Torrent Pharmaceuticals (NSE: TORNTPHARM) sells branded generics. India is ~57% of revenue: in Q2 FY27, India was 2,861 cr of 4,979 cr consolidated revenue. About 75% of India sales are chronic and sub-chronic therapies (cardiac, anti-diabetic, CNS, GI), and Torrent is No. 1 in cardiac and No. 5 in the IPM after the JB deal. The rest of the business is branded generics in Brazil, US generics, German tender generics, and JB's international and CDMO business. JB Chemicals came in two steps.

The two companies then merged by pooling of interests, effective 8 Jul 2026, with 4.19 crore new shares issued. The deal was funded with 10,990 cr of NCDs plus CP. Torrent controls brands, field force and plants. It does not control Indian price controls (NLEM ceiling-price revisions are set by WPI, +0.65% in Apr-26), US generic price erosion or German tender outcomes.
