Unichem Laboratories Limited (Unichem), a subsidiary of Ipca Laboratories Limited (Ipca) along with other group companies is serving customers located across the globe. All entities are engaged in highly regulated business of manufacturing/marketing of pharmaceuticals and related products. In this business, it is not possible to change the approved source of materials as the same is approved by regulatory authorities from different countries. It is also important in the pharmaceutical business to maintain confidentiality/intellectual property rights. Considering the above, it is generally not feasible to conduct the business covered under these related party transactions with third parties. However, transactions are on arm’s length basis and in the ordinary course of business as well as in compliance with transfer pricing norms with terms and conditions that are generally prevalent in the industry segments that the Company operates in. While entities belong to the Ipca Group, each operates independently with distinct commercial responsibilities. The transactions are designed to harness group synergies, ensure continuity and reliability in the supply of goods and services.
Loans and Advances or Royalty is not planned for the year except Royalty being received by Unichem for ANDAs acquired from Bayshore Pharmaceuticals LLC in the previous year which is being manufactured from third party by WOS, Unichem USA. Further Loans and advances, if transacted, will always be in compliance with Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013 (Act) and shall be carried out on arm’s length basis.

| market. This strategic initiative will enable Unichem USA to capitalize on Ipca’s regulatory approvals and pipeline strength, positioning the company for accelerated growth. The proposed arrangement is expected to deliver substantial cost efficiencies by reducing marketing, logistics, warehousing, and other overhead expenses as a percentage of sales. Further this will not require additional manpower or administrative resources, ensuring a seamless integration into existing operations. Hence, this collaboration will enhance Unichem USA’s revenue and profitability while strengthening its overall market presence. By aligning with Ipca’s capabilities, Unichem USA will gain a competitive edge and reinforce its position as a trusted player in the U.S. generics segment. |
The transactions between Unichem and Unichem USA are expected to exceed the threshold prescribed under Regulation 23(1) of the SEBI Listing Regulations.
