ECONOMIC OVERVIEW Global Economy
In 2024, the world economy grew 3.3% maintaining the pace of growth amidst geopolitical tensions. The growth was not uniform across countries with robust momentum
in the US in contrast to slower growth witnessed in the Euro region. Global disinflation continued, with progress stalling in some countries and elevated inflation continued in a few cases.
In 2025 and 2026, growth is projected at 2.8% and 3% respectively, led by the swift escalation of trade tensions and extremely high levels of policy uncertainty. A series of new tariff measures have been announced and implemented by the United States with countermeasures by its trading partners, especially China. However, the US announced a 90-day pause on import duties for most of the countries, and both US and China have agreed to a tariff reduction thereby easing trade tensions between both the countries for the said period. These tariff measures have raised concerns over a global trade war. As prices become volatile, global commodity market is grappling with new challenges. The uncertainty created by trade wars impacts supply chains and global economic growth. Easing tensions in the Middle East and a ceasefire among nations are expected to have a positive impact on the global economy.
Increasing debt burdens, weak investment and sluggish productivity growth, coupled with rising costs of climate change is likely to dampen growth in emerging markets and developing economies. High global policy uncertainty could undercut investor confidence and constrain financing flows. Rising trade tensions could reduce global growth. Persistent inflation could delay expected cuts in interest rates.

Indian Economy
Indian economy has emerged as one of the fastest- growing major economies in the recent past. This robust growth amidst weak global economic growth is attributable to strong domestic demand, structural reforms and policy support. As per the Second Advance Estimates of GDP, Indias GDP growth is expected at 6.5% in FY2025, much lower than 9.2% GDP growth in FY2024. Manufacturing, services and infrastructure investment sectors witnessed good traction. Slower GDP growth in the first half of the year is attributable to lower industrial activity. Election uncertainties in the first quarter followed by a modest activity in construction and manufacturing in the subsequent quarter due to weather- related disruptions led to weaker-than-expected gross fixed capital formation. Strong export growth was seen in pharmaceuticals, textiles and engineering goods.
Inflation continued to persist in FY2025 led by global supply chain disruptions and commodity price volatility. The RBIs Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) retained a neutral stance and reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.0% on April 10, 2025, the second cut in 2025. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for FY2025 is projected at 4.7% as compared to 5.4% in FY2024. Inflation in March 2025 was at 3.3%, lowest since August 2019.
Economic growth has received major boost by the governments push for digital transformation, financial inclusion and ease of doing business. There has been substantial rise in foreign direct investment (FDI) due to the production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing. Building on this positive momentum, the RBI has estimated the Indian economic growth rate of 6.7% in FY2026. Healthy Rabi prospects and an expected recovery in industrial activity, coupled with heightened household consumption aided by tax reliefs in Union Budget 2025-26, is expected to support economic growth in FY2026. However, the rising cross border tensions stands out as a key concern.

Key government policies aiding pharmaceutical R&D and exports
As India aims to expand its global market share, meeting international quality standards like those set by the US FDA and the EMA is crucial. The government has taken various measures to support the sector like the PLI scheme and Strengthening of Pharmaceuticals Industry (SPI) among others. The government has tightened regulations and inspections to ensure adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). This has led to improved manufacturing processes and quality control measures within the industry. The adoption of advanced technologies like automation, data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence is enhancing quality control processes and enhancing process efficiency. Joining the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S), an international association of 56 regulatory authorities, represents a strategic opportunity for India. By aligning Indias GMP standards with international benchmarks, PIC/S membership will boost trust in Indian pharmaceuticals.
In the Union Budget 2025, there was a clear focus on improvement of medical infrastructure, expansion of medical education, promotion of medical tourism and Heal in India campaign and boost to private sector-driven R&D and innovation. The government has announced setting up of Day Care Cancer Centres in all district hospitals over the next 3 years, with 200 such centres planned for FY2026. The government announced several exemptions and concessional duty on essential medicines to improve drug access to critical treatments across the country. Focus on expansion of medical education and funding research fellowship, will help strengthen the overall healthcare workforce, infrastructure and push for innovation. Additionally, broadband connectivity to all Primary Health Centres (PHCs) will enhance rural healthcare delivery through telemedicine. Governments strong focus on medical tourism, healing in India, increased FDI limit in the insurance sector and nutritional programmes will enable strengthening of public health. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), under the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP), is responsible for fixing the ceiling prices of medicines listed in the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM). As of March 12, 2025, the ceiling prices for 928 scheduled formulations and the retail prices for over 3,200 new drugs have been set by the NPPA. The latest fixation and refixation of prices under the NLEM has led to an average price reduction of approximately 17%, resulting in an estimated annual savings of 3,788 crore for patients across the country.
The government is undertaking several other measures to boost overall growth of IPM. In 2008, the Jan Aushadhi Yojana was launched to increase the uptake of low-cost, unbranded, but quality generic medicines to all citizens via stores called Jan Aushadhi Kendras. Governments Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, the largest health assurance scheme in the world, aims to provide a health cover of 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation to over 107.4 million poor and vulnerable families comprising the bottom 40% of the Indian population.
Outlook
The Indian pharmaceuticals industry also stands to benefit from the patent cliffing of 20-25 high-revenue drugs due in FY2026, with Indian companies introducing more affordable alternatives. For example, on March 11, 2025, the patent on Boehringer Ingelheims version of Empagliflozin expired, allowing Indian pharma firms to introduce alternate low-priced versions. In a huge relief to over 10 crore diabetes patients in India, the cost of Empagliflozin, an essential anti-diabetic medicine, decreased from 60 to 9 per tablet due to patent cliffing. In the coming years, several more patents will expire including the GLP-1 drug from Novo Nordisk set to expire in March 2026.
Between 2023 and 2029, patents for more than 100 critical drugs used in treating cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders will expire. These drugs collectively account for a significant portion of the global pharmaceutical market, with total annual sales exceeding US$ 300 billion.
Further in Womens Health, India has witnessed a significant surge in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) services, attributed to various factors such as late marriages, increased pregnancy age, growing infertility rates, rising disposable income, and greater awareness about infertility treatments. As per the current market research conducted by the CMI Team, Indian IVF services market is expected to record a CAGR of 16.23% from 2025 to 2034 with market size anticipated to reach USD 4,915.01 million.
Combined together, there remains a huge growth opportunity for Indian pharma companies which have a stronghold on generics. Indias pharmaceutical industry is estimated to reach US$ 120-130 billion by 2030 and US$ 400-450 billion by 2047 led by rising lifestyle diseases, an aging population, increased focus on holistic health, strong government push and the growing consumerisation of healthcare. With rise in streamlining of regulatory reforms in India, there is expected to be substantial growth in R&D and innovation.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Mankind Pharma Limited (hereafter referred to as Mankind or the Company) is engaged in developing, manufacturing and marketing a diverse range of pharmaceutical formulations across various acute and chronic therapeutic areas, as well as several consumer healthcare products with the aim of providing quality products at affordable prices, accessible to all.
Since commencement of business in 1995, the company has pursued a disruption-led growth, securing market leading positions. The Company began by addressing the unmet need for affordable medicine in rural and smaller towns, where healthcare was not easily accessible and often very expensive. After developing a strong foothold in one state, the company gradually expanded to neighbouring states and ultimately established a pan- India presence.
Having established a credible presence in the Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM), the company aspired to make the Mankind brand a household name. In pursuit of this vision, the Company entered the consumer healthcare segment in 2007 with the launch of category-disrupting brands such as Manforce and Prega News.
Between 2012 and 2015, the Company established a state-of-the-art R&D centre and expanded globally by setting up subsidiaries in the US and Singapore. Demonstrating our commitment to quality, we received USFDA approval for our Paonta Sahib facility in Himachal Pradesh in 2018-19. In the same year, backed by a team of experienced scientists, we became the first Indian company to manufacture and launch Dydrogesterone.
By 2020, while we had developed a strong penetration among GPs, CPs, our reach amongst MDs, DMS, and KOLs remained limited and required focussed attention. Recognising this gap, we adopted initiatives to further expand our presence in chronic by launching 10+ specialty divisions headquartered in Mumbai, targeting cardio vascular, respiratory, CNS, and Anti-diabetes therapies etc.
While most of the growth of Mankind has been primarily organic, the Company has also entered strategic tie-ups for business expansion including, acquisition of brands like Combihale (respiratory) and Daffy (dermatology) from Dr. Reddys Laboratories. The Company also acquired brands from Panacea Biotech to foray into difficult-to-enter specialities like transplant and oncology. Additionally, it has also entered into an exclusive distribution agreement to sell Symbicort, one of the most advanced inhalers for asthma in-licensed from AstraZeneca in India. The Company also has other strategic in-licensing deals with Novartis, Biocon, Innovent Biologicals and Takeda for speciality products.
The strong brand equity is a result of superior quality value product offering which meets stringent quality parameters. In line with our commitment towards providing quality products, we launched DMF (Drug master file) / International grade quality products in India, till now we have launched 240+ products under this initiative with majority of them being in Chronic. Further, we are also focussing on innovative packaging of our products which not only increases customer satisfaction but also helps counter chances of counterfeit products.
By 2024, the Company had undertaken several initiatives to expand its presence in the super-specialty segment. However, the acquisition of BSV in October 2024 marked a significant leap forward, enabling entry into complex super-specialty therapies and access to an advanced R&D platform supported by a highly experienced scientific team.
Currently, in pharmaceuticals, the portfolio caters to 10+ acute & chronic therapeutic areas including anti-infectives, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, gynaecology, antidiabetic, neuro/CNS, VMN, respiratory, etc.
In Consumer Healthcare, the Company offers several differentiated brands in condoms, pregnancy detection, antacid powders, vitamin and mineral supplements, oral contraceptives, anti-acne preparations categories, etc.
We have laid a strong foundation for Mankinds long-term sustainable growth, powered by our four pillars:
The Company has 32 state-of-the-art manufacturing and 6 R&D facilities with over 95% raw materials being locally procured. Over 75% in-house manufacturing enables Mankind to have a stringent control on quality, ensure timely deliveries and efficient supply chain management with limited dependence on imports.
