Tarapur :

• Discontinuation of API manufacturing operations in Tarapur.

Tineta business : Didn’t went through
Nourrie Business : Brazil – Dont know how this is spanning

API Business : 70% of business in the API comes from the regulated markets.
Company mentions Scale of operations and the volume increases on API will get them to cost advantage even in places where they may not be able to pass on the price.

Turkey Issue with LIRA devaluation :

• Management is seeing growth in the business constantly, and that reflects really ability to grow both volume as well as pass on price increases linked to that.
• As far as the depreciation of the lira is concerned, the only place that can potentially help us is if we increase our exports out of Turkey.
• That is an effort which is going on, we are slowly increasing our exports out of Turkey. But that’s really not substantial enough to say that it will, it’s going to make a big impact on the results. But right now, the thing is, yes, because we manufacture locally in Turkey, it helps us to be competitive.

• Filings : 30 USVMFs and 17 CEP filing
• They have commercialized a new product with one of the top animal health companies. But this will really fructify into a formal business more after one year or two years : At this point of time, it has been commercialized, validated, NBF being approved, and management thinks that this will also turn out to be a bigger opportunity for them going ahead, the further products are also under development.
• Three to four projects which are in the pipeline for the next year

Challenge

• Specific challenge in Turkey due to the high inflation and devaluation of the currency which had impacted results this quarter. However, they had already initiated strong pricing actions as well as cost containment measures, which will result in margin improvement from the fourth quarter.
• Also Europe inflation and pricing challenge.

Management steps ahead
Project Pragati : Management said that they are in the mid stage so somewhere between 2-3rd point.

• First is really around the improvement of yields and efficiencies around some of our products : which make the cost of manufacturing lower and also make these products more competitive.
• The second part of Project Pragati involves the overall cost structure of the operation in terms of the manufacturing footprint, etc
• The third is in the area of procurement.
• The fourth is relating to consumables, raw materials, utilities, etc
• The fifth course making sure that they are driving the higher-margin pipeline in this

Turkey

Turkey wage increased by 49%

On the positive side if the company can export the products – there is a positive sign however since the company mentions that Turkey is its biggest market – due to current levels of the inflation – it would be difficult.
