Eris Lifesciences planning new manufacturing facility

Eris Lifesciences Ltd. is planning a new greenfield manufacturing facility with a land area of 10-12x of Guwahati facility.

The new greenfield manufacturing facility will be operated alongside the Guwahati facility as a parallel unit thereby helping mitigate the risks of a single-location operation.

The new facility will be built and operated to WHO GMP standards. It will also house a Pharma R&D unit with laboratories for Formulation Development, Analytical & Microbiology as the company is planning to expand its capability in Pharmaceutical Research & Development. 

In order to retain the competitive advantage of in-house manufacturing over the longer term and build redundancy in manufacturing footprint, the company is planning to commission a new Formulations manufacturing facility before the end of FY23. The new facility will have the ability to manufacture new dosage forms like Sterile Injectables (ampoules, lyophilized, pre-filled syringes) and Oral Liquids.

The company envisages a capital outlay of Rs. 120-130 crore in the first phase, 70-75% of which is expected to deploy in FY22. The capital requirements for the new manufacturing unit will be funded through internal accruals.

Eris Lifesciences Ltd. is a pure-play domestic branded formulations business model. The company's business ethos is based on two pillars – harnessing the power of cutting-edge science to bring evidence-based therapies to the market and enabling patients to take charge of their diagnoses and their lives through our patient care initiatives.

Our revenues exceeded Rs. 1,200 crore for the year ended March 2021.
