Press Release
Orion and Shilpa Medicare Expand Partnership to Develop and Supply
Nivolumab Biosimilar for Europe
Building on their successful partnership, the companies turn to one of immuno-oncology’s most important
medicines.
AT A GLANCE
▪ Nivolumab targets a blockbuster PD-1 immunotherapy market of ~USD4.1 billion.
▪ Shilpa Biologicals to lead development and long-term commercial supply from its biologic’s facility in
Dharwad, India; Orion to drive exclusive commercialisation across Europe.
▪ Aims to widen patient access to advanced immuno-oncology therapy while easing pressure on
healthcare budgets.
Dharwad, India –30th June 2026 — Shilpa Medicare Limited (BSE: 530549 | NSE: SHILPAMED) today announced
that its wholly owned subsidiary, Shilpa Biologicals Private Limited (“Shilpa Biologicals”), has entered into a co-
development and supply agreement with Orion Corporation for intravenous(IV) nivolumab biosimilar referencing
one of the world’s most widely used cancer immunotherapies — bringing two companies together to widen
patient access across Europe.
Nivolumab helped usher in the era of immuno-oncology, transforming the outlook for patients across cancers
such as melanoma and lung cancer. As the originator approaches loss of exclusivity in Europe, this partnership
aims to put a high-quality, EU-GMP-manufactured nivolumab biosimilar within reach of more patients — and to
help health systems stretch every euro of their oncology budgets further.
In 2025, Nivolumab recorded sales of approximately USD4.1 billion (Source: IQVIA/IMS) Europe — underscoring
the scale of the opportunity that high-quality biosimilars can unlock for patients and healthcare systems across
the region.
Under the agreement, Orion will hold the exclusive right to register, market, distribute and sell the nivolumab
biosimilar across Europe, and will act as the Marketing Authorisation holder in the territory. Shilpa Biologicals
will lead product development and serve as the exclusive long-term commercial manufacturer and supplier for
the European market from its advanced biologics facility in Dharwad, India. Shilpa is entitled to receive from Orion
certain development and regulatory milestone payments, in addition to supply revenue over the life of the
partnership.

The deal marks another chapter in a fast-growing relationship. It follows the partners’ earlier collaboration to
bring Shilpa’s Recombinant Human Albumin to Europe — and pairs Shilpa’s end-to-end biologics development
and manufacturing engine with Orion’s deep European commercial reach, regulatory expertise and well-
established distribution network.
“Extending our partnership with Orion into immuno-oncology is a defining moment for Shilpa Biologicals,” added
Vishnukant Bhutada, Managing Director, Shilpa Medicare. “It reflects the trust our partners place in our quality,
our science and our ability to deliver complex biologics at scale — and it moves us closer to our mission of making
advanced medicines affordable and accessible worldwide.”
“We are pleased to add yet another product to our strategic partnership with Shilpa,” said Satu Ahomäki, EVP
