, with planned expansions in Southeast Asia, CIS, and Africa, further enhancing our market presence.
We are also excited to incorporate significant biological products into our P2P portfolio, with Ranibizumab and Etanercept being key inclusions. We anticipate considerable revenue contributions from new product offerings, mainly from Ezetimibe, Eslicarbazepine, Pirfenidone, Desvenlafaxine, Dapagliflozin, and Mirabegron. With continued momentum on innovation and the introduction of newer products, we are poised for strong performance in the upcoming quarters.

Our Approach to Materiality
In FY24, we conducted a materiality assessment applying the principles of double materiality, guided by the Corporate Social Responsibility Directive framework. Double materiality allows us to evaluate our stakeholders’ perspectives on our societal and environmental impacts and the potential effects of external events on our business. This evaluation helps us identify potential vulnerabilities that could impact our ability to deliver medicines and treatments while enabling the company to manage its impact and better understand stakeholder perceptions.
Furthermore, materiality assessments help us address issues such as water resource management, the potential impact of excessive water extraction on climate change, and the subsequent impact on our future business. Our materiality assessment process includes multiple steps landscape analysis, stakeholder engagement, prioritization of material issues, application of double materiality and finalization of topics.
Based on the materiality assessment, we identified 18 high-priority topics, applying a double materiality lens to determine their financial and impact materiality and plotted these on a materiality matrix.

| Relevance/ Business Case |
With our portfolio of generics and extensive global presence, we are well-equipped to provide patients globally with access to essential medicines and meet the increasing demand for pharmaceutical products. Barriers to access, such as pricing and availability negatively impact the ability to obtain necessary medications and may pose challenges to our vision and long-term growth potential. |
Effective water and waste management is crucial for the company to create a positive environmental impact. Prioritizing effcient water usage, minimizing waste generation, and ensuring proper disposal are essential to showcase our commitment to a sustainable future and a healthier planet. |
The pharmaceutical industry’s dependence on the supply chain for critical raw materials and the fnal delivery of medicines could mean that any disruption can affect business continuity and product quality. Reliance on non- substitutable suppliers poses a risk to the consistent availability of essential raw materials. |
| Our Impact | The company’s innovation and research efforts boost brand value by providing diverse, accessible, and affordable products. These offerings help address unmet patient needs and improve access in low and middle- income countries. |
Persistent high water consumption in areas experiencing water stress increases the risk of rising operational costs, which can disrupt manufacturing capabilities and result in overall revenue loss. Inadequate management of environmental impact can lead to legal, regulatory, and fnancial consequences, damage to reputation and stakeholder trust, and, ultimately, a loss of license to operate. |
Partnerships with suppliers can be impacted if they fail to meet the required regulatory and ESG standards, resulting in a loss of business value. Dependence on non- substitutable and critical raw material suppliers poses a risk to the business in the event of unforeseen disruptions. |
| Business Strategies |
We are dedicated to building a resilient and varied product portfolio through strengthening cross-functional synergies, organizational capabilities, project management, and governance. Our focus is on identifying, developing, planning, and launching new products. We prioritize developing and commercializing advanced generics, supported by operational excellence initiatives aimed at improving yields, ensuring supply chain continuity, and maintaining suffcient inventories. |
We monitor our water consumption on a regular basis. Our efforts are concentrated on optimizing water usage, minimizing withdrawals, and enhancing water recovery. We aim to implement Zero Liquid Discharge at our facilities to treat all manufacturing wastewater responsibly. Additionally, we are committed to prudent water use in regions facing water scarcity, reducing our environmental impact. |
We are actively seeking ways to mitigate supply chain risks by assessing alternative suppliers for critical or irreplaceable raw materials. Our suppliers are required to uphold the company’s ESG standards as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. |

|---|---|---|---|
| Cause of Impact Ethical marketing and clear labeling ensure that patients receive accurate and comprehensive information about their medications. This includes dosage instructions, potential side effects, contraindications, and interactions with other drugs. |
AMR can lead to higher mortality rates as infections that were once treatable become resistant to antibiotics, making them harder to cure, resulting in prolonged illnesses and increased complications. Resistant bacteria can spread within communities and healthcare settings, leading to outbreaks that are diffcult to control. |
The security and integrity of the IT system across the entire business is directly impacted by risks related to Cyber Security and Data Privacy. |
|
| Stakeholder Group Community in general |
Community in general | Community in general | |
| Impact (Positive/ Negative) Miscommunicating drug uses or prescriptions, along with any incorrect labeling, can cause serious harm to patient’s health and safety, which has reputational risks alongside risks related to loss in revenues. |
Lupin’s inaction as a pharmaceutical company regarding AMR stewardship can lead to a loss of reputation, which in turn leads to a loss of customer loyalty and customers. |
Lack of a robust data integrity and security mechanism could increase the rate of data breaches and result in the loss of valuable data that may have an adverse impact on the business. Breach of customer/ stakeholder data may potentially expose us to litigations, fnes and penalties. |

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, information security management and protection have become paramount concerns for organizations worldwide. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of information security across our operations and have a comprehensive approach to safeguarding our information assets.
Elevating Information Security in Digital Age
Lupin prioritizes the security of its sensitive information through a robust Information Security Management System. This framework provides a structured approach to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate information security risks. By adhering to industry best practices, the ISMS ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical data assets.
Our commitment to cybersecurity extends beyond policy implementation. We leverage advanced technologies like Zero Trust and network monitoring tools, particularly at the plant level, to bolster our defenses. Additionally, the strategic deployment of honeypots at the perimeter aligns seamlessly with CERT-IN standards. This multilayered approach has yielded positive results, with zero major security incidents reported this year.
Furthermore, Lupin demonstrates its dedication to continuous improvement by achieving ISO 27001:2013 certification across all India locations, including our headquarters. We are currently transitioning to the latest standard, ISO 27001:2022. This proactive approach ensures our security practices remain aligned with evolving threats and regulatory requirements, enabling us to adapt effectively.

Overview
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Safeguarding Operational Technology networks is paramount. Our project aimed to fortify cybersecurity by implementing cutting-edge anomaly detection techniques and integrating threat intelligence feeds. The goal was to proactively identify and mitigate potential threats to uphold integrity, availability, and reliability of critical industrial processes.
Key Highlights
- State of the Art Technology Deployment
We deployed advanced anomaly detection systems within our OT network. These systems monitored network traffic without disrupting manufacturing operations, analyzing patterns to identify any unusual behaviors signaling security threats swiftly.
• Collaborative Customization
Engaging with equipment manufacturers, business teams, and security consultants was crucial. Together, we ensured that the threat intelligence feeds were finely tuned to the unique needs of each plant. This collaborative effort maximized the effectiveness of our cybersecurity measures.
Business Benefits
- Early Threat Detection
Real-time anomaly detection empowered us to swiftly respond to potential threats, minimizing their impact on critical processes.
• Reduced Downtime
Proactive threat mitigation led to minimal operational disruptions, ensuring seamless manufacturing continuity.
• Heightened Situational Awareness
By raising awareness about cybersecurity threats, we fostered a culture of vigilance across our organization.
• Cost Savings
Early risk mitigation translated to significant cost savings, preventing the need for extensive system repairs and downtime.
Business Continuity Plan
To ensure the resilience of our critical operations in times of crisis, we have established a Business Continuity Management System in alignment with the ISO 22301 standard. In the initial phase, we conducted a comprehensive Business Impact Analysis and Risk
Assessment specifically for IT services in our Head office. The recovery strategy was then validated through a tabletop exercise. Subsequent phases will involve conducting BIA and RA for four additional locations engaged in Research and Development and manufacturing.

Induction Program
Udbhav, our flagship induction program, is quite comprehensive and designed to familiarize new employees with Lupin’s culture and operations. It covers the legacy, values and culture of the company, as well as guidelines pertaining to finance and pharma. This information enables new joiners to seamlessly integrate into the organization. In FY24, 2044 employees participated in the onboarding program, gaining a deep understanding of the company and their roles.
Buddy Program
During their initial months, new employees are assigned buddies through a structured process. Senior employees in the company help them to settle in and smoothly integrate into the organization with a sense of belonging. With 499 active buddies, including 114 newly certified ones and 172 engaging in experiential learning, we are working to enhance the onboarding experience and productivity of our new hires, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.
It also provides comprehensive training modules about our corporate policies, including the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy, Whistle Blower Policy, and Prevention of Workplace Harassment through the PLEDGE (Preparing Lupin Employees to Demonstrate Corporate Governance and Ethical Conduct) initiative. CoBC training is rolled out to permanent and contract employees. Last year, we further strengthened our Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) framework, establishing dedicated Internal Committees in all locations. The PoSH e-module saw remarkable completion rates of 84% among permanent employees and over 2,350 contractual staff. We also completed an annual in-person refresher for all 47 Committee members and held a virtual PoSH refresher internal workshop with 23 participants.

We have initiated multiple programs for technical upskilling, behavioral training, and leadership development.
Learning and Development Programs
-
The key to building a robust internal talent pool and developing capability is to identify the skill gaps and work diligently to address them in a meaningful manner. Our Catalyst and Accelerate programs are designed to ensure a comprehensive approach to talent development. The Catalyst program, spanning over twelve months and four phases, was developed to identify and address skill gaps. The first phase, gap identification, is facilitated by inhouse Development Centers, which make use of comprehensive assessment processes and tools for gap identification. This is followed by extensive feedback and debriefing sessions. The program then provides a business driven Individual Development Plan, strategically focusing on experience, exposure, and education. Over the year, five reviews are conducted to ascertain the gaps that pave the way for targeted learning sessions.
-
Similarly, the Accelerate program follows a systematic approach to upskill all Regional Sales Managers of India Region Formulations. The program begins by identifying development areas and then provides customized learning interventions over six months, ensuring the specific business needs are met.

Companies often face the challenge of developing a robust succession pipeline for critical site leadership roles, especially those instrumental in maintaining operational excellence and regulatory compliance. Lupin’s ENHANCE program directly addresses this need by systematically grooming a select group of high potential managers over three years to assume the responsibilities of a site head in the future. Investing in this initiative mitigates the risks associated with leadership transitions and ensures seamless knowledge transfer. The program safeguards business continuity by fortifying the leadership pipeline of individuals well-versed in the company’s operations and culture.
The program follows a comprehensive nine-step approach facilitated through three broad areas: Engage, Challenge, and Measure. Engagement is achieved through a variety of touchpoints, including Development Centers, 1:1 interactions, Action Learning projects, worldclass executive education and exposure to prestigious institutions like the Indian Institutes of Management Lucknow, mentoring by our senior leadership team, coaching from business leaders and industry veterans, and site immersions. This engagement is closely tracked by the senior leadership team, ensuring a structured and impactful journey.
The core of the program is a series of dynamic workshops led by industry experts and seasoned leaders. These
workshops delve into crucial leadership competencies, such as team management, impactful presentations, executive presence, decision-making, and effective communication, equipping participants with the skills necessary to thrive in a competitive business environment.

Shaping Promising Talent
We have implemented the Global Talent Management and Leadership Development program, an initiative designed to identify, assess, and foster the growth of our high potential and high performing individuals. Anchored around the eight Lupin Leadership Competencies, the framework focuses on three key areas: succession plans for critical positions, career plans for top talent and individual developmental plans. The program covers employees from mid to senior management (Vice Presidents). For senior management, the program is applicable globally. The initiative was launched in 2022 with over 200 participants from across the globe, encompassing a talent assessment process, including 360-degree feedback, Thomas Profiling and talent reviews by Presidents and key stakeholders. The comprehensive review helps chart individual development plans tailored to each employee’s needs.
Top performing talents were identified within each department and the organization. Detailed career development plans were created for these high potential employees to enable continued growth. Additionally, successors were designated for all critical roles to ensure seamless leadership transition when required. Progress reviews will be conducted periodically to track the development of identified talents and successors against their personalized career plans.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We take pride in DEI being a priority and a business objective for us. Our belief is simple. Our differences make us stronger. We are committed to creating a world where everyone feels included, valued and thrives. We have a system where we oversee diversity centrally and measure success with clear metrics but entrust local teams to implement it in ways that suit their context.
In FY24, all employees who underwent assessments were evaluated by the Talent Council and the President.

Assessing Performance
As the future of work evolves, our approach to performance management must align with it, too. We continuously refine our annual performance process to ensure transparency, fairness, and robustness through:
-
Collaborative goal setting and development plans with employees, rather than a traditional unilateral approach
-
Performance conversation documents that track progress in Key Result Areas that enable us to identify development needs and provide timely support
-
Continuous feedback through a newly launched platform, Success Factor, in addition to annual reviews
-
Introduction of self appraisal forms for all employees, allowing them to rate themselves against objectives
-
Upgraded portal capturing metrics from ratings to calibration
Linking Performance to ESG and Materiality
Our leaders guide their teams through this process and ensure that individual goals are aligned with Lupin’s Leadership Competencies and Values Framework. Further to ascertain our commitment to our ESG goals and material KPIs, all Presidents have ESG goals as their individual goals and Lupin has ESG goals in its corporate goals – if the goals are met or not met/achieved, then the compensation of the Executives is affected.
Our materiality assessment has identified the top 3 material KPIs for enterprise value creation

All these 3 KPIs are covered under the ESG goals as well as directly linked to the performance assessment of responsible executives.
Supporting the well-being of all
We believe that nurturing employee well-being is crucial to cultivating resilience in our workplace. We want to create a welcoming environment in the company that people are proud to be a part of, where they can build successful careers while contributing to improving patients’ lives. We provide a competitive total rewards program covering pay, benefits (health insurance, parental and adoption leave, sabbatical), learning opportunities and well-being initiatives. While local cultures and regulations influence the specifics of our offerings in each country, our employee well-being strategy remains global in its scope.
To support physical well-being, we offer diverse fitness programs and workshops, including yoga, zumba, nutritional guidance, mindfulness practices and other engaging activities. These initiatives encourage our
employees to incorporate regular exercise into their daily routines. Annual health checkups are also organized to monitor the overall well-being of our workforce. Our Sikkim Lupin Women’s Network organized a women’s football tournament on International Women’s Day this year. The event brought together employees from various peers, including Cipla, Zydus and Golden Cross, to celebrate inclusivity and a spirit of togetherness.
The scope of our well-being programs extends beyond physical health as we understand that true well-being encompasses more than just an active lifestyle. We conduct webinars on holistic health and wellness, providing valuable insights and strategies to help our employees thrive personally and professionally. We offer work from home and flexible working hours if needed. This approach allows employees to maintain a healthy worklife balance when faced with unique circumstances or obligations outside the workplace.
Ensuring our employees feel seen, heard, and appreciated is fundamental to our strategy. This year, we launched BRAVO 2.0!, an online platform to celebrate individuals who champion Lupin’s core values. New features include spot recognition and the option for users to nominate any deserving colleague across all our India locations (excluding IRF, which continues using the Shabaash program).
The Desh Bandhu Gupta Spirit of Lupin Awards is our apex awards program, named after our visionary Founder. The program pays homage to his belief in recognizing and honoring individuals who embody the values of innovation, dedication, and compassion in advancing healthcare for all. Last year, we witnessed over 10,000 nominations across six regions and our six core values. Such an outpour of recognition for our employees’ exceptional contributions inspired us to extend our gratitude beyond the walls of our company. Motivated by the nominations, we planted 10549 trees, one for each nomination across various locations.
Prioritizing Mental Health through WeCare
We are taking deliberate actions to destigmatize mental health at work to help us lead with empathy and openness. We organize stress management workshops to equip employees with coping strategies and resiliencebuilding techniques, while mindfulness programs, meditation sessions, and relaxation techniques have been introduced to promote mental clarity and emotional balance.
Through the WeCare program, we support our employees in managing personal and workplace stress. Employees can access curated content on emotional and mental health tailored for the Indian context through an online platform. Counseling is confidential and options include telephone, online, and video sessions, with support also extended to immediate family members.

Employee Engagement
In order to improve employee engagement, the renowned McKinsey framework of the Organizational Health Index was administered by the said. The survey had a Global Employee response rate of 85%. The overall engagement score was 80% globally and 89% for India. Post administration of the survey, a structured communication plan was rolled out for the respondents. Detailed action plans were formulated subsequent to business/functionwise focused group discussions. These action plans will be monitored over a period of time as the OHI is a Biennial process.
Human Rights
Lupin signed on to the United Nations Global Compact in April 2023 and is committed to the UNGC’s Ten Principles on respecting internationally proclaimed human rights and operating responsibly labor, environment and anti-corruption. Guided by our Human Rights Policy, we respect and promote human rights across our operations, business relationships, and communities we work with. We do this through:
- Sensitization Efforts: As it’s a shared responsibility to uphold these values, we conduct periodic human rights awareness sessions to build an understanding
and respect for human rights within our workforce. This year, we organized a mandatory annual human rights refresher for our Indian teams led by Mr. Amit Patil, a renowned social and sustainability expert and trainer. We also ensure that all new hires receive human rights training during onboarding.
• Responsible Management: To support the implementation of our human rights policies, we have established site-level Human Rights Core Committees led by the respective site heads. Each committee has a fair representation from departments, managers, junior employees, female employees, and contract employees, and meets every quarter. They ensure policy governance, track key metrics every quarter and address any related concerns or grievances that may arise. Through human rights audits, we aim to identify potential risks arising from our activities and effectively manage them. We have expanded the coverage of the audits, starting with five sites last year to encompass all manufacturing facilities across India for Lupin and Lupin Manufacturing Solutions this year. During the human rights assessment audits, our sites undergo thorough evaluation against the key parameters listed below that are essential for ensuring human rights excellence.

Third-party Audits at Manufacturing Sites
Independent third-party auditors conducted the audits to ensure on-site compliance with Lupin’s Human Rights Policy.
Out of Lupin’s 15 total sites, 10 have been rated ‘Platinum’ while the others have received a ‘Gold’ rating. To sustain and enhance the overall site level score and the site rating, we have rolled out a few special projects at every site.
One such project was the ‘Process Improvement in the vendor billing cycle.’ During a Human Rights Audit, it was observed that while third-party contractors were paying their employees within the stipulated period, the pay dates varied across vendors. This posed a risk of perceived discrimination since Lupin’s permanent employees were paid on the last day of the month. To address this issue, a cross-functional team comprising HR location leads, administration, financial shared services, and procurement was formed.
The team renegotiated agreements with contractors, allowing for shorter credit periods and a priority payout partner every month. Standard Operating Procedures were developed, approved, and implemented to standardize the payment date for vendors and their thirdparty contractual employees across all locations in India. This initiative improved engagement among third-party contractual employees across our locations in India by ensuring a uniform and fair pay date aligned with Lupin’s permanent employees.
Health and Safety
Protection of our workforce is of utmost importance to the organization. Our Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policy is a guiding principle in fostering a safe and healthy workplace environment. We are committed to complying with all relevant laws and regulations while promoting the adoption of health and safety management standards across our manufacturing locations, R&D units, and offices.
We have implemented well-defined OHS management systems that delineate roles and responsibilities. This approach ensures the successful integration of OHS practices across all business processes and supports the effective participation of workers in determining and implementing preventive measures.
Proactive Risk Mitigation Strategies
Our robust Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment systems, coupled with comprehensive risk management processes, enable us to identify and implement effective control measures for potential risks. We employ a multifaceted approach, including HAZOP assessments for API products and processes, risk assessments for formulation units, and job safety analyses to gain a thorough understanding of potential hazards. To ensure readiness in emergencies, our team conducts regular mock drills to verify the operational effectiveness of our mitigation strategies. We prioritize rapid access to
medical services, including the provision of ambulances and the availability of antidotes, ensuring prompt and effective response in critical situations.
Continuous Improvement and Stringent Oversight
Ensuring effective health and safety initiatives is an ongoing process. We conduct monthly reviews of our environmental, health, and safety (EHS) performance at both site and corporate levels. These reviews play a crucial role in identifying constraints and developing improvement measures. Our sites are equipped with dedicated EHS units that facilitate the integration of safety management systems with annual performance appraisals, establishing clear safety performance targets. Our health and safety systems undergo rigorous internal and external audits to maintain the highest standards. In the event of an incident, our Incident Management System enables thorough investigation and implementation of appropriate remedial actions.
Established channels for reporting
We actively encourage our employees and workers to report any work-related hazards or potentially dangerous situations. Individuals can report near misses, injuries, and incidents to their respective department heads. Our specialized safety team is responsible for conducting root-cause analyses of incidents and implementing preventive actions to avoid recurrences.
Celebrating Excellence through the Lupin Environment, Health and Safety Awards and Accolade System
The EHSAAS initiative acknowledges and rewards employees and partners for their exceptional contributions towards EHS aspects of our operations, including EHS performance improvements, greenhouse gas reduction measures, resource conservation efforts, and injury reduction. This reward and recognition system will strengthen the EHS-driven culture within our facilities.

Biomass Boilers
Fuel consumption in boilers forms a significant part of our Scope 1 emissions. To reduce this, we have replaced oilfueled boilers with biomass briquette boilers.
Biomass briquettes, made from biodegradable waste, significantly lower GHG emissions compared to FO/LSHS/ LDO. They are typically produced from organic waste such as rice husk, sawdust, bagasse, groundnut shells, and other agricultural or forest waste. Biomass briquette boilers not only have lower emissions but also provide farmers with an alternative to monetize agro-waste. Additionally, the biomass briquette supply chain has strengthened over time to fulfill the necessary demand.
Ten of our twelve manufacturing sites in India make use of biomass briquette boilers for steam generation. Installation is underway at one additional site and is expected to be completed in FY25.
Climate Risk Assessment
At Lupin, we recognize the importance of being resilient and protecting our business and stakeholders against external threats. To this end, we prioritize monitoring and addressing a wide range of external factors to ensure that we are able to mitigate any risk. In our commitment to combating climate change, we fully support the Paris Agreement and aim to reinforce our response to risks posed by climate change. We will do this by limiting the rise in the global average temperature to well below 2°C and endeavor to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C to minimize severe climate change.
To achieve this goal, we launched strategic initiatives to comprehensively understand the effects of climate change on our business and therefore have put in place, measures to combat the same. Further to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), we conducted a climate risk assessment, including scenario analysis, in FY23 to study the impact of climate change on the business in different climate scenarios. This risk assessment covered both physical climate risks and transition-related risks to the business, adhering to leading internal frameworks and guidelines, such as the TCFD and the Carbon Disclosure Project.

Transition Risk Assessment
We conducted a scenario analysis up to 2050 to assess risks from anticipated changes in the policies, regulations, markets, and technologies due to climate change. Using Network for Greening the Financial System Scenarios, we partnered with an academic consortium from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, University of Maryland, Climate Analytics and Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich for this assessment. The transition pathways for the NGFS Scenarios are differentiated by several key design choices relating to long term temperature targets, net zero targets, short term policy, overall policy coordination and technology availability.
Addressing Water Security
Water stewardship is integral to our Sustainable Development Plan 2030, underscoring its critical role in our business operations and broader societal wellbeing. Recognizing the significance of water quality and availability, we remain steadfast in our commitment to developing sustainable water supply systems across our operations. Operating in water-scarce regions, we prioritize compliance with all water related regulations and maximize the use of recycled water from our effluent treatment and reverse osmosis facilities for utilities.
At the community level, we extend our water conservation efforts through initiatives such as rainwater harvesting projects facilitated by our CSR team. Furthermore, we continuously optimize freshwater usage and enhance water efficiency within our operations. To mitigate groundwater risks, we implement projects that place emphasis on surface water sources and deploy desalination plants. Moreover, our commitment to responsible wastewater management is evident through the establishment of wastewater recycling and zero liquid discharge in most of our sites. These initiatives ensure the safe disposal of treated waste, minimizing the risk of groundwater contamination and reinforcing our commitment to environmental sustainability.
Water Savings League
Water conservation plays a critical role in our sustainability journey. We actively invest in the latest technologies to reduce our freshwater consumption and are constantly exploring newer avenues to strengthen it.
We launched the Water Saving League 2023, a gamified initiative under ‘Mission Jal Shakti’ to optimize water usage in our Pithampur facility. As part of this program, awareness camps were held, and employee participation was actively sought to discuss innovative ideas to reduce water usage at the site. Our employees shared several novel ideas, which were implemented at Pithampur. Some of them include:
-
Rooftop rainwater harvesting system
-
Use of rainwater in the fire hydrant tank by replacing fresh water for makeup during the monsoon season
-
Retrofitted flow restrictors in water taps to improve water use efficiency
-
Removal of unwanted tappings from the mains water supply line
-
Identification of unaccounted water use points and installation of water flow meters at those points for effective monitoring
Collective participation by employees helped us to reduce our freshwater consumption by 16863 KL.
In FY24, we recycled 43.8% of the total water withdrawn for our India operations. We aim to achieve 50% recycling of the water used in India operations by 2025.

Over the last two years, we have consistently repurposed 70% of disposed waste as alternate raw material or fuel for co-processing, underscoring our commitment to sustainability.
Non-Hazardous Waste
All non-hazardous waste produced in our facilities undergoes recycling or reuse processes. This encompasses STP sludge, paper, and food waste from our canteens. We have also implemented biomass composting systems, transforming biodegradable waste into high-quality organic compost within our premises.
Other Waste
requirements. We comply with the ‘Plastic Waste Management Rules’ of the Central Pollution Control Board, including Extended Producer Responsibility for the management of plastic waste and e-waste. We have recycled 2803 MT of post-consumer plastic waste, fulfilling 100% of our EPR target.
Biocomposter
The non-hazardous canteen waste from most of the sites was sent to piggeries/cattle farms. The horticulture waste, i.e., dry leaves, dry grasses, dead branches, etc., was stored inside the premises as it was not disposed of outside the plant.
Our Goa plant utilizes a biocomposter system to convert organic waste from canteens and gardens into compost, which is used as manure within the plant. The biocomposter operates odor-free, with minimal electricity consumption, and produces nutrient rich compost in 15 to 20 days, eliminating the requirement of storing the compost further for maturing and curing.
Antimicrobial Resistance
Lupin recognizes the importance of Antimicrobial Resistance stewardship in our sustainability strategy, as it directly impacts human and ecological well-being. AMR poses a significant threat to public health by reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics and other anti microbial drugs.
The excessive use and improper disposal of these drugs can lead to contamination of water bodies, soil, and food chains, leading to further adverse conditions. We actively assess the ecological impact of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients used in the manufacturing processes, discharge into water bodies, potential bioaccumulation in ecosystems, and overall toxicity to organisms. We frequently analyze the anti microbial content in the treated water discharge and ensure that the PNEC values of those AMRs are below the quantification limit. 6 manufacturing plants are Zero Liquid discharge plants where the treated effluent is recycled in the utilities, and there is no discharge outside the premises. We also undertake lifecycle assessments of our top 10 revenue generating products, from cradle to gate, to understand and mitigate the cumulative environmental impact of APIs. The lifecycle assessments will help us to assess the opportunities for reducing the ecological footprint.
All other waste, including e-waste, plastic waste, and biomedical waste, is disposed of as per regulatory

Biodiversity
Biodiversity holds immense significance for us due to the role it plays in the discovery and development of nutraceuticals. Natural resources serve as invaluable reservoirs for novel chemical compounds and active ingredients, making the preservation of biodiversity crucial to our industry’s innovation and sustainability. Last year, we formalized our commitment to zero deforestation, recognizing the integral link between forest ecosystems and the availability of key resources for drug development. Building upon this commitment, we have embarked on a comprehensive assessment of biodiversity.
We undertook a biodiversity risk assessment in three of our manufacturing sites: Tarapur, Mandideep, and Pithampur. Detailed surveys of flora and fauna within the core and buffer zones (10 km radius) of each site were conducted, focusing on biodiversity aspects. Utilizing the WWF Risk Filter and Encore tools, we identified key risks and dependencies, including physical, political, and reputational risks. Notable physical risks identified are extreme heat, tropical cyclones, pollution, and possible disruptions in water supply.
Our methodology for conducting biodiversity risk assessment included desk research, primary and secondary data collection to conduct vegetation and faunal assessments (including the computation of biodiversity indices) and reporting. Primary data comprises direct field observations across the three sites and remote sensing data. The core zone (plant area) and
buffer zone (defined as a radius of 10 km from the plant) at each of the three locations were physically surveyed. Secondary data included details of Environmental Impact Assessments, Plant Operation and Production Reports, Corporate Social Responsibility / Sustainability Reports, Satellite Imagery, etc.
Ashoka and Teak are two Flora species identified for conservation. Faunal surveys highlighted River Tern and Black Rail species for conservation efforts.
Utilizing the established methodologies endorsed by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, we have identified and analyzed dependencies and pressures exerted on biodiversity within the operational areas of the assessed manufacturing plants. The detailed Biodiversity Management Plan outlines recommendations to ensure no net loss of biodiversity, enhance ecological health, avoid degradation of critical habitats, and achieve our long-term sustainability goals.

our products across their lifecycle. Guided by ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards, we completed LCA studies for 10 products this year. The LCA study adopted a cradleto-gate assessment, which includes emissions from raw material production and the final stage of production. Furthermore, the product use phase and end-of-life stage are excluded as per the system boundary. The LCA software used was SimaPro, and the EcoInvent Database was used for the LCA Database to model the environmental impact of the selected products.
The report presents the data in the form of eleven midpoint indicators (including Ecotoxicity and resource depletion indicators) to evaluate the environmental impacts such as: Climate change/Global Warming Potential (GWP, kg CO2 equivalent), Ozone Depletion
Potential (ODP, kg R-11 equivalent, Human toxicity, cancer (CTUh), Human toxicity, non-cancer (CTUh), Particulate matter (kg PM2.5 eq), Ionizing Radiation (kBq U235), Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (kg NMVOC eq.)/ Photochemical Ozone formation, Acidification Potential (mole H+eq.), Eutrophication, Terrestrial (mole N eq) Eutrophication, Freshwater (kg P eq), Eutrophication, marine (mole N eq), Freshwater Ecotoxicity Potential (FAETP, CTUe), Land use (kg C deficit), Water Use (m3 water eq), Mineral, fossil and ren resource depletion (kg Sb eq).
Further to the study, environmental hotspots which were identified are being addressed through decarbonization strategy and other environment action plans.

Lupin employs a ‘three lines of defense’ system to govern and manage risks.
The Risk Management Committee, constituted by the Board, holds the ultimate responsibility for our approach to risk management and internal controls. With their extensive experience and expertise, the committee translates strategic directives into tactical guidelines for the risk management function and oversees its effective implementation. The RMC establishes our risk appetite, taking a holistic view of risks across the entire organization and considering their global impact and interdependencies. The committee convenes bi-annually to provide strategic direction and oversight on risk management activities.
Reporting to the Board Committee is the Risk Management Cross Functional Team, which comprises of
individual risk owners. This team meets as frequently as needed to review risk treatment plans, monitor changes in risk exposures, and adjust the risk appetite as required. The risk owners share their reports on risks and mitigation strategies with this team.
At the operational level, our functional and location teams support the risk owners and are responsible for day-today risk ownership. They ensure clear assignment of risk management responsibilities and implementation of risk treatment plans. The functional and location teams meet regularly to assess risks and review the risk treatment plans.
We maintain an independent internal audit unit tasked with advising and auditing yearly to ensure that policies are followed and processes align with the company’s risk strategy and policies. This unit provides objective

assurance, safeguarding against conflicts of interest arising from other business priorities and ensuring effective risk management practices.
Biennially, the internal audit team may invite external experts for their comments on the audit process. This may
be done to benchmark our practices with global best practices. Further, to strengthen our ERM capabilities, we are set to pursue ISO 31000 Risk Management certification, thus aligning our risk governance systems with global standards.

Risk Identification and Prioritization: an extensive assessment of the business landscape, scanning the risk horizon throughout the year to identify external trends that may present opportunities or emerging risks. Additionally, risk owners monitor their business activities and internal environment to identify potential risks.
To feed into the internal risk assessment, an external double materiality exercise is undertaken once every two years, where material risks are assessed for their financial materiality and impact materiality. During this process, material Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are identified and compared against the
company’s risk taxonomy, ensuring all relevant risks are captured and addressed.
Insights from risk owners across the organization contribute to the risk prioritization process. Risk exposure is assessed once a year by considering the likelihood of occurrence and the overall impact of the identified risks. We utilize our risk appetite framework to define the likelihood and impact of the risk. By combining likelihood and impact, we determine the severity of risks, allowing us to prioritize the risks. Through this evaluation, risks are categorized as strategic, operational, emerging, and systemic.
-
Scenario Testing and Sensitivity Analysis: We are evolving sensitivity analysis and scenario planning exercises to evaluate our readiness to respond to our strategic and operational risks. This planning will aid us in anticipating contingencies and developing effective risk mitigation strategies.
-
Oversight and Governance: A Coordinated effort across all three lines of defence enables us to effectively identify, assess, and manage risks

while pursuing our business objectives. The Risk Management Council, with its role in overseeing the implementation of the risk management framework and management of material risks, is the key component in strengthening Lupin’s risk governance and oversight mechanisms.
- Risk Mitigation: The respective risk owners, with the support of the site and functional teams, ensure the development and implementation of consistent risk mitigation plans. At the start of each fiscal year, the Internal Audit team conducts an internal risk review. Additionally, an independent third-party Internal Audit of the risk management process is conducted once every two years. The findings from these reviews are used to adjust and refine the company’s risk treatment strategies as needed.

Our Risk Categorization
The risks in our portfolio are evaluated based on their likelihood and potential impact and categorized into one of the four risk categories.
Strategic Risks: These are the most critical factors affecting our ability to implement our strategy or accomplish our business objectives. As they stem from the organization’s overarching strategy, business model and strategic decisions, their impact can be far-reaching and potentially undermine the company’s core mission. We conduct regular risk reviews and scenario planning to manage strategic risks and establish robust mitigation measures to treat the risk. This enables us to reduce the likelihood of the risk materializing.
Operational Risks: These risks pertain to potential losses or disruptions arising from identified inadequacy in internal processes, systems, human errors, or external events. They arise from our day-to-day operations, processes, and systems that enable the organization to function effectively. Our operational risks are managed through robust internal control processes, employee training, business continuity planning, compliance mechanisms, and incident response protocols.
Emerging Risks: These risks are potential threats that are newly formed or rapidly evolving, requiring oversight and monitoring as they may develop into strategic or operational risks in the future. They may not be quantifiable, may contain a high degree of uncertainty, and their full impact on the organization may not be
138 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
immediately apparent. These risks are often driven by nascent trends, disruptive technologies, regulatory shifts, or societal changes. Depending on the priority of the risk, respective risk owners are identified for these risks, and appropriate mitigation measures are implemented.
Systemic Risks: These are evolving trends in the industry, over a longer term, that hold the potential to develop into
new risks. They are on the radar of the company but do not warrant an immediate risk response. However, these are assessed to see if the future consequence of the risk would be within our risk appetite and tolerances. Both emerging and systemic risks are communicated regularly and escalated appropriately to the Risk Management Committee so that they can guide decision-making.

However, the emphasis is on collaborating and developing domestic manufacturers to reduce import dependency and contribute to the local economy. We have a cross functional team comprising experts from the Research and Development, Quality Assurance, GSCM, and Regulatory Affairs departments, who collaborate closely with suppliers working on import substitution.
Systemic risks
Misinformation Risks, Deep Fakes and Trust Deficit
The World Economic Forum’s ‘The Global Risks Report 2023’ ranks ‘Misinformation’ as the 5[th] most severe global risk over the long term.
As the internet evolves, pharmaceutical companies like Lupin are becoming more susceptible to misinformation campaigns that can spread unreliable evidence on any of the products affecting the public’s trust in the brand and the industry at large. With the potential to develop hostility toward the brand, deep fakes and AI-generated content are a novel threat to our credibility and business. It poses higher stakes and more harmful risks due to its capacity
to create believable content at scale and at speed, which makes it challenging for us to counter.
Weaponized AI for Cyberattacks
Pharmaceutical companies have experienced an uptick in cyber attacks over the last few years due to valuable data and intellectual property held by these organizations. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, the frequency of cyberattacks on U.S. hospitals and health systems more than doubled from 2016 to 2021. Another example closer to home is the recent 2023 ransomware attack on one of India’s largest drug manufacturers, drawing attention to the industry’s vulnerability to data breaches and cyber threats. Cyber criminals are increasingly leveraging AI techniques to enhance the effectiveness of their attacks, making them more difficult to detect and defend against. Generative AI tools can be used to create counterfeit medical records, produce sophisticated phishing emails, create malware, and even manipulate diagnostic imaging results from X-rays and MRIs for ransomware. In diagnostic businesses like Lupin’s, medical imagery like MRI and CT scan results are typically stored on a central system and retrieved when required, making them susceptible to weaponized AI attacks without adequate measures to fend them off. AI systems could also be used to analyze and reverse-engineer our proprietary drug formulations, manufacturing processes, or research data, leading to IP infringement and potential legal battles.

Inaction from Lupin as a pharma company towards AMR stewardship can lead to loss in reputation which in turn leads to loss in customer loyalty and customers. |
We actively assess the ecological impact of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) used in the manufacturing processes, discharge into water bodies, potential bioaccumulation in ecosystems, and overall toxicity to organisms. We frequently analyze the Anti Microbial contents in the treated water discharges and ensure that the PNEC values of those AMRs are below the limit of quantification. 6 out of 13 manufacturing plants are Zero Liquid discharge plants where in the treated effluent is recycled in the utilities and there is no discharge outside |

Directing more waste to landfills and incinerators will increase the company’s contribution to air pollution and GHG emissions, along with underground water eutrophication. Investing in green chemistry and inculcating sustainable manufacturing processes can lead to an optimized and efficient manufacturing process. This can have a positive impact on revenues and in turn help increase investments in better tools and technologies. By providing safe and effective drugs the brand loyalty amongst customers increases and leads to greater revenues and builds trust between the company and society. |
Our approach to waste management is guided by the 3R principle of ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Our waste streams, which include hazardous waste, non- hazardous waste, e-waste, biomedical waste, and others, are inventoried periodically and are sent to third parties for recycling/disposal in compliance with applicable government regulations. |
Negative Improper waste management can lead to material wastage, fines and compliance penalties.

Leadership Indicators
1. Details of a business process being modified / introduced as a result of addressing human rights grievances/complaints. Process Improvement in the vendor billing cycle: One of the observations from the location wise Human Rights audit was that, though the third party employees deployed by the manpower contractors were paying their employees well within the stipulated period, the day of the month varied across vendors. Since the permanent employees of the company were being paid on the last day of the month, it posed a risk wherein the third party employees would feel unfairly discriminated against, inspite of complying to all statutory norms of the land. Therefore, it was decided that as a proactive step, the day of payout for the third party employees also needed to be brought forward and made uniform across all vendors to the extent possible.
A cross functional team of HR location leads, administration, financial shared services as well as procurement team was formed. This team worked towards ensuring the agreements with the manpower contractors were re-evaluated with a softer credit period as well as a priority payout partner on a monthly basis. The SOPs prepared by the team were presented to the leaders of these functions and signed off and implemented. This ensured the standardization of the payment date for the vendors and thereby for the third party contractual employees. This led to an improvement in engagement of these people across the India locations.

10. Briefly describe the waste management practices adopted in your establishments. Describe the strategy adopted by your company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the practices adopted to manage such wastes.
-
Across our full value chain, we have adopted efficient waste management practices and embraced circularity. We focus on recycling waste and are committed to minimizing the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators. Out of our thirteen facilities, including those dedicated to research and development, seven send their incinerable hazardous waste to Co-processors or Pre-processors. In FY2024, we managed to send 89% of our incinerable hazardous waste to be co-processed. By the year 2030, our goal is to redirect 70% of the incinerable hazardous waste generated by our operations in India to co-processing facilities like cement plants. The spent solvents produced in the process of manufacturing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are either reused on-site or sent to certified disposal facilities or recyclers. In our efforts to conserve resources, used calcium sulphate is dispatched to cement factories to serve as both a raw material and an alternative fuel. Non-hazardous waste, including waste from our canteens and mycelia, is processed either into organic fertilizer through composting or sent to piggeries. Our commitment to waste reduction is evident through several initiatives:
-
Encouraging the use of non-hazardous and less toxic materials at the R&D phase or as part of our process enhancements.
-
Enhancing our processes to increase product yields, thereby reducing waste.
-
Providing training for our employees on the safe handling, labeling, and storage of hazardous substances.

274 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Lupin Limited
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Lupin Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Holding Company”) and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”), and its joint venture, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the consolidated statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on separate financial statements of such subsidiaries and a joint venture as were audited by the other auditors, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and joint venture as at 31 March 2024, of its consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and joint venture in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provisions of the Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of reports of the other auditors referred to in paragraph (a) of the “Other Matters” section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements of components audited by them, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1) Revenue Recognition
Refer note 1B(m) of material accounting policies and note 30 to consolidated financial statements
The key audit matter
Revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products is recognized when control over goods is transferred to a customer. The actual point in time when revenue is recognized varies depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contracts entered with customers. The Group has many customers operating in various geographies and sales contracts with customers have distinct terms relating to the recognition of revenue, the right of return and price adjustments.
We identified the recognition of revenue from sale of products as a key audit matter considering:
Revenue is a key performance indicator for the group. Accordingly, there could be pressure to meet the expectations of investors/ other stakeholders and/ or to meet revenue targets stipulated in performance incentive schemes for a reporting period. We have considered that there is a risk of fraud related to revenue being overstated by recognition in the wrong period or before control has passed during the year and at period end.

Other Information
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor’s reports thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Holding Company’s annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with
governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs, consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its joint venture in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate
276 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the 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 consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for assessing the ability of each company 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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and the respective Board of Directors of its joint venture are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are 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 SAs 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 these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 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.
-
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 adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. 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 consolidated financial statements 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 Group and its joint venture to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of such entities or business activities within the Group and its joint venture to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in paragraph (a) of the section titled “Other Matters” in this audit report.
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 277
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor’s Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Lupin Limited for the year ended 31 March 2024 Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid consolidated financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Opinion
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Lupin Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”) as of and for the year ended 31 March 2024, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013 which are its subsidiary companies, as of that date.
In our opinion and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of subsidiary companies, as were audited by the other auditors, the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India which are its subsidiary companies, have, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2024, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by such companies considering the essential components of such internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the “Guidance Note”).
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Company’s Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the respective company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the
timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors of the relevant subsidiary companies in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 283
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any
evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Other Matters

- i) These Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared and presented in all material aspects in accordance with the principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS’) as notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act and accounting principles generally accepted in India.
Functional and Presentation Currency
- ii) These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the Parent Company. All financial information presented in Indian
rupees has been rounded to the nearest million, except otherwise indicated.
Basis of measurement
iii) The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for: (i) certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period; (ii) Non-current assets classified as held for sale which are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell; (iii) investment in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method (iv) derivative financial instruments and (v) defined benefit plans– plan assets that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below:
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Use of Significant Estimates and Judgements
- iv) The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognized in the periods in which the results are known/materialized. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Management considers the accounting estimates and assumptions discussed below to be its critical accounting estimates and, accordingly, provide an explanation of each below.
Information about critical judgments made in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are included in the following accounting policies.

b) Principles of Consolidation:
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities that are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed to or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.
In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances as mentioned in those policies.
The financial statement of Subsidiaries used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Group.
Upon loss of control, the Group derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, derecognizes any non-controlling interests, derecognizes the cumulative translation difference recorded in equity and recognizes the fair value of the consideration received related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If the Company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity accounted investee or fair value depending on the level of influence retained.
Joint Ventures (Equity Accounted Investees)
A Joint Venture is a Joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Investments in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying value of the Company’s investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Company
does not consolidate entities where the NonControlling Interest (“NCI”) holders have certain significant participating rights that provide for effective involvement in significant decisions in the ordinary course of business of such entities. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
The financial statement of Joint Ventures used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Group.
Consolidation procedure
The Consolidated Financial Statement of the Group has been combined on a line-byline basis by adding assets, liabilities, equity, income, expense and cash flows. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in full while preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Eliminate the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary.
Unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee.
Non-controlling interests (“NCI”)
NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition.
Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.
Changes in the Group’s equity interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
-
c) Property, Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:
-
I. Recognition and Measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
- its purchase price, including import duties
292 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
-
any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management.
-
the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Group incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
-
income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of the item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as an asset if, and only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure/ item will flow to the Group and cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
II. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure/ item will flow to the Group and cost of the item can be measured reliably.
III. Depreciation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated in India has been provided on the straight-line method as
per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on independent technical evaluation and management’s assessment thereof, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
| Particulars Improvements on Leased Premises |
Estimated Useful Life Over the period of lease |
|
|---|---|---|
| Building Plant and Equipment Office Equipment (Desktopand Laptop) |
5 to 80 years 10 to 15 years 4 years |
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and a joint venture has been provided on straight-line method as per the estimated useful life of such assets as follows:
| follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Particulars | Estimated Useful Life | |
| Buildings Improvements on Leased Premises Plant and Equipment1 Furniture and Fixtures Vehicles1 Office Equipment |
5 to 50 years Over the period of lease 3 to 20 years 2 to 20 years 3 to 7 years 2 to 21years |
1 Assets acquired on lease are depreciated based on straight line method over their respective lease periods.
Depreciation method, useful live and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).
IV. Derecognition of Property, Plant and Equipment
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 293
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
d) Intangible Assets:
I. Recognition and Measurement
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.
Expenditure on research and development eligible for capitalization are carried as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.
II. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and cost of the item can be measured reliably.
III. Derecognistion of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are derecognized either on their disposal or where no future economic benefits are expected from their use. Losses arising on such derecognition are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, and are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of respective intangible assets as on the date of derecognition.
IV. Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life on Straight Line Method as follows:
as follows: |
|
|---|---|
| Particulars | Estimated Useful Life |
| Computer Software | 2 to 6 years |
| Trademark and Licenses Dossiers/Marketing Rights Knowhow |
3 to 13 years 5 to 20 years 5years |
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets and the amortization period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortization method is revised to reflect the changed pattern, if any.
e) Non-current assets held for sale:
Assets are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if the asset is available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
Such assets or group of assets are presented separately in the Balance Sheet as “Assets Classified as Held for Sale”. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated.
f) Research and Development:
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the respective heads in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred.
Development costs of products are also charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless following condition are satisfied in which case such expenditure is capitalized
-
a product’s technical feasibility has been established;
-
development costs can be measured reliably;
-
future economic benefits are probable;
-
the Company intends to and has sufficient resources/ability to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
The amount capitalized comprises of expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis for creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, Plant and Equipment utilized for research and development are capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, Plant and Equipment.
Expenditure on in-licensed development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized, if the cost can be reliably measured, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset.
Payments to third parties that generally take the form of up-front payments and milestones for in-licensed products, compounds and Intellectual Property (IP) are capitalized since the probability of expected future economic benefits criterion is always considered to be satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets.
- g) Impairment of non-financial assets:
The carrying values of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment,
294 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
if any indication of impairment exists.
If the carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognized for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the cash-generating unit for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
When there is indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the amount was previously charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets, such reversal is not recognized.
Goodwill impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the Group. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Group using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involves, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates.
Impairment of CMPs/ANDA filings/Acquired In-Process Research and Development
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are subject to amortization. Intangible Assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets are estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Such impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Intangible Assets under development are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss.
Management judgement is required in the area of intangible asset impairment, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred that may indicate that the related asset values may not be recoverable; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset in the Group.
-
h) Foreign Currency Transactions/Translations:
-
i) Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of entities within the Group at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
-
ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate of the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
-
iii) Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at reporting date at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 295
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
- iv) In case of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Parent Company’s functional currency, the assets and liabilities of such foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising upon acquisition, are translated to the reporting currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of such foreign operations are translated to the reporting currency at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented within equity as part of Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR). When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as a part of gain or loss on disposal.
i) Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
I. Financial Assets Classification
On initial recognition, the Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets except trade receivable are recognized initially at fair value plus, in case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, Company’s trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price under Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
Purchases or sales of financial assets including mutual fund that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial assets at amortized cost
A ‘financial asset’ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
-
i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
-
ii) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in Finance Income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Financial assets included within the fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in below categories:
-
i) Debt instruments at amortized cost.
-
ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
-
iii) Derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
-
iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Group decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or FVTPL. The Group makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
296 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Group’s financial statements) when:
-
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
-
The Group has transferred its rights to
-
receive cash flows from the asset or
-
has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘passthrough’ arrangement; and either:
-
i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
-
ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
-
i) Trade receivables;
-
ii) Financial assets measured at amortized cost (other than trade receivables).
In case of trade receivables, the Group follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Financial assets classified as amortised cost
(listed as ii above), subsequent to initial recognition, are assessed for evidence of impairment at end of each reporting period basis monitoring of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding- looking information.
If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Subsequently, if the credit quality of the financial asset improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL allowance recognised (or reversed) during the period is recognised as expense (or income) in the Consolidated statement of profit and loss under the head ‘Other expenses’.
Write - off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
II. Financial Liabilities
Classification
The Group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, at amortized cost (loans, borrowings and payables) or as derivatives designated as hedging
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 297
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
-
i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss;
-
ii) Financial liabilities at amortized cost (loans and borrowings).
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separate embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within other equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Liabilities at amortized cost (loans and borrowings)
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as “Finance Costs” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category generally applies to interestbearing loans and borrowings.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. If not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount initially recognized less cumulative amount of income recognized.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Embedded derivatives
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope Ind-AS 109, the Group does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in all other host
298 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hedge Accounting
The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Group designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’) and accumulated in “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” are reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” is immediately transferred to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
III. Measurement
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
-
(a) Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments quoted in active markets is based on their quoted closing price at the balance sheet date.
-
(b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques using observable market data. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, standard valuation models based on market parameters for interest rates, yield curves or foreign exchange rates, dealer quotes for similar instruments and use of comparable arm’s length transactions.
-
(c) Level 3: The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
j) Business combinations:
- i) The Group accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgment is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 299
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
-
ii) Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive.
-
iii) The Company measures goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities in case such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably). When the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the OCI and accumulates the same in equity as Capital Reserve where there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase else the gain is directly recognized in equity as Capital Reserve, without routing the same through OCI.
-
iv) Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Company to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Company. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Consideration transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships.
-
v) Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
-
vi) Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination, such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
-
vii) On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company recognizes any non-controlling
interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
-
viii) Any goodwill that arises on account of such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
-
ix) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. The difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity.
-
k) Income tax:
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Group:
-
i) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and
-
ii) Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes (including those arising from consolidation adjustments such as unrealized profit on inventory etc.).
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are

Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax is not recognized for the temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of transaction.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
The Group recognises deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
-
i) When the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
-
ii) it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:
-
i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognised unless the management based upon its interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the
matter concludes that such benefits will be accepted by the authorities. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts.
- l) Inventories:
Inventories of all procured materials, stock-intrade, finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Cost of raw material, packing materials and stock-in-trade includes all charges in bringing the goods to their present location and condition, including non-creditable taxes and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. However, raw material and packing materials are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, cost of conversion, non-creditable duties and taxes as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
Cost of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct labour. They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
m) Revenue Recognition:
Sale of Goods
The majority of the Group’s contracts related to product sales include only one performance obligation, which is to deliver products to customers based on purchase orders received. Revenue from sales of products is recognized at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery, which the Group has determined is when physical possession, legal title and risks
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 301
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
and rewards of ownership of the products transfer to the customer and the Group is entitled to payment. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreements.
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the transaction price which is consideration received or receivable, net of returns, Goods and Service Tax (GST) and applicable trade discounts, allowances and chargeback. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs billed to the customer.
In arriving at the transaction price, the Group considers the terms of the contract with the customers and its customary business practices. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Group is entitled to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group accounts for refund liabilities (sales returns) accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Group’s estimate of expected sales returns. The Group considers its historical experience of sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Group’s business and markets. As required under Ind AS 115, the Group has presented its right to return assets under Other Current Asset and refund liabilities under Other Current Liabilities in the financial statements.
Any amount of variable consideration is recognized as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The Group estimates the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method.
The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by Major products/ service line, geography and timing of the revenue recognition.
Income from research services
Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed, or when risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, as applicable.
The Group enters into certain dossier sales, licensing and supply arrangements that, in certain instances, include certain performance obligations. Based on an evaluation of whether or not these obligations are inconsequential or perfunctory, the Group recognize or defer the upfront payments received under these arrangements. Deferred upfront payments are recognized over the period in which the Group has continuing performance obligations.
Services Income
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers. Generally, each test represents a separate performance obligation for which revenue is recognized when the test report is generated i.e. when the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Group has assessed that it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation to collection centers/channel partners. Accordingly, the revenue has been recognized based on the services rendered to collection centers/channel partners.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (referred to as “unbilled revenue”) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (referred to as “unearned revenue”).
Income from Export Benefits and Other Incentives
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and / or services are rendered only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.
- n) Other Income:
Interest income
Interest income is recognized with reference to the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income
Dividend from investment is recognized as revenue when right to receive is established.
- o) Employee Benefits:
Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid
302 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided and the Group will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the reporting date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid.
Defined benefit plans
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed periodically by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the
settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of longterm employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is measured on the basis of a periodical independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Other benefit plans
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Group recognizes expected cost of short-term employee benefit as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.
- p) Share-based payment transactions:
Employees Stock Options Plans (“ESOPs”)/ SESOP (Lupin Subsidiary Companies Employees Stock Option Plan): The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The expense is recorded for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The increase in Other Equity recognized in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in equity under “Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve”. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.
Cash-settled Transactions: The cost of cashsettled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 303
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date upto, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in employee benefits expense.
q) Discontinued Operations:
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
-
represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;
-
is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
-
is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative Statement of Profit and Loss and OCI is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
r) Leases:
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.
Group as a lessee
The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.
- i) Right-of-use asset
The Group recognizes right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception
shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of rightof- use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii) Lease Liabilities
- The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate (IBR). The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entityspecific estimates. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to

Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Group recognizes the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
- iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to shortterm leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- s) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Provision for asset retirement obligations is measured at the present value of the best estimate of the cost of restoration at the time of asset retirement.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are disclosed for:
-
i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group, or
-
ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
- t) Cash and Cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, cash at bank and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Group’s cash management.
- u) Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the effective interest rate (EIR) applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs, allocated to qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/ development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalization of such asset or upto the date the assets are ready for its intended use are added to the cost of the assets. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period which they are incurred.

v) Government Grants:
Government grants are initially recognized at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that grant will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant;
-
In case of capital grants, they are then recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
-
In case of grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognized.
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and/or services are rendered only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.
The Group has received approval under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme of the Government of India for specific product categories. Incentive under the scheme is subject to meeting certain committed investments and defined incremental sales threshold. Such grants are recognized as other operating revenue when there is a reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with all necessary conditions attached to the grant. Income from such grants is recognized on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate.
- w) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the events for bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does
not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.
- x) Insurance claims:
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect the ultimate collection.
- y) Current vs. Non-current:
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
-
Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
-
Held primarily for the purpose of trading
-
Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
-
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
-
It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
-
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
-
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Group classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
1C. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has not notified any new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time which are applicable effective 1[st] April 2024.

and litigation arising from the marketing and promotion of its pharmaceutical products in the United States.
----- End of picture text -----
- In January 2017, LPI and one of its employees were issued subpoenas by the Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting documents as part of DOJ’s investigation into possible antitrust violations within the generic drug industry. LPI has been cooperating in the ongoing investigation.
In April 2018, LPI was named in both class action and individual cases based on allegations of anticompetitive behavior related to certain products. LPI and one of its employees received a non-party subpoena from the state of Connecticut Attorney General (CAG) related to a civil antitrust case they filed in 2016, requesting documents and other information. In May 2019, 43 state attorneys general, led by the CAG, filed a second lawsuit against 19 companies (including Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.) and 15 individuals (including the Lupin employee) with allegations of violations of federal and state antitrust laws. The states claim to have been injured by paying supra-competitive prices for the products they purchased or reimbursed. These civil lawsuits were combined into the collection of similar cases referred to as In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Litigation, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As the case is still in the early stage, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, cannot be made.
-
f) From time to time, Lupin Limited and its subsidiaries are involved in various intellectual property claims and legal proceedings, which are considered normal to its business and the liability, if any, may fall on Lupin Limited. Some of these litigations have been resolved through settlement agreements with the plaintiffs.
-
g) There are no contingent liabilities at the joint venture as at 31.03.2024 and 31.03.2023.
The Group does not envisage any likely reimbursements in respect of the above.
The Group is involved in various legal proceedings, including claims against the Group pertaining to Income tax, Excise, Customs, Sales Tax/VAT, product liability related claims, employment claims and other regulatory matters relating to conduct of its business. The Group has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liability where applicable, in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group carries product liability insurance policy with an amount it believes is sufficient for its needs. In respect of other claims, the Group believes that the probability of outflow is low to moderate considering the merits of the case and stages of the litigation, the ultimate disposition of these matters may not have material adverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation of stock options
The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black–Scholes option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:
Share price: The closing price on NSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted.
Exercise Price: Exercise Price is the market price or face value or such other price as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
Expected Volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.
Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.
Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for four years preceding the date of the grant.
Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.
These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company’s control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods,

stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.

The Black-Scholes and Merton option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:
Share price: The fair value of equity shares of Lupin Diagnostics Limited is considered at ₹ 14.2 per share for valuation of ESOP. The fair value of equity shares is derived considering Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method under the income approach of valuation considering the going concern projections for the period FY 2023 to FY 2027.
Exercise Price: The Exercise Price is the price payable by the employee for exercising the ESOP granted in pursuance of the terms of the Plan. As per the ESOP terms provided by Lupin Diagnostics Limited, the exercise price is ₹ 10.0 per share for all the grants.
Expected Volatility: Expected Volatility is calculated on the annualized standard deviation for the historical period corresponding to the expected life of the option.
Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which Lupin Diagnostics Limited expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.
Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been considered as zero.
Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.
These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of Lupin Diagnostics Limited’s control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.

(ii) Employee stock options – Cash settled
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.
Employee benefit expense includes cash settled employee stock options issued to certain employees of Lupin Diagnostics Limited by the Lupin Limited amounting to ₹ 1.8 million (31.03.2023 ₹ 0.6 million).

The estimates of salary escalation considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
| Gratuity | (₹ in million) 31.03.2024 31.03.2023 |
|---|---|
| Increase Decrease Increase Decrease |
|
| Discount Rate (1% movement) | (350.8) 404.7 (318.0) 366.9 |
| Future salary growth (1% movement) | 402.1 (354.8) 365.3 (322.2) |
| Attrition rate (- / + 50% of attrition rates) | (51.1) 59.0 (35.8) 39.0 |
Risk Exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are defined below:
-
Interest Rate risk The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.
-
Investment risk The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
-
Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.
-
B) The provident fund plan of the Company, except at one plant, is operated by “Lupin Limited Employees Provident Fund Trust” (“Trust”), a separate legal entity. Eligible employees receive benefits from the said Provident Fund. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund Plans equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee’s salary.
The minimum interest rate payable by the Trust to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The Board of Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the schemes and also defines the investment strategy to act in the best interest of the plan participants.
The Company has an obligation to service the shortfall on account of interest generated by the fund and on maturity of fund investments and hence the same has been classified as Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits”. As per the Guidance Note from the Actuarial Society of India, the Company has obtained the actuarial valuation of interest rate obligation in respect of Provident Fund as at 31.03.2024 and based on the same, there is no shortfall towards interest rate obligation.

Management judgment is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assets is based on estimates of taxable income and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recovered. Any changes in future taxable income would impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets. During the year, the Group has recognized deferred tax asset of ₹ 28.8 million (31.03.2023 ₹ nil) on unused tax loss. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those recognized deductible differences and tax loss carry forwards.
The current tax in respect of foreign subsidiaries has been computed considering the applicable tax laws and tax rates of the respective countries, as certified by the local tax consultants/local management of the said subsidiaries.

Movement in Goodwill is on account of exchange difference on consolidation amounting to ₹ 411.9 million and acquisition of Medisol S.A.S. in France amounting to ₹ 650.7 million.
The recoverable amounts of the above CGU’s have been assessed using a value-in-use model. Value-in-use is generally calculated as the net present value of the projected post-tax cash flows plus a terminal value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Initially a post-tax discount rate is applied to calculate the net present value of the post-tax cash flows.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below:
The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
The cash flow projections are based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the value in use of cash generating units is better reflected by projections for 10 years due to the business life cycle and longer term gestation of products. The planning horizon reflects the assumptions for short-to-midterm market developments and have been adjusted for the risks of competition, product life cycle etc.
346 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The terminal growth rates used in extrapolating cash flows beyond the planning horizon ranged from -5% to 5.5% for the year ended 31.03.2024 and from -5% to 5% for the year ended 31.03.2023.
Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to a CGU or group of CGUs. The discount rate is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital for respective CGU or group of CGUs. Post-tax discount rate used ranged from 7.2% to 17.6% for the year ended 31.03.2024 and from 8.3% to 21.9% for the year ended 31.03.2023.
The Company believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which a recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGUs.

CGUs where carrying value was higher than recoverable amount were impaired and
-
CGUs where recoverable amount was higher than carrying value were carried at carrying value.
The fair value so used is categorized as a level 3 valuation in line with the fair value hierarchy per requirements of Ind AS 113 “Fair Value Measurement”.
The fair value had been determined with reference to the discounted cash flow technique.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts is as mentioned below. The value assigned to the key assumptions represents management’s assessment of the future trends in the industry and had been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.

Projected cash flows were discounted to present value at a discount rate that is commensurate with all risks of ownership and associated risks of realizing the projected residual profits. Each product category (Currently Marketed Products and approved Post-tax risk adjusted discounting rate ANDAs, Filed ANDAs, and IP R&D) face different risks and accordingly, different discount rates were determined based on each product category’s risk profile. Discount rate was combination of cost of debt and cost of equity. Cost of equity was estimated using capital asset pricing model.
The projected cashflows are discounted at post-tax rate ranging from 7.2% to 17.6%. The terminal growth rate is considered ranging from 5% to -5%.
The cash flow projections are based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the life of intangibles being approx. 10 years. The management has considered ten year growth rate since the same appropriately reflects the period over which the future benefits of the intangibles will accrue to the Company.
Based on the assessment carried out as at March 31, 2024 and after considering performance for the full year ended March 31, 2024, adequate provision is made. Hence, no further provision is required to be made.
During the previous year, an impairment charge of ₹ 398.8 million was recognised.
56. Foreign Currency Translation Reserve
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve represents the net exchange difference on translation of net investment in foreign operations located at Australia, Germany, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, Switzerland, Brazil, USA, Netherlands, France, United Kingdom and Canada from their local currency to the Indian currency. Consequently, in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard 21 (Ind AS 21) “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, the exchange rate difference on translation of ₹ 405.1 million (31.03.2023 ₹ 548.9 million) is credited during the year to such reserve.
57. European Commission Fine
As per best estimates of the management, provision has been made as under:
During the year ended 31.03.2019, the General Court of the European Union delivered its judgement concerning Lupin’s appeal against the European Commission’s (EC) 2014 decision in case of alleged breach of the EU Antitrust Rules in respect of IPs for product Perindopril.

C. Financial risk management:
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
-
Credit risk ;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Market risk
The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The board of directors has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The committee reports to the board of directors on its activities.
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training, standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
i. Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.
Trade receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
As at 31.03.2024, the carrying amount of the Group’s largest customer (a wholesaler based in North America) was ₹ 3,412.9 million (31.03.2023 ₹ 3,354.8 million)
Summary of the Group’s exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is as follows:

Expected credit loss assessment
The Group allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Group to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macro economic indicators affecting customers of the Group have not undergone any substantial change, the Group expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
| Particulars | (₹ in million) As at 31.03.2024 As at 31.03.2023 |
|---|---|
| Balance as at the beginning of the year | 490.8 445.9 |
| Impairment loss recognised (net) | 653.5 79.5 |
| Amounts written off | (126.3) (47.7) |
| Exchange differences | 19.0 13.1 |
| Balance as at theyear end | 1,037.0 490.8 |
Cash and cash equivalents
As at the year end, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of ₹ 9,832.8 million (31.03.2023 ₹ 12,318.1 million). The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks.
Other Bank Balances
Other bank balances are held with banks.
Derivatives
The derivatives are entered into with banks.
Investment in Mutual funds, Non-Convertible debentures and Commercial papers
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities, Non-Convertible debentures and Commercial papers only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Group does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter parties.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets are neither past due nor impaired.
ii. Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. The Group invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and liquid and liquid plus schemes of mutual funds, non-convertible debentures, commercial papers which carry no/low mark to market risks. The Group monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

iii. Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs. The Group uses derivatives to manage market risk. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations in other countries. The functional currency of the Group is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Consequently, the Group uses both derivative instruments, i.e., foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.
The Group enters into foreign currency forward contracts which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes to establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of certain payables/ receivables.
The Group also enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge and manage its foreign currency exposures towards future export earnings. Such derivatives contracts are entered into by the Group for hedging purposes only and are accordingly classified as cash flow hedge.
Following is the derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk:

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates, if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing borrowings is as follows:

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.
remain constant. |

The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.
Commodity rate risk
The Group’s operating activities involve purchase and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), whose prices are exposed to the risk of fluctuation over short periods of time. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through procurement and other related operating policies. As of 31.03.2024 and 31.03.2023 the Group had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
60. Capital Management
The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Group monitors capital using a ratio of ‘adjusted net debt’ to ‘total equity’. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments.
The Group’s policy is to keep the ratio below 1.5. The Group’s adjusted net debt to total equity ratio was as follows:
| Particulars | (₹ in million) As at 31.03.2024 As at 31.03.2023 |
|---|---|
| Total borrowings | 26,699.1 42,440.5 |

61. Hedge Accounting
The Group’s risk management policy is to hedge above 15% of its estimated net foreign currency exposure in respect of highly probable forecast sales over the following 12-24 months at any point in time. The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. Such contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges.
The forward exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. These contracts have a maturity of 12-24 months from the reporting date. The Group’s policy is for the critical terms of the forward exchange contracts to align with the hedged item.
The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Group assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.
In these hedge relationships, changes in timing of the hedged transactions is the main source of hedge ineffectiveness.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Lupin Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the standalone financial statements of Lupin Limited (the “Company”) which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive loss), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2024, and its profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion

Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

The key audit matter Revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products is recognized when control over goods is transferred to a customer. The actual point in time when revenue is recognized varies depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contracts entered with customers. The Company has many customers operating in various geographies and sales contracts with customers have distinct terms relating to the recognition of revenue, the right of return and price adjustments.
How the matter was addressed in our audit To obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures, amongst others, include the following:

The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are 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.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are 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 SAs 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 these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, 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.
-
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 adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements 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 standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date
372 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor’s Report on the Standalone Financial Statements of Lupin Limited for the year ended 31 March 2024
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Lupin Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2024, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the “Guidance Note”).
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 381
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1B. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- a) Basis of accounting and preparation of Standalone Financial Statements:
Basis of preparation
- i) These Standalone Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared and presented in all material aspects in accordance with the principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS’) as notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act and accounting principles generally accepted in India.
Functional and Presentation Currency
- ii) These Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in Indian rupees has been rounded to the nearest million, except otherwise indicated.
Basis of measurement
- iii) The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except
for: (i) certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period; (ii) Non-current assets classified as held for sale which are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell; (iii) derivative financial instrument and (iv) defined benefit plans – plan assets that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services
Use of Significant Estimates and Judgements
- iv) The preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialised. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Management considers the accounting estimates and assumptions discussed below to be its critical accounting estimates and, accordingly, provide an explanation of each below.
Information about critical judgments made in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are included in the following accounting policies.

- b) Property, Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:
I. Recognition and Measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
-
its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
-
any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
-
the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Company incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
-
income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure/item will flow to the company, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
II. Subsequent Expenditure
The subsequent cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the expenditure/item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
III. Depreciation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value, if any.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment of the Company has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act, except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on independent technical evaluation and management’s assessment thereof, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
| Particulars | Estimated Useful Life | |
|---|---|---|
| Improvements on | Over the period of | |
| Leased Premises | lease | |
| Building Plant and Equipment Office Equipment (Desktop and Laptop) |
5 to 80 years 10 to 15 years 4 years |
|
| Furniture & Fixtures | 5 to 10years |
Depreciation method, useful live and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).
IV. Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
- c) Intangible Assets:
I. Recognition and Measurement
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other
390 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.
Expenditure on research and development eligible for capitalization, if any are carried as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.
II. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
III. Derecognition of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are de-recognised either on their disposal or where no future economic benefits are expected from their use. Losses arising on such derecognition are recorded in the profit or loss, and are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of respective intangible assets as on the date of derecognition.
IV. Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on Straight Line Method as follows:
as follows: |
|
|---|---|
| Particulars | Estimated Useful Life |
| Computer Software Trademark and Licenses Dossiers/Marketing Rights Knowhow |
5 to 6 years 4 to 5 years 10 years 5years |
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets and the amortisation period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern, if any.
- d) Non-current assets held for sale:
Assets are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if the asset is available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable. Such assets or group of assets are presented separately in the Balance Sheet as “Assets Classified as Held for Sale”. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.
-
e) Research and Development:
-
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the respective heads in the
Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred. Development costs of products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless following conditions are satisfied in which case such expenditure is capitalized:
-
a product’s technical feasibility has been established
-
development costs can be measured reliably
-
future economic benefits are probable
-
the company intends to and has sufficient resources/ability to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
The amount capitalised comprises of expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis for creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, Plant and Equipment utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, Plant and Equipment.
Expenditure on in-licensed development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised, if the cost can be reliably measured, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Company has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use and sell the asset.
Payments to third parties that generally take the form of up-front payments and milestones for in-licensed products, compounds and intellectual property are capitalised since the probability of expected future economic benefits criterion is always considered to be satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets.
f) Impairment of non-financial assets:
The carrying values of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment exists. The following intangible assets are tested for impairment each financial year even if there is no indication that the assets is impaired:
-
i) an intangible asset that is not yet available for use; and
-
ii) an intangible asset that is having indefinite useful life.
If the carrying amount of the Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 391
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
is recognised for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the cash-generating unit for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the amount was previously charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets, such reversal is not recognised.
-
g) Foreign Currency Transactions/Translations:
-
i) Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded at exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
-
ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate of the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
-
iii) Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at reporting date at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous Standalone Financial Statements are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
-
h) Financial Instruments:
Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
I. Financial Assets Classification
On initial recognition the Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets except Trade receivable are recognised initially at fair value, plus in case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, Company’s trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price under Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
Purchases or sales of financial assets including mututal fund that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial assets at amortised cost
A ‘financial asset’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
-
i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
-
ii) contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
392 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
Financial assets included within the fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in below categories:
-
i) Debt instruments at amortised costs ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
-
iii) Derivative and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-byinstrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when:
-
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
-
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘passthrough’ arrangement; and either:
-
i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
-
ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,but has transferred control of the asset.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
-
i) Trade receivables
-
ii) Financial assets measured at amortised cost (other than trade receivable)
In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Financial assets classified as amortised cost (listed as ii above), subsequent to initial recognition, are assessed for evidence of impairment at end of each reporting period basis monitoring of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forward - looking information.
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 393
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Subsequently, if the credit quality of the financial asset improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL allowance recognised (or reversed) during the period is recognised as expense (or income) in the statement of profit and loss under the head ‘Other expenses’.
Write – off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
II. Financial Liabilities Classification
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, at amortised cost (loans, borrowings and payables) or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The purpose of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
-
i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
ii) Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within other equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation
394 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category generally applies to interestbearing loans and borrowings.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. If not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amount of income recognised.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Embedded derivatives
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope IndAS 109, the Company does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hedge Accounting
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Company designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in (OCI) and accumulated in “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 395
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
in “Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account” is immediately transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
III. Measurement
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
-
(a) Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments quoted in active markets is based on their quoted closing price at the balance sheet date.
-
(b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques using observable market data. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, standard valuation models based on market parameters for interest rates, yield curves or foreign exchange rates, dealer quotes for similar instruments and use of comparable arm’s length transactions.
-
(c) Level 3: The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
i) Business combinations:
-
i) The Company accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgment is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
-
ii) Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive.
-
iii) The Company measures goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities in case such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably). When
the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in the OCI and accumulates the same in equity as Capital Reserve where there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase else the gain is directly recognised in equity as Capital Reserve, without routing the same through OCI.
-
iv) Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Company to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Company. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Consideration transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships.
-
v) Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
-
vi) Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination, such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
-
vii) On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
-
viii) Any goodwill that arises on account of such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
j) Income tax:
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
396 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company:
-
i) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
-
ii) Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes are recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax is not recognized for the temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of transaction.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
The Company recognises deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
-
i) When the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
-
ii) it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:
-
i) The Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognised unless the management based upon its interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter concludes that such benefits will be accepted by the authorities. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts.
- k) Inventories:
Inventories of all procured materials, stock-intrade, finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Cost of raw material, packing materials and stock-in-trade includes all charges in bringing the goods to their present location and condition, including non-creditable taxes and other levies, transit insurance and receiving
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 397
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
charges. However, raw materials and packing materials are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, cost of conversion, non-creditable duties and taxes as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
Cost of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct labour. They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
- l) Goodwill impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the Company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involves, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses.
m) Revenue Recognition:
Sale of Goods
The majority of the Company’s contracts related to product sales include only one performance obligation, which is to deliver products to customers based on purchase orders received. Revenue from sales of products is recognized at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery, which the Company has determined is when physical possession, legal title of the products transfer to the customer and the Company is entitled to payment. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreements.
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the transaction price which is consideration
received or receivable, net of returns, Goods and Service Tax (GST) and applicable trade discounts, allowances and chargeback. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs billed to the customer.
In arriving at the transaction price, the Company considers the terms of the contract with the customers and its customary business practices. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Company accounts for refund liabilities (sales returns) accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Company’s estimate of expected sales returns. The Company considers its historical experience of sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Company’s business and markets. As required under Ind AS 115, the Company has presented its right to return assets under Other Current Assets and refund liabilities under Other Current Liabilities in the financial statements.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by major Products/ Service lines, geography and timing of the revenue recognition.
Any amount of variable consideration is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method.
Income from research services
Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed, or when risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, as applicable.
The Company enters into certain dossier sales, licensing and supply arrangements that, in certain instances, include certain performance obligations. Based on an evaluation of whether or not these obligations are inconsequential or perfunctory, the Company recognise or defer

the upfront payments received under these arrangements. Deferred upfront payments are recognised over the period in which the Company has continuing performance obligations.
Income from Export Benefits and Other Incentives
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and / or services are rendered only when there reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.
- n) Other Income:
Interest income
Interest income is recognised with reference to the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income
Dividend from investment is recognised as revenue when right to receive is established.
- o) Employee Benefits:
Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided and the Company will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the reporting date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid.
Defined benefit plans
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed periodically by an independent
qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (asset) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is measured on the basis of a periodical independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Other Benefit Plans
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The company recognizes expected cost of shortterm employee benefit as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial

valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
- p) Share-based payment transactions: Employees Stock Options Plans (“ESOPs”): The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The expense is recorded for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The increase in equity recognized in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in Other Equity under “Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve”. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.
Cash-settled Transactions: The cost of cashsettled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense. The approach used to account for vesting conditions when measuring equity-settled transactions also applies to cash-settled transactions.
q) Leases:
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.
Company as a lessee
The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.
i) Right-of-Use Assets
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of- use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
ii) Lease Liabilities
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate (IBR). The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of

Notes

a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.
- iii) Short-term lease and leases of low value assets
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to shortterm leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- r) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are disclosed for:
-
i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or
-
ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
- s) Cash and Cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, cash at bank and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.
- t) Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the effective interest rate (EIR) applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs, allocated to qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/ development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalisation of such asset or upto the date the assets are ready for its intended use are added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period which they are incurred.

u) Government Grants:
Government grants are initially recognised at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant;
-
In case of capital grants, they are then recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
-
In case of grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised.
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and / or services are rendered only when there reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.
The Company has received approval under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme of the Government of India for specific product categories. Incentive under the scheme is subject to meeting certain committed investments and defined incremental sales threshold. Such grants are recognised as other operating revenue when there is a reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with all necessary conditions attached to the grant. Income from such grants is recognised on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate.
v) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the events for bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does
not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.
w) Insurance claims:
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect the ultimate collection.
x) Current vs Non Current:
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / noncurrent classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
-
Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
-
Held primarily for the purpose of trading
-
Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
-
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
-
It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
-
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
-
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
1C. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has not notified any new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time which are applicable effective 1[st] April 2024.

Valuation of stock options
The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black–Scholes option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:
Share price: The closing price on NSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted.
Exercise Price: Exercise Price is the market price or face value or such other price as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
420 LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2023-2024
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
Expected Volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.
Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.
Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for four years preceding the date of the grant.
Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.
These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company’s control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.
The weighted average inputs used in computing the fair value of options granted were as follows:

(ii) Employee stock options – Cash settled
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.

Risk Exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are defined below:
Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 423
Notes
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
Interest Rate risk The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability. Investment risk The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment. Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.
-
B) The provident fund plan of the Company, except at one plant, is operated by “Lupin Limited Employees Provident Fund Trust” (“Trust”), a separate legal entity. Eligible employees receive benefits from the said Provident Fund. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund Plans equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee’s salary.
-
The minimum interest rate payable by the Trust to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The Board of Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the schemes and also defines the investment strategy to act in the best interest of the plan participants.
-
The Company has an obligation to service the shortfall on account of interest generated by the fund and on maturity of fund investments and hence the same has been classified as Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits”. As per the Guidance Note from the Actuarial Society of India, the Company has obtained the actuarial valuation of interest rate obligation in respect of Provident Fund as at 31.03.2024 and based on the same, there is no shortfall towards interest rate obligation. Based on the actuarial valuation obtained, the following is the details of fund and plan assets.

47. Impairment of Product Related Intangibles (IPs)
Following our annual impairment review, we have recognized impairment charges in the standalone profit and loss account in relation to intangibles assets both commercialised and under development as follows:
relation to intangibles assets both commercialised and under development as follows: |
|
|---|---|
| Impairment | ₹ in million |
| Intangible assets commercialised | 240.2 |
| Intangible assets under development | 1,253.7 |
| Total | 1,493.9 |
Intangible assets commercialised:
The impairment of intangibles relate to IPs acquired as part of the acquisition from Anglo French Drugs and Industries Limited (AFDIL), related to India market. The impairment was primarily carried out on account of (i) Certain Fixed Dose Combination (FDCs) ban by government and (ii) lower offtake of few brands in generics market, coupled with low margins.
Intangible assets under development:
During FY 2017-18, the Company had acquired from its subsidiary an IP to further develop and commercialise. During the current year, the Company after factoring the risk and reward associated with the IP, the various alternatives available in the market of the product has decided not to further pursue the development and accordingly recorded an impairment of ₹ 1,253.7 million.
The impairment has been determined by considering each individual intangible asset as a cash generating unit (CGU). Recoverable amount of CGUs for which impairment is done is ₹ 136.2 million. Recoverable amount (i.e. higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell) of each individual CGU was compared to carrying value and impairment amount was arrived as follows:
-
CGUs where carrying value was higher than recoverable amount were impaired and
-
CGUs where recoverable amount was higher than carrying value were carried at carrying value
The fair value so used is categorized as a level 3 valuation in line with the fair value hierarchy per requirements of Ind AS 113 “Fair Value Measurement”.
The fair value has been determined with reference to the discounted cash flow technique.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts is as mentioned below. The value assigned to the key assumptions represents management’s assessment of the future trends in the industry and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
==> picture [486 x 102] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Assumptions How determined
Projected cash flows Based on past experience and adjusted for the following:
- Current market dynamics
- Anticipated competition
Long term growth rate Long term growth rate has been determined with reference to market dynamics of each individual product
Post-tax risk adjusted Projected cash flows were discounted to present value at a discount rate that is commensurate with all risks
discounting rate of ownership and associated risks of realizing the projected residual profits. Each product category (Currently
Marketed Products and approved ANDAs, Filed ANDAs, and IP R&D) face different risks and accordingly different
discount rates were determined based on each product category’s risk profile. Discount rate was combination
of cost of debt and cost of equity. Cost of equity was estimated using capital asset pricing model.
----- End of picture text -----
The projected cashflows are discounted at post-tax rate ranging from 7.2% to 17.6%. The terminal growth rate is considered ranging from 5% to -5%.
The cash flow projections are based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the life of intangibles being approx. ten years. The management has considered ten year growth rate since the same appropriately reflects the period over which the future benefits of the intangibles will accrue to the Company. Based on the assessment carried out as at March 31, 2024 and after considering performance for the full year ended March 31, 2024, adequate provision is made. Hence, no further provision is required to be made.

Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management:
A. Accounting classification and fair values:
Carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy, are presented below. It does not include the fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Fair value hierarchy
-
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair value. The cost of unquoted investments approximates the fair value because there is wide range of possible fair value measurements and the costs represents estimate of fair value within that range.

C. Financial risk management:
-
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments: - Credit risk ;
-
Liquidity risk; and
-
Market risk
The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The board of directors has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The committee reports to the board of directors on its activities.
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training, standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
i. Credit risk:
- Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.
Trade receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
As at 31.03.2024, the carrying amount of the Company’s largest customer (a wholly owned subsidiary in the USA) was ₹ 20,818.5 million (31.03.2023 ₹ 9,257.4 million).

Expected credit loss assessment
The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement. Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macroeconomic indicators affecting customers of the Company have not undergone any substantial change, the Company expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue.

- Guarantees issued by the Company on behalf of subsidiaries are with respect to borrowings raised by the respective subsidiary. These amounts will be payable on default by the concerned subsidiary. As of the reporting date none of the subsidiary have defaulted and hence the Company does not have any present obligation to third parties in relation to such guarantees (Refer note 56C).
iii. Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, the Company exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risk. Generally, the Company seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations in other countries. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Consequently, the Company uses both derivative instruments, i.e., foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes to establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of certain payables/ receivables.
The Company also enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge and manage its foreign currency exposures towards future export earnings. Such derivatives contracts are entered into by the Company for hedging purposes only and are accordingly classified as cash flow hedge.
Following is the derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk:

Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against foreign currency at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates, if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Company’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing borrowings is as follows:

Total 181.3 6,134.6
----- End of picture text -----
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments
The Company does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.
| Particulars | (₹ in million) Profit or (loss) |
|---|---|
| 100 bp increase 100 bp decrease |

| Variable-rate borrowings | (7.8) 7.8 |
The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.
Commodity rate risk
The Company’s operating activities involve purchase and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), whose prices are exposed to the risk of fluctuation over short periods of time. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through procurement and other related operating policies. As of 31.03.2024 and 31.03.2023 the Company had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
54. Capital Management
The Company’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company monitors capital using a ratio of ‘adjusted net debt’ to ‘total equity’. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments.

55. Hedge Accounting
The Company’s risk management policy is to hedge above 15% of its estimated net foreign currency exposure in respect of highly probable forecast sales over the following 12-24 months at any point in time. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. Such contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges.
The forward exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. These contracts have a maturity of 12-24 months from the reporting date. The Company’s policy is for the critical terms of the forward exchange contracts to align with the hedged item.
The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Company assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.
In these hedge relationships, changes in timing of the hedged transactions is the main source of hedge ineffectiveness.
