Indian Pharma Firms See Growth from Specialty Drugs and Increased Foreign Investment

Indian pharmaceutical companies are attracting investor attention due to growth in specialty drugs and contract manufacturing. OneSource Specialty Pharma, recently demerged from Strides Pharma, is poised for rapid revenue growth driven by demand for GLP-1 therapies and upcoming regulatory approvals. Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors increased stakes in firms like Shilpa Medicare, which focuses on oncology APIs, biologics, and expanding into Latin America. Both companies benefit from global shifts toward complex formulations and contract development services.
