Dr. Reddy’s expansion plans for API production

Unrelated to the inspection of the USFDA at the Dr. Reddys Srikakulam facility, Dr. Reddys sought permission from the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change to expand their drug and intermediate manufacturing at three locations.

All three chemical technical operation (CTO) units, CTO-I, CTO-II & CTO-III are located in Medak district and the announced planned capacity increases along with the anticipated capital investment were

 

Existing Capacity

Planned Capacity

Anticipated Investment

CTO I

14.7 TPM

45.5 TPM

Rs 30 crores

CTO II

21.9 TPM

68.9 TPM

Rs 45 crores

CTO - III

4.45 TPM

28.1 TPM

Rs 12 crores

 *$1 million is approximately about Rs 6.2 crores & TPM is tons per month

In addition, the declaration given by Dr. Reddys also mentions the various products which will be produced at each facility (table below).

Needless to say, the plans are ambitious however with the growth witnessed by the Indian pharmaceutical industry over the past decade, one can understand Dr. Reddys commitment to investing further in their business.
