Apart from its existing plants in tax exempted zone of J&K and Baddi, duly certified and approved by WHO GMP, your company has successfully commissioned another Manufacturing facility at the same tax exempted zone and green plains of Baddi during the year. This new manufacturing facility inaugurated in August 2007, is for soft Gelatin Encapsulation with an annual capacity of 36 Crore and will not only make us almost self sufficient in soft gelatin manufacturing but will unquestionably dedicated a bit of spare capacities for contract manufacturing as well.

Company's manufacturing unit at Parwanoo has also been upgrades as per WHO Standards.

Company's Global Business Unit (GBU) at Derabassi has got MHRA & TGA approval.

These new facilities will augment the company's efforts to tap the regulated markets and strengthen the company's growing CRAMS business which is expected to accounts for 30-40% of its bottom line over the next four years. Your company has been certified for ISO 9000:2001 also during the year.

Testing Facilities

Ind-Swift had recognized the pivotal role that will be played by the R&D much ahead of time and therefore, in spite of several hurdles faced by the Company earlier, it continued to invest in R&D. Today Company's modern R&D set up is the result of that wisdom. Company is well placed to face the post 2005 scenario which still confounds many domestic companies.

R&D Focus

In the patent free environment, where there are a plethora of bulk drug manufacturers, the Company has decided to concentrate on those molecules, manufacture of which requires complex chemistry and several reactions steps. This way a lot of fringe players are eliminated and the market is less crowded. A strong R&D set up is inevitable to achieve this.

As a result, we have built up considerable R&D strengths, centered on a knowledge base pool of over 80 scientists and technical personnel are working towards the common goal of achieving excellence in all spheres of activities, be it development of new molecule, changes in the process resulting in cost reduction or improvement in the quality of products. As a result of its R&D initiatives, the Company has been able to introduce several new molecules first time in India. ISLL is a technology driven company. The technologies are not only cost effective, but also give quality products, consistently with higher purity. ISLL has been investing aggressively in its R&D activities, to the level of almost 6% of its turnover.

R&D Activities

Our major strengths and core competencies lay in the development and commercialization of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) in line with regulatory and quality requirements.

Future Directions:

R&D will play a more significant role in future. While development of new molecules will remain its core activity in the post patent era the Company will also focus on alternate and non-infringing routes for the drugs whose patent will expire in coming years.

To enter the regulated markets like USA, EU, Australia, and New Zealand, the Company is focusing on getting its manufacturing plant approved by regulatory agencies like USFDA, TGA and MCA.

A new R&D Center with investment of US$ 5 Million is already planned in Mohali with a focus to develop NCEs.

Creative spirit, dedicated effort and application of new technology, form the basis for innovation, which the pharmaceutical industry requ
