Alivus Life Sciences Acquires 76% Stake in IQGenX Pharma for ₹91.2 Million
Alivus Life Sciences acquired a 76% stake in IQGenX Pharma for ₹91.2 million. IQGenX specializes in formulation development for oral solids, sterile injectables, and ophthalmics. This acquisition expands Alivus's capabilities into advanced formulation and regulatory filings, targeting global generic pharmaceutical markets.
The acquisition is significant as it integrates formulation development with Alivus's existing API business, creating a more comprehensive offering. However, the financial consideration is relatively small, suggesting a medium-term impact.
The acquisition of a majority stake in IQGenX Pharma is a strategic move that expands Alivus's capabilities and market reach, which is positive for the company's growth prospects.
Alivus Life Sciences Limited (formerly Glenmark Life Sciences Limited) has announced the acquisition of a 76% majority stake in IQGenX Pharma Private Limited for a consideration of ₹91.2 million (9.12 crore).
IQGenX Pharma Private Limited, established in October 2016, operates as a custom research organization specializing in the formulation development of oral solids, sterile injectables, and ophthalmic solutions for regulated markets including the US, EU, and Latin America.
This strategic acquisition will enable Alivus to leverage its existing API portfolio by integrating it with advanced formulation development capabilities. The combined entity aims to create an end-to-end platform offering scientific expertise across complex delivery formats. Alivus will also expand its operational footprint to include bioequivalence and stability studies, facilitating comprehensive regulatory filings for diverse global markets and enhancing its global customer base in the generic pharmaceutical segment.
Furthermore, the expanded service platform will bolster Alivus's value proposition for global CDMO customers, covering pre-formulation studies, prototype development, process optimization, seamless scale-up, clinical supplies, and commercial manufacturing, complemented by analytical development and regulatory submission support. Alivus plans to strategically combine IQGenX’s specialized platform with its API portfolio, with a primary focus on Oncology, to develop differentiated, niche assets for strategic out-licensing.
The acquisition is anticipated to close by the end of the current calendar year, subject to customary closing conditions.
