We continue to focus on increasing API supplies for captive consumption relating to our key products.

Research – Investing for future
Consolidated R&D investment for Q2FY22 was Rs. 5,364 million as compared to Rs. 6,127 million for Q2 last year. The reduction is due to spill-over of certain clinical studies into subsequent quarters. For the first half, R&D expense was Rs. 11,290 million, or 5.9% of sales.
Our R&D efforts span across both specialty and generic businesses and we continue to invest in building the pipeline for various markets including the US, Emerging Markets, RoW Markets and for India. We have a comprehensive product offering in the US market consisting of approved ANDAs for 508 products while filings for 88 ANDAs await US FDA approval, including 20 tentative approvals.
