A Vapi-based drug maker more than doubled its factory capacity.
But profits fell.
That's what makes this stage of the capex cycle interesting: the costs arrive before the volumes.

๐น โน75 Cr spent in FY24, โน116 Cr in FY25 and โน173 Cr in FY26
๐น Fermentation capacity more than doubled, from 450 KL to 990 KL
๐น A new multi-purpose API plant, costing over โน200 Cr, was commissioned in May 2025
๐น Fixed assets surged from โน41 Cr to โน289 Cr
๐น Another โน121 Cr remains under construction
๐น Borrowings rose from โน30 Cr to โน162 Cr, pushing debt-to-equity from 0.12 to 0.56
The company produces Rifamycin S and Rifamycin O โ intermediates used in medicines such as Rifampicin and Rifaximin.
It was the first company in India to manufacture Rifampicin commercially.
Now, the business is moving further up the value chain: from supplying intermediates to producing finished APIs for markets including the US and Europe.

Annual capex is now roughly 13ร depreciation โ the steepest multiple in this series so far.
But the investment has a cost:
๐น FY26 free cash flow: โโน124 Cr
๐น Borrowings increased to โน162 Cr
๐น Depreciation rose from โน5 Cr to โน13 Cr
๐น Interest expense increased from โน0.4 Cr to โน3 Cr
The company's own report describes the situation as a โcapex-driven debt build-up.โ
๐ฏ ๐ช๐๐๐ง'๐ฆ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ง?
The next 12 months could be decisive:
๐น Ramp up the new API plant from validation batches to commercial production
๐น Complete the โฌ158 million Sanofi brand acquisition, expected by December 2026
๐น Complete the MicroBiopharm Japan acquisition for ยฅ21.5 billion
๐น Commission the 18 MW captive power project
๐น Deploy the โน750 Cr raised in August at โน354 per share
FY26 revenue rose 10% to โน166 Cr, while profit stood at โน47 Cr. The June quarter's operating margin was 48%.
Important: Neither acquisition had closed as of the annual report. Their completion, funding and integration remain key milestones.

Over the past decade, the company has delivered:
๐น 18% sales CAGR
๐น 26% profit CAGR
๐น 32% return on equity
The business has come a long way from having negative reserves in 2015.
But valuation matters.
At approximately 96ร earnings, with profit down 4% last year and return on capital falling from 45% to 18%, the market is already pricing in substantial future growth.
The new capacity must now translate into higher volumes, stronger returns and sustainable cash generation.

The new plant is commissioned, but depreciation and interest costs are already rising before the full benefit of additional production comes through.
The next phase is about execution: ramping up capacity, closing acquisitions and converting investment into earnings.
Now the focus shifts from building capacity to filling it.
That's the part I'm tracking.
