Piramal Pharma has acquired an additional 40.67% stake in Yapan Bio for ₹76 crore, increasing its shareholding from 33.33% to 74%. The Mumbai-based pharmaceutical company purchased 146,400 equity shares, converting Yapan Bio from an associate company to a subsidiary. Yapan Bio, founded in 2019, is a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation specialising in vaccines and biologics. The company reported revenues of ₹26.91 crore, ₹54.40 crore, and ₹26.34 crore for fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026 respectively. The acquisition strengthens Piramal Pharma's biologics capabilities and expands its integrated service offerings. The company announced its intention to exercise this call option in August 2026, completing the transaction as disclosed in a regulatory filing to the National Stock Exchange.
Piramal Pharma Ltd invested INR 101.77 crore in Hyderabad-based Yapan Bio Pvt Ltd in December 2021, acquiring a 27.78% equity stake. The investment aimed to strengthen Piramal Pharma Solutions' CDMO capabilities in biologics and vaccines, particularly for large molecule development and manufacturing for human clinical trials. In April 2022, Piramal increased its stake by 5.55% for Rs 20.35 crore, bringing total ownership to 33.33% by March 2023. The company's FY2023 filings showed Yapan's share of loss at Rs 0.20 crore.

The facility supports end-to-end development and manufacturing of RNA, DNA and gene therapy products starting from plasmids. Yapan's services are marketed through Piramal Pharma Solutions.
Piramal Pharma expects to accelerate earnings growth over the next two to three years, driven by rising demand for complex drugs including targeted cancer therapies, chairperson Nandini Piramal said. The Indian drugmaker, which derives 55% of revenue from contract manufacturing, aims for early-to-mid-teens revenue growth after reporting a 3% drop in fiscal 2026. The company is prioritising higher-value segments, particularly antibody-drug conjugates for cancer treatment, as global biotech funding into Indian contract manufacturers rebounds. Biotech funding in the second half of 2024 was 80% higher year-on-year, translating into increased order inflows. Piramal is avoiding generic weight-loss drug ingredients due to intense competition and falling prices. The company's contract manufacturing revenue fell 10% last year, causing margins to shrink from 17% to 13%.
Piramal Pharma Limited announced results for Q4 and full-year FY26, reporting revenue growth impacted by inventory destocking, slower early-stage order inflows and softer inhalation anesthesia traction in ex-US markets. The company recognised an impairment loss of ₹176 crore on intangible assets under development. The pharmaceutical company invested $94 million in capex during FY26, with Lexington and Riverview expansions progressing. Net debt remained flat compared to FY25. Key developments included completing the Kenalog acquisition for $35 million upfront consideration plus up to $65 million contingent payment. The Consumer Healthcare division's Power Brands grew 24% year-on-year, whilst e-commerce sales surged 48%, contributing 27% to segment revenue. Chairperson Nandini Piramal stated all three business segments are positioned to deliver growth in FY27.
