· | Availability of Sputnik V, 2DG and immunity booster products in the market: The management responded saying that there have been supply related challenges for Sputnik V which are expected to be ease over the upcoming period. The process of clinical trial data submission for Sputnik light is ongoing. The Company has already launched immunity booster products |
· | Relevance of US generics, and impairment charges: The management responded that the US markets are still attractive and do contribute to the Company’s profits hence the Company is bullish on the US markets. With regard to the impairment charges, the management responded that the impairment charges are always computed and disclosed in accordance with the accounting standards. |
· | Performance of acquisitions and inorganic growths: The management responded that although Germany acquisition faced impairment in short term but in the long term the entity has established itself strongly. The Company was not successful in bringing out just one product from the portfolio acquired from Teva, however rest of the portfolio is still attractive. Further, the Wockhardt acquisition has met the expected targets and has turned out to be a successful acquisition. |
· | Expansion plan for increasing the facilities locations in eastern/other parts of India. The management responded by saying that currently the facilities are located at Baddi, Himchal Pradesh, Vizag, Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad, Telangana. There are no immediate plans for entering into eastern/other parts of the country. |
· | Unclaimed dividend/transfer of shares to IEPF: the management responded saying that the Company regularly intimates the shareholders whose dividend is lying unclaimed and also uploads a list of such shareholders on its website for their ready reference. |
