* Shilpa Medicare Limited's wholly-owned subsidiary, Koanna International FZ LLC, UAE, has signed a definitive agreement with Pharma Pharmaceutical Industries & Biological Products (PPI), a prominent Saudi enterprise. * The agreement establishes a new joint venture company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to build a new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. * The new limited liability company will be majority-owned by PPI (70%), with Koanna holding a 30% stake. * The partnership will be executed in two key phases: * Phase 1: Shilpa Group will supply finished products in bulk for repackaging at the new JV company's state-of-the-art facility, ensuring rapid market entry. PPI will be responsible for establishing this facility with technical input from Shilpa Group. * Phase 2: Shilpa Group will execute a full technology transfer of its manufacturing processes to the JV, enabling local production of finished products. Shilpa Group will also prepare the complete regulatory registration dossier in compliance with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) and lead the process of obtaining the necessary Market Authorization. * Mr. Vishnukant Bhutada, MD of Shilpa Medicare Ltd, commented that the JV combines PPI's local strength with Shilpa's innovative technology to improve healthcare in the Kingdom, making products more accessible and consolidating Shilpa's presence across the MENA region. * The joint venture is expected to strengthen Shilpa's global footprint and consolidate its presence in the MENA region, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals of economic diversification and localizing strategic industries.
