CHAPTER – I PROFILE OF INDUSTRIES

1.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

On 1st May 1960 Gujarat State got separated from greater Bombay State. Prior to

that, about hundred years, Gujarat based Companies like Alembic Chemical Works

Ltd. and Sarabhai Chemicals were producing Galenicals, Syrups, Elixirs, Powders,

and Extracts etc.

At the time of independence, India was not self-sufficient for medicines. Many of the

formulations and bulk drugs were imported. Exports of medicine were almost

negligible. Total production of Pharmaceutical products in 1947, the year of

independence - was in the tune of Rs.100 million only. 1

According to data published by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of

Chemicals and Fertilizers, the total turnover of India's pharmaceuticals industry

between September 2008 and September 2009 was US$ 21.04 billion. Of this the

domestic market was worth US$ 12.26 billion.

The Indian pharmaceuticals market is expected to reach US$ 55 billion in 2020 from

US$ 12.6 billion in 2009, according to a report ‘India Pharma 2020: Propelling access

and acceptance, realizing true potential’ by McKinsey & Company. The report states

that the market has the further potential to reach US$ 70 billion by 2020 in an

aggressive growth scenario.

Moreover, according to an Ernst & Young and industry body study, the increasing

population of the higher-income group in the country, will open a potential US$ 8

billion market for multinational companies selling costly drugs by 2015. Besides, the

report said the domestic pharma market is estimated to touch US$ 20 billion by 2015,

making India a lucrative destination for clinical trials for global giants.

Further, IMS Health India, which tracks drug sales in the country through a network

of nationwide drug distributors, estimates the healthcare market in India to reach US$

31.59 billion by 2020.The Indian pharmaceutical market reached US$ 10.04 billion in

size, with a value-wise growth rate of 20.4 per cent over the previous year’s

2

corresponding period on a Moving Annual Total (MAT) basis for the 12 months

ended July 2010, according to data from IMS Health India.

Cipla maintained its leadership position in the domestic market with 5.27 per cent

share, followed by Ranbaxy. The highest growth in the domestic market was for

Mankind Pharma, which grew 37.2 per cent. Leading companies in the domestic

market such as Sun Pharma (25.7 per cent), Abbott (25 per cent), Zydus Cadila

(24.1 per cent), Alkem Laboratories (23.3 per cent), Pfizer (23.6 per cent), GSK India

(19 per cent), Piramal Healthcare (18.6 per cent) and Lupin (18.8 per cent) had

impressive growth during July 2010, shows the data.

According to the All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD), the

pharmaceuticals industry in India will grow by over 100 per cent over the next two

years.

According to Shinde, President, AIOCD, the pharmaceutical industry is currently

growing at the rate of 12 per cent, but this will accelerate soon. The sale of all types of

medicines in the country stands at US$ 9.61 billion, which is expected to reach around

US$ 19.22 billion by 2012.

India's domestic pharmaceutical market is valued approximately at US$ 12 billion in

2010, and has shown a strong growth of 21.3 per cent for the 12 months ending

September 2010, as per consulting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC). It estimates

that over the next 10 years, the domestic market will grow to US$ 49 billion, at a

compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 per cent.

According to Mr Srikant Kumar Jena, Union Minister of State for Chemicals and

Fertilisers, India tops the world in exporting generic medicines worth US$ 11 billion

and currently, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is one of the world's largest and

most developed.2

The industry was once tarnished for making cheap clones of Western medicines and

selling them in developing countries. However, this is no longer the case, seasoned in

the basics of medicine making; it is now playing a significant role in the global drug

industry. The strengthening of patent law and the increasing cost pressures on name-

brand drug makers in the West are fueling the growth tempo of Indian drugs industry.

According to the consultancy KPMG, the industry is expected to grow at a compound

3

annual growth rate of about 18% till 2013-14. The Indian pharmaceutical market has

become the third largest in the world in terms of volume and is ranked 14th in terms of

value at over Rs.1 trillion. During 2009-10, Indian pharmaceutical was among the few

sectors that managed revenue growth despite the global economic recession. Another

positive development has been the development of biotechnology sector in India.

Driven by increasing affordability, the industry is undergoing a major transformation

and is slated to move into the world’s top-ten pharmaceutical market by 2015.

During the 1990s, there were hardly any exports to regulated markets from India.

However, today over 40% of $8 billion exports to North America and Western Europe

alone. The industry has a presence in 150 markets, which is more than any industry in

India. According to the US Food and Drug Administration data, it also accounts for

1,735 Drug Master Files as against 1,054 from US domestic companies and more than

the combined total of European and Japanese companies in 2008. This is a remarkable

achievement in a decade. In 1998, India filed only three Abbreviated New Drug

Applications (ANDAs). In 2009, it filed 181 ANDAs.3

The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than 20,000

registered units. It has expanded drastically in the last two decades. The leading 250

4

pharmaceutical companies control 70% of the market with market leader holding

nearly 7% of the market share. It is an extremely fragmented market with severe price

competition and government price control.

The pharmaceutical industry in India meets around 70% of the country's demand for

bulk drugs, drug intermediates, pharmaceutical formulations, chemicals, tablets,

capsules, orals and injectibles. There are about 250 large units and about 8000 Small

Scale Units, which form the core of the pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5

Central Public Sector Units). These units produce the complete range of

pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., medicines ready for consumption by patients and

about 350 bulk drugs, i.e., chemicals having therapeutic value and used for production

of pharmaceutical formulations.

Following the de-licensing of the pharmaceutical industry, industrial licensing for

most of the drugs and pharmaceutical products has been done away with.

Manufacturers are free to produce any drug duly approved by the Drug Control

Authority. Technologically strong and totally self-reliant, the pharmaceutical industry

in India has low costs of production, low R&D costs, innovative scientific manpower,

strength of national laboratories and an increasing balance of trade. The

Pharmaceutical Industry, with its rich scientific talents and research capabilities,

supported by Intellectual Property Protection regime is well set to take on the

international market.4

Aggregate net sales of 132 pharmaceutical companies consisting of 125 domestic and

seven MNC subsidiaries and associates posted an 11% increase to Rs.13690 crore in

the quarter ended June 2009. Revenue growth from the EU and the US regions was hit

despite improvement in volumes. This is mainly due to the sharp appreciation of the

Indian rupee against the pound euro and US dollar. As a result of rise in sales and

expansion of margin, operating profit rose 22% to Rs.3051 crore. Capacity expansion

and rising interest rates together led to a 72% spike in interest costs to Rs.235 crore

and 11% increase in depreciation to Rs.404 crore, respectively. Thus, growth in profit

before tax was restricted to 11% to Rs.2410 crore. Aggregate net profit of 125

domestic pharmaceutical companies posted an impressive rise of 24% in net profit to

Rs.1755 crore on healthy growth in net sales by 11% to Rs.12397 crore.5

5

The Indian pharmaceutical industry reported double-digit growth in net profit in the

quarter ended September 2010. Rupee appreciation, rise in employee costs and

increase in raw material prices dampened the show. Aggregate net sales of 138

companies constituting 131 domestic pharmaceutical companies and seven MNC’s

pharmaceutical subsidiaries and associates grew 14% to Rs.19044 crore in the quarter

ended September 2010 over the September 2009 quarter. Aggregate net sales of 16

BSE Healthcare Index companies (excluding Piramal Healthcare as it has earned a

one-time exceptional income of Rs.16224 crore) grew 18% to Rs.14764.21 crore

despite the rupee appreciation affected growth to some extent in the quarter ended

September 2010. Net profit increased 30% to Rs.2636.62 crore on forex gains.

MNC companies reported better performance than domestic pharmaceutical

companies by growth in turnover and profit. Aggregate net sales of seven MNC

pharmaceutical companies jumped 15% to Rs.1463 crore.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is witnessing sluggish prescription trends, pricing

pressure from the European Union, intensified generic competition, and pricing

reforms by Germany. The growth is especially coming from the US, Russia and CIS

regions.6

India is a low-cost hub for Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS),

and with many big pharmaceutical companies finding it difficult to grow, focus is

shifting towards India. Till 2008, developed pharmaceutical markets (US, Canada,

UK, Western Europe and Japan) contributed more than 50% of global pharmaceutical

growth and held a disproportional tilt in the market. A group of seven emerging

markets – now rechristened as ‘pharmerging countries’, i.e., Brazil, India, Turkey,

Mexico, Russia, South Korea and China- are eclipsing those developed countries now.

By 2013, these markets are expected to contribute 70% of the global pharmaceutical

market growth.7

In October 2010, the pharmaceutical industry posted a substantially lower growth of

6.5%, as against 20% in September 2010, mainly due to lower sales of anti-infective

and cough and cold medicines. In October 2009, the domestic retail market had

clocked a huge growth of nearly 30%, while during the previous year in October

2008, it posted a negative growth.8

According to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, India will join the league of the top

10 global pharmaceutical markets in terms of sales by 2020 with the total reaching

$50 billion.9

1.2 PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IN GUJARAT

Gujarat's pharmaceutical industry, which led the way with indigenous production of

medicines and the march towards self-sufficiency in drugs and pharmaceuticals in a

newly-independent India, completes its centenary this year.

While Bengal Chemicals, now closed, was the first modern pharmaceutical company

in India, Vadodara based Alembic Ltd, the second, celebrated its centenary in 2007.

The State was the first to manufacture APIs and finished dosage form in India,

manufacture pharmaceutical machinery, lead the way with clinical research

organizations and become the first to undertake pre-clinical safety and toxicology

studies in the country.

Alembic’s potent combination of pioneering vision, entrepreneurial spirit, sound

infrastructure and the ability to adapt to the changing times have helped shape Gujarat

as a pharma hub. From its beginning in 1907 when Alembic was set up in the then

princely state of Baroda, the state today serves as the corporate headquarters and a

7

manufacturing base for several leading Indian pharmaceutical companies and

multinationals.

Gujarat has four pharma manufacturing clusters at Ahmedabad, Vadodara,

Ankleshwar and Bharuch-Vapi-Valsad belt.10 Being home to around 3,500 drug

manufacturing units, Gujarat is one of the country’s most enterprising states in the

pharmaceutical sector. It boasts of 42 percent share of India’s pharmaceutical turnover

and 22 percent share of exports.11

The industry had received strong support from the academic field. In 1940, the Drugs

Laboratory in Vadodara was established, followed by LM College of Pharmacy.

Further in 1989, the B.V.Patel Education Trust, Ahmedabad and Gujarat Branch of

Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA) established the B.V. Patel Pharmaceutical

Education and Research Development (PERD) Centre in Ahmedabad.12

45% of the pharmaceuticals used by the nation also happen to be from Gujarat.13

The present research covers the study of the below mentioned five pharmaceutical

companies in the state of Gujarat.

Alembic Limited

Torrent Pharmaceutical Limited

Cadila Healthcare

Sun pharmaceutical

Lupin Laboratories Ltd.

A brief profile of the above mentioned companies is as follows.

1.3 PROFILE OF ALEMBIC LIMITED

One of the oldest pharmaceutical companies in India, Alembic formerly known as

Alembic Chemical Works Company has already completed 100 years of operations.

Among other things, the company makes Glycodin, the most trusted cough syrup for

over 50 years. It manufactures pharmaceuticals and chemicals, bulk drugs (penicillin

and other antibiotics) and formulations. In 1995, the veterinary division of the

company was tied up with the animal health division of Hindustan Ciba-Giegy to

export eight veterinary products to Ciba (Bangladesh). In 1998-99, the installation

work of Cephalosporin-C recovery plant has been completed and that of 7-ACA was

8

commissioned in Oct.,2000.The Bulk Drug unit of Darshak Limited was amalgamated

with the company with the approval of High court of Gujarat and the legal formalities

was also completed w.e.f. 16.09.2002. As per the scheme, the shareholders of

Darshak Ltd were allotted shares in the ratio of 6 shares of Alembic for every 100

shares of Darshak Ltd. In Feb. 2001, the company has launched Glycodin Activ cold

and flu tablets that are available over-the-counter (OTC) at Rs 12 (local taxes extra)

for a blister pack of 10. The company got ISO-9002 and ISO-14001 certification.

Needless to say, Alembic has a turnover and growth rate that takes it into the top

bracket of Indian pharmaceutical companies with a series of brands among the top

five in their respective categories.

Alembic is a certified ISO-9002 and ISO-14001 company with manufacturing

practices and facilities that conform to WHO-GMP guidelines ensuing that every

Alembic product meets the most stringent quality standards. No wonder, then,

Alembic can be found improving the quality of life in over 75 countries around the

world.15

1.4 PROFILE OF TORRENT PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

It all began with the toil of one enterprising individual, Shri. U N Mehta, when he

ventured on his own to create history in the Indian pharmaceutical industry by

implementing successfully the concept of niche marketing. His journey, characterized

by ups and downs, reached a milestone in 1970, with the launch of Trinicalm Plus, an

effective tranquilizer in the niche segment, central nervous system (CNS).

The foundations for Torrent were laid when 'Trinity Laboratories' began operations

under the able guidance of Shri Mehta whose efforts are worthy of emulation.

'Trinity' was renamed 'Torrent' and with this not only did the company get a new

name, it also focused on establishing its own manufacturing facilities in the early 80s.

Torrent augmented its efforts with the expansion of its manufacturing capacity,

emphasis on marketing and creating business opportunities through focus on exports.

Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited recorded a quantum leap in the year 1994. It has also

been rated India's ninth best company among capital intensive companies in terms of

ROCE in a study by ETIG-BCG in 2001.

In recognition of the consistent performance Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited has

been receiving accolades from various quarters, such as the President's award for

highest pharmaceuticals exports of Rs.1570 million in 1991-92. The Company that

had a humble beginning has now grown to become one of the leading players in

pharmaceuticals.16

The flagship company of Torrent group, Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited, is a

dominant player in the therapeutic areas of cardiovascular (CV) and central nervous

system (CNS) and has achieved significant presence in gastro-intestinal, diabetology,

anti-infective and pain management segments.

To cater to new niche segments and sharpen its focus among customers, Torrent

Pharma has six marketing divisions, each catering to defined therapeutic segment. A

2300 strong field force caters to around 2,00,000 doctors across the country, which

makes it rank fifth in terms of market reach.

Torrent Pharma’s competitive advantage as a manufacturer stems from its world-class

manufacturing facilities. Its manufacturing facilities at Indrad, Gujarat, comply with

WHO, cGMP, MHRA and TGA norms and have received ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and

10

OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) and ISO/IEC-

17025 certifications.

With a view to cater to its growth requirements, Torrent Pharma commissioned a new

formulations manufacturing facility at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, in November 2005.

The facility has a capacity to manufacture 3600 million tablets, 400 million capsules

and 18 million Oral Liquid bottles, per annum and would cater to the domestic

formulations requirement.

Torrent has a modern and well-equipped state-of-the-art R&D Centre, built with an

excellence in International Business, Torrent Pharma has won several prestigious

export awards.

Torrent Pharma is now gearing up to enter the advanced highly regulated international

markets. Torrent Pharma has incorporated Zao Torrent Pharma in Russia, Torrent Do

Brasil Ltd. in Brazil, Torrent Pharma GmbH in Germany, Torrent Pharma Inc. in

USA and Torrent Pharma Philippines Inc. in Philippines. These wholly owned

subsidiaries will become a springboard for entry into several regulated and less

regulated international markets.17

1.5 PROFILE OF SUN PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Sun Pharma began in 1983 with just 5 products to treat psychiatry ailments. Sales

were initially limited to 2 states - West Bengal and Bihar. Sales were rolled out

nationally in 1985. Products that are used in cardiology were introduced in 1987, and

Monotrate, one of the first products launched at that time has since become one of our

largest selling products. Important products in Cardiology were then added; several of

these were introduced for the first time in India.

11

Sun Pharma was listed on the main stock exchanges in India in 1994; and the Rs. 55

crore issue of a Rs. 10 face value equity share at a premium of Rs. 140/- was

oversubscribed 55 times. The minimum 25% that was required under the regulations

then for listing was offered to the public, the owner family continues to hold a

majority stake in Sun Pharma. They used this money to build a greenfield site for API

manufacture, as well as for acquisitions. For the acquisitions, typically companies or

assets that could be turned around and brought on track were identified.

Their first API manufacturing plant was built in Panoli in 1995, for access to high

quality actives ahead of competition, and to tap the vast international opportunity for

speciality APIs.

Another API plant, the Ahmednagar plant, was acquired from the multinational Knoll

Pharmaceuticals in 1996, and upgraded for approvals from regulated markets, with

substantial capacity addition over the years. This was the first of several sensibly

priced acquisitions, each of which would bring important parts to the long-term

strategy

By 1997, their headquarters were shifted to Mumbai, the commercial capital of the

country. We began on the first of our international acquisitions with an initial $7.5

million investment in Caraco Pharm Labs, Detroit. By 2000, we had completed 8

acquisitions, each such move adding new therapy areas or offering an entry to

important international markets. A new research center was set up in Mumbai for

generic product development for the US market. In India, as new therapy areas were

entered into post acquisition; customer attention, product selection and focused

marketing helped us gain a foothold in areas like orthopedics, gynecology, oncology,

etc. From a ranking at 38th in 1994, by the year 2000 Sun Pharmaceutical was ranked

5th with a leadership in 8 of the 11 therapy areas that they were present in. The year

2000 was the year of turnaround at the US subsidiary, Caraco, as it began to receive

approvals after successful inspection by the USFDA. In December 2004, a research

center spread over 16 acres was inaugurated by the President of India, with special lab

space for drug discovery and innovation.

The tally at the end of 2005

• 15 manufacturing plants in 3 continents.

• 5000 employees

12

• 2 World class research centers

• Brand selling in markets worldwide

• A growing presence in the US generic market

1.8 BRIEF HISTORY OF ENGINEERING INDUSTRY

Hardly any aspect of our life remains untouched by engineering today. Engineers put

power and materials to work for human race — steel and concrete to build bridges,

roads, buildings, dams and glass, metal and plastics to manufacture hundreds of

everyday products. Engineering industry is the pre-requisite of industrialization of a

society or a nation as it portrays the capability to add value to primary products in our

economical world of today where trade has replaced war and finance has replaced

arms.

During the first ten years of independence, engineering industry maintained a low

profile in the unorganized sector through the indigenous efforts of mechanics,

craftsmen and immigrants who had the employees of large industrial units in India.

However, things improved in late fifties when large units such as Karachi Shipyard

and Engineering Works (KSEW) were commissioned in 1956.

While engineering industry has made a substantial progress over the years to produce

such as tractors, motorcycles, electric transformers, switch gears, electric meters, air

conditioners, refrigerators, sewing machines, cars, trucks, diesel engines within the

country, the uncertain as well as non-availability of right type of basic raw material—

steel and its alloys— plus lack of precision needed for the manufacture of parts and

machinery are one of the major constraints for the development of the engineering

industry.24

The following five engineering units are selected for the purpose of study:

1. Elecon Engineering Company Ltd.

2. FAG Bearings India Ltd.

3. Bosch Rexroth India Ltd.

4. Ingersoll-Rand (India) Ltd.

5. GMM Pfaudler Ltd.
