Company across manufacturing footprint, product portfolio, customer base, synergies and export
opportunities
Mumbai, September 02, 2026: RPG Life Sciences Limited today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary,
RPG Active Pharma Limited (RPGAP), has entered into a Business Transfer Agreement to acquire the Active
Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and Intermediates business undertaking of Raghava Life Sciences Private
Limited on a going-concern basis through a slump sale. The transaction is subject to customary closing
conditions and regulatory approvals.
The acquisition is the next step in RPGAP's consolidation play based on a well-planned buy-and-build strategy
to bolster organic growth and create an integrated, scaled API focused organization. Following the recent
acquisition of Actis Generics, this transaction broadens RPGAP's manufacturing base, product portfolio,
regulatory capabilities and customer access across geographies. The consolidated organization is intended to
strengthen RPGAP's participation in the growing API market through greater scale, synergies, deeper
integration and focused commercial execution.
A highwquality asset with significant value-unlock potential
Raghava operates a modem API manufacturing facility near Hyderabad, spread across approximately 9 acres,
with around 300 KL of installed capadty and a dedicated R&D set-up. The facility is WHO-GMP and EU-GMP
approved with significant investment towards capacity expansion in recent years. Its established regulatory
approvals, meaningful installed capacity and chemistry capabilities provide RPGAP with a high-quality
manufacturing presence.
The business has developed a portfolio of high-growth APls, comprising 22 commercialized products and 7
development-stage assets across diabetes, cardiovascular, CNS and other therapeutic segments. The portfolio
includes commercially attractive molecules and is supported by multiple international regulatory credentials
including CEP, EU Written Confirmation and KDMF approvals. This broad basket of commercialized and
pipeline APls gives RPGAP access to therapy areas benefiting from strong market tailwinds.
RPGAP expects to unlock value through defined synergies across this acquisition, Actis and the wider RPGAP
network, including backward integration, improved capacity utilization, cost synergies and selected product
transfers. Stronger business development, wider market access, deeper customer coverage and disciplined
portfolio execution are poised to improve cost competitiveness, accelerate portfolio scale-up and enhance
operating leverage over time.
The acquisition will be funded in line with the recent equity raise announced by RPGAP.
Commenting on the acquisition, Mr. Ashok Nair, Managing Director, RPG Life Sciences Limited., said:
"This acquisWon marks an important addition to the RPG Active Pharma Limited consolidated organization.
It brings together a high-quality manufacturing asset, a broad portfolio of commercialized AP/s, established
regulatory credentials and strong customer relationships. Following Actis, it further strengthens the scale
and capabilities of RPGAP and advances our strategy of building an integrated and competitive scaled AP!
business.
The real opportunity lies in unlocking the potential of the asset through stronger commercialization, improved
capacity utilization and integrat;on across the organization. By combining these manufacturing and product
capabilities with Actis' intermediate strengths and RPGAP's governance, talent and market access, we
intend to build a larger presence and capture a greater share of the growing AP/ market."
Commenting on the acquisition, Mr. Lohith Ponguleti, Managing Director, Raghava Life Sciences
Private Limited said:
"We are pleased to see Raghava Life Sdences Private Limited embark on its next phase of growth as part
of RPG. Over the years, we have built a differentiated business anchored by an EU-GMP approved
manufacturing facility, strong technical capabilities and a portfolio with significant growth potential. We
believe RPG is well positioned to build on this foundation, accelerate expansion across domestic and
international markets, and unlock the next stage of value creation for the business."
