India&#8217;s biotech market is targeting USD 150 billion by 2025 growing at 15 to 20 percent annually. Biocon Ltd is India&#8217;s largest biopharmaceutical company with 17 globally approved biosimilars including insulin, trastuzumab and bevacizumab, competing with patented biologics worth USD 10 billion in global markets. Divi&#8217;s Laboratories Ltd is India&#8217;s largest active pharmaceutical ingredient CDMO with 25 percent global market share in select generic API segments. Laurus Labs Ltd is the fastest growing small molecule API and CDMO company with a growing biologics manufacturing capability.
