Commenting on the results, Nilesh Gupta, managing director, Lupin said that the first quarter of FY2019 has been subdued, primarily on account of the US and Japan. The firm has made meaningful progress in building its complex generics and specialty business with the launch of Solosec in the US and its successful partnership to commercialize biosimilar Etanercept with Nichi-Iko for Japan and Mylan for Europe and other markets. The company remains committed to accelerating new product introductions, evolving its business and delivering on operational and cost efficiencies.

Lupin is an innovation led transnational pharmaceutical company developing and delivering a wide range of branded & generic formulations, biotechnology products and APIs globally.
