RPG Life Sciences eyes acquisitions amid strong growth across segments

RPG Life Sciences is actively exploring acquisitions in both the formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) segments, says Managing Director Yugal Sikri.

The recent monetisation of land in Thane, near Mumbai, has strengthened the company’s position, leaving RPG Life Sciences with a cash surplus of over ₹200 crore after clearing its debt over the past five years. This surplus is now driving the company’s acquisition ambitions, Sikri said.

RPG Life Sciences operates in three main segments: domestic formulations, international formulations, and APIs.

Domestic formulations contribute about 66% of revenue, international formulations 19%, and APIs 15%, and all three segments are growing in double-digits.

Sikri expects margins to continue to remain around 27%.

The domestic formulations business has been outpacing market growth. International formulations grew 17% in the first half of the year, and APIs, which had previously lagged, are now achieving growth rates of around 15%.

RPG Life Sciences’ current market capitalisation is around ₹4,202.89 crore, with shares gaining nearly 76% in the past year.
