वीर भोग्या वसुंधरा:
The brave inherit the earth
In a Rajasthan village with no electricity and no running water, a boy decided that where he started would not be where he finished.
Desh Bandhu Gupta began as a schoolteacher, became a professor, worked in the pharmaceutical industry, and then founded a company of his own. Today, that company is worth more than $10 billion and has helped reduce global tuberculosis deaths by 80%.
Every step took courage. That courage helped make India the pharmacy of the world, delivering trusted medicines to more than 200 countries.
All Made in India.
DBG always said the ones who rise owe a debt to the ones still rising.
He found his way out of the dark he was born into, and he kept the light on for the rest of us.

Our Purpose
We catalyze treatments that transform hope into healing


^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements
Our founder, Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta's mission was to establish quality healthcare as a fundamental human right. He believed that scientific excellence was key to expanding access to affordable treatments. He built Lupin with the conviction that healthcare should serve humanity, not just markets. His vision was forged by an intimate understanding of the barriers to treatment, fueling his determination to build an institution capable of overcoming them at scale. Last year, we formally articulated this purpose. This year, we demonstrated how it shapes decisions, directs investments and continues to deepen our commitment to patients and the communities we serve.
Our purpose gains true substance when it transcends rhetoric and manifests in action. Over the past year, we did exactly that. Our purpose has served as the lens through which we evaluate our strategic priorities, refine operational execution, and increase the impact of the solutions we deliver. Whether through advancing differentiated therapies, expanding healthcare access in underserved regions, or strengthening our scientific and manufacturing capabilities, our actions continued to reflect the values on which Lupin was founded.
Our purpose continues to be grounded in three core commitments.

Relief from disease
Delivering meaningful treatments for today and tomorrow

Innovation to unlock access at scale
Making complex, cutting-edge healthcare solutions accessible to all

Solutions for underserved communities
Serving markets and patients overlooked by others
As a stakeholder in Lupin, you are an integral part of a purpose-driven journey spanning over five decades – one that has always placed the patient at its center while building sustainable, long-term value. The blend of vision, compassion, and resilience inherited from our founder continues to drive us forward, as we accelerate the impact of the foundation we are building together.
We believe that together, we are building a company that delivers lasting value to all its stakeholders and the communities that place their trust in us – and each passing year is a testament to that conviction.

Guided by Purpose
Chairperson's Letter

Science gives us the ability to discover. Purpose gives us the responsibility to serve. Trust is earned by doing both well.
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 21
Dear Shareholders,
The world is entering a new era of healthcare. Scientific discovery is advancing at an unprecedented pace. Artificial intelligence and digital technologies are reshaping how medicines are discovered, developed, and delivered. Populations are aging, healthcare needs are becoming more complex, and societies are demanding that innovation remains affordable, accessible, and trusted.
Periods of profound change demand institutions anchored in enduring values. At Lupin, our Purpose has always been that anchor. It guides the choices we make, the investments we prioritize, and the standards we uphold. Throughout FY26, our performance reflected not only disciplined execution but also our commitment to creating lasting value – for patients, healthcare professionals, employees, partners, communities and, ultimately, our shareholders.
This philosophy has guided Lupin since its inception. Our founder, Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta, believed that medicines carry both scientific responsibility and moral purpose – that scientific excellence matters only when it reaches the patients that need it most. His life and values, reflected in Made in India: The Story of Desh Bandhu Gupta, Lupin and Indian Pharma, continue to shape the institution he built and the aspirations that define it today.
Lupin's story is part of India's remarkable emergence as one of the world's most trusted pharmaceutical partners. Driven by scientific talent, entrepreneurial courage, and a commitment to expanding access to quality healthcare, India has become a global force in pharmaceuticals. We are proud that Lupin has helped shape this journey – and equally conscious of the responsibility it brings. As India's scientific capabilities continue to expand, our ambition is not simply to participate in this transformation, but to help shape it.
Our purpose remains unchanged: we catalyze treatments that transform hope into healing.
Building an Institution for the Long Term
Institutions are not built quarter by quarter. They are built through thoughtful decisions made consistently over time. During FY26, we strengthened Lupin through disciplined capital allocation, investment in science, operational excellence, manufacturing capability, digital transformation, and our people. These investments are designed to create value for the foreseeable future.
Our financial performance reflects the strength of this approach and provides the resources to continue investing in innovation, quality, manufacturing excellence, technology, and our people.
Our diversified global business remains one of Lupin's greatest strengths. Momentum across the United States, India, Europe, Australia, Canada, and our Emerging Markets reflects a balanced portfolio and broad geographic presence, strengthening our resilience in an increasingly dynamic global environment while enabling us to serve patients in more than 100 countries.
Innovation with Purpose
Innovation remains central to Lupin's future. As science advances and patient needs evolve, we will continue investing in differentiated capabilities that improve access, strengthen quality, and create long-term value.
Responsible Growth
Long-term success depends on responsible growth. Environmental stewardship, strong governance, ethical conduct, and an inclusive culture are fundamental to building institutions that endure.
During the year, Lupin ranked first among all pharmaceutical companies globally in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, reflecting the progress we have made in embedding sustainability across our business.
Renewable energy now accounts for more than half of the energy consumed across our India operations, and we remained water-positive for the fifth consecutive year. We view these milestones not as destinations, but as evidence that meaningful progress is achieved through consistent effort.
Equally important is our responsibility to people and communities. During FY26, our initiatives positively impacted more than 510,000 beneficiaries, reinforcing our belief that lasting success is measured not only by what we achieve, but by the difference we make in people's lives.
Looking Ahead
The next decade will redefine healthcare. Advances in biology, precision medicine, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies are expanding what is scientifically possible, while societies increasingly expect innovation to remain affordable, equitable, and trusted. The companies that succeed will be those that combine scientific excellence with trust, affordability, and access.
We believe Lupin is well-positioned for this future. Our scientific capabilities, diversified global presence, financial strength, and unwavering commitment to quality, provide a strong foundation for sustained growth.
DBG often reminded us that success carries responsibility. That philosophy continues to guide the Board's stewardship of Lupin as we strengthen the institution entrusted to us – ensuring it remains resilient, ambitious, and uncompromising in its values.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our more than 26,000 Lupinytts. Their integrity, dedication, and pursuit of excellence have earned Lupin recognition as a Great Place To Work® across all our subsidiaries, a reflection of the culture we have built together.
I thank the patients we serve, healthcare professionals, regulators, partners, and shareholders for the trust they continue to place in us.
As we look ahead, we do so with confidence in our strategy and humility in our responsibilities. Guided by our purpose and strengthened by the trust placed in us, we remain committed to advancing healthcare across all the regions and communities we serve.
Warm Regards,
Manju Deshbandhu Gupta

Living Our Purpose
CEO and MD's Letter

^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 23
Dear Shareholders,
FY26 was a defining year for Lupin. We delivered record revenues and profitability, strengthened our position across key markets, advanced our innovation pipeline, expanded our specialty capabilities, and continued investing in the scientific, manufacturing and digital foundations that will drive our next phase of growth.
These results reflect years of disciplined investment, deliberate portfolio choices and consistent execution. Across the organization, our focus remained clear: strengthening the capabilities that differentiate us, executing with discipline, and expanding access to high-quality medicines for patients around the world.
Our founder, Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta, often reminded us that enduring success is built patiently – with integrity, discipline, long-term thinking and an unwavering commitment to patients. Those values are especially relevant today, as healthcare evolves rapidly, scientific innovation accelerates, and expectations of quality, affordability and access continue to rise.
This year, many of us revisited DBG's remarkable journey through Made in India: The Story of Desh Bandhu Gupta, Lupin and Indian Pharma. It is a timely reminder that enduring institutions are built through courage, perseverance and the willingness to invest boldly for the future. That legacy continues to shape our decisions, our priorities and our ambition to build an institution that creates lasting value for patients and society.
Our purpose – we catalyze treatments that transform hope into healing – remained the foundation of our actions throughout FY26. Across markets, we expanded access to medicines. Across our pipeline, we advanced differentiated scientific platforms. Across our manufacturing network, we strengthened quality and reliability. And across the organization, we accelerated digital capabilities and built new foundations for future growth.
FY26 was not simply a year of strong performance. It was a year in which we strengthened Lupin's position as a science-led, innovation-driven global pharmaceutical company.
Executing Our Strategy
Our strategy is clear: to evolve our pipeline and portfolio, to execute with discipline across markets, and to allocate capital thoughtfully to create sustainable long-term value.
FY26 demonstrated the strength of this strategy. Revenue from operations increased 23% to INR 279,580 million, while profit after tax reached INR 53,555 million. EBITDA reached a record level, supported by a stronger product mix, continued operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management. Operating cash flow exceeded INR 73,000 million, providing the financial strength to continue investing in innovation, manufacturing excellence, digital capabilities and our people.
Our performance was broad-based. The United States delivered another outstanding year, with revenues increasing 46% to INR 116,783 million. Growth was driven by execution of new product launches with exclusivity, continued momentum
> Our strategy is simple: invest in differentiated science, execute with discipline and build the capabilities that will define Lupin's next decade of growth.
in inhalation products and the resilience of our base business. These results reflect years of investment in complex products, manufacturing capability, regulatory excellence and supply chain reliability.
India delivered another strong year, continuing to outperform the Indian Pharmaceutical Market. Growth was led by our chronic portfolio, supported by gains in market share across key therapy areas and the continued expansion of our healthcare adjacencies, including diagnostics, digital health and consumer healthcare.
Our Other Developed Markets and Emerging Markets also contributed meaningfully to growth. Europe, Australia and Canada benefited from differentiated and specialty products, while markets such as Brazil and the Philippines continued to build momentum. Together, these businesses reinforce the strength of our diversified global portfolio and reduce our dependence on any single geography.
These results reflect the disciplined execution of a strategy we have pursued consistently. We are building a more resilient, more differentiated and increasingly innovation-led business – one capable of delivering sustainable performance through changing market conditions.
Quality, Manufacturing and Digital Excellence
Everything we do begins with quality. Patients place their trust in the medicines they take. Preserving that trust requires uncompromising standards in science, manufacturing and quality systems. It is a responsibility we uphold every day.
Our global manufacturing network, comprising 15 facilities across multiple geographies, provides the scale, reliability and flexibility needed to serve patients around the world. During FY26, several of our facilities achieved important regulatory milestones, reflecting the strength of our quality systems and the dedication of our manufacturing and quality teams.
For us, quality is beyond regulatory compliance, it is fundamental to our reputation, our relationships with healthcare professionals and patients and our ability to compete globally. Every product that leaves a Lupin facility represents our promise to patients that it meets the highest standards of safety, efficacy and reliability.
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2025-2026
Technology is becoming an increasingly important enabler of that promise. Across our value chain, we are investing in digital manufacturing, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to improve speed, consistency and efficient decision-making. These technologies are helping us enhance research productivity, strengthen manufacturing performance, improve quality oversight and optimize supply chain planning.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already supporting drug discovery, clinical development, manufacturing operations and commercial decision-making. While AI will continue to transform our industry, we believe its greatest value lies in augmenting scientific output and patient outcomes. Combined with Lupin's scientific capabilities and operational excellence, these digital investments position us to compete more effectively in an increasingly complex pharmaceutical landscape.
Building the Next Growth Platforms
One of Lupin's enduring strengths has been our intent to invest ahead of the curve. Many of the capabilities driving our growth today are the result of decisions taken years ago.
The pharmaceutical industry is evolving rapidly. Success will increasingly depend on differentiated portfolios, manufacturing excellence, regulatory capability and supply chain resilience. Over the past decade, we have deliberately invested in each of these areas, strengthening Lupin's competitive position for the future.
During FY26, we continued to expand our portfolio across complex generics, biosimilars, inhalation therapies, injectables and specialty medicines. These are segments where scientific complexity creates durable sustainable advantage and higher barriers to entry.
A significant milestone during the year was the approval of Armlupeg™ in the United States – our first U.S. biosimilar. This achievement represents years of investment in biologics research, development and manufacturing. More importantly, it marks the beginning of a new chapter for Lupin as we expand our capabilities in one of the fastest-growing segments of global healthcare.
We also successfully launched the generic version of Risperdal Consta®, the first product developed using our proprietary Nanomi long-acting injectable platform. This milestone reinforces our capabilities in advanced drug delivery technologies and provides an important platform for future innovation.
An important strategic priority is our expansion into novel medicines. During the year, we entered into a partnership with Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals for Bofanglutide, a novel fortnightly GLP-1 receptor agonist for diabetes and obesity. As metabolic disorders become one of the world's largest healthcare challenges, we believe this partnership strengthens our ability to participate meaningfully in an important and rapidly evolving therapeutic area.
Beyond these products, we continue to strengthen our specialty business. Over many years, we have built deep capabilities in respiratory medicine and neuro-rare diseases and are now establishing a strong presence in ophthalmology. Our acquisition of VISUfarma represents an important step in our specialty journey, expanding both our specialty portfolio and our commercial footprint in Europe. We expect specialty medicines to become an increasingly important driver of Lupin's long-term growth and will continue to pursue both organic and inorganic opportunities within our disciplined capital allocation framework.
We are investing where scientific complexity creates sustainable competitive advantage, where innovation improves patient outcomes, and where our capabilities can differentiate us over the long term.
Beyond Medicines
Patients increasingly expect more than medicines alone. They seek earlier diagnosis, better information, continuous engagement and integrated care throughout their treatment journey.
This understanding continues to shape the evolution of our business in markets like India. Over the years, we have expanded beyond pharmaceuticals into diagnostics, digital health, neurorehabilitation and consumer healthcare, creating a broader healthcare ecosystem around the patient. These adjacencies strengthen our ability to improve patient outcomes while building deeper and more enduring relationships across the continuum of care.
Our People
Behind every scientific breakthrough, every manufacturing milestone, and every patient served are the people of Lupin. Today, more than 26,000 Lupinytts advance our mission across research, manufacturing, commercial operations and enabling functions worldwide. Their commitment, resilience and sense of purpose are the foundation of everything we have achieved.
As our industry evolves, continuous learning has become a strategic imperative. During FY26, our employees completed more than 1.5 million hours of learning, strengthening technical expertise, leadership capability and digital readiness across the organization.
One of the recognitions we value most is our Great Place To Work® certification across all our subsidiaries. More than an award, it reflects the culture our people have built together – one grounded in trust, respect, inclusion and shared purpose.
Growing Responsibly
Long-term business success and responsible business practices are intertwined. During FY26, we continued to make progress across environmental stewardship, responsible operations and governance. Renewable energy usage increased across our manufacturing network, alongside further initiatives in water conservation and resource efficiency.
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 25
Our efforts were recognized globally through an S&P Global ESG Score of 91, inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook and leadership ratings from CDP for both climate change and water security. While we are proud of these recognitions, they are not the objective. They are outcomes of consistent decisions taken over many years.
Through the Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation, our CSR arm, we also continued to invest in healthier and more resilient communities. Across healthcare, education, rural development and livelihood creation, our programs reached millions of people and thousands of villages, reinforcing our belief that sustainable businesses and stronger communities grow together.
Looking Ahead
The opportunities before Lupin have never been greater.
Healthcare is being reshaped by advances in biology, precision medicine, digital technologies and AI. At the same time, patients, healthcare professionals and regulators expect continually rising standards of quality, reliability and affordability. These shifts are raising the bar for our industry – and creating opportunities for companies with differentiated scientific capabilities, strong manufacturing foundations and disciplined execution.
Over the past several years, we have consistently strengthened the capabilities that will define the next phase of our growth: complex generics, biosimilars, specialty medicines, manufacturing excellence and digital transformation. Together, these investments will create a stronger, more resilient and increasingly differentiated business.
Our priorities remain clear. We will continue to invest in science. We will strengthen quality across every part of our network. We will expand our specialty and complex product portfolio. We will deploy digital technologies and AI to improve how we discover, develop and deliver medicines. And we will allocate capital with discipline, always guided by the long-term interests of the patients we serve and our shareholders.
We expect the world around us to continue to evolve. We remain committed to our purpose to bring access to affordable and innovative medicines in the communities we serve.
We are confident in the future we are building and grateful for the confidence you continue to place in us. Together, we will continue advancing science, expanding access and improving lives for the patients and communities we serve as we catalyze treatments that transform hope into healing.

Purpose-Led Growth
CFO's Letter
Dear Shareholders,
Guided by a well-defined strategic roadmap, FY26 saw our long-term momentum culminate in significantly stronger financial performance and optimized operating leverage. This reflects our deep scientific expertise and manufacturing excellence – capabilities honed over time and trusted by patients and healthcare systems worldwide.
Profitability growth tracked closely with revenue expansion, underpinned by the growing impact of differentiated products, including inhalation therapies and other complex formulations. This year's performance also demonstrates the maturity of our strategic investments in complex generics, biosimilars, and specialty products. These investments, made over several years, have now crystallized into robust growth engines, proving the value of a disciplined and long-term approach to our development. This is a testament to the strength of our portfolio and enables us to expand access to affordable medicines and address evolving healthcare needs.
Our scientific, manufacturing, and quality capabilities, coupled with investments in advanced manufacturing, supply reliability, compliance, and digital systems, have played a critical role in furthering our purpose. Additionally, responsible resource utilization, inclusive practices, and strong governance, which are embedded in Lupin's operating ethos, have become important contributors to operational excellence, stakeholder confidence, and long-term value creation.
Consistent Momentum Across Global Markets
Across our business, FY26 marked a year of robust financial performance. Consolidated revenues from operations stood at INR 279,580 million, reflecting year-on-year growth of approximately 23.1%. Our EBITDA rose by 68.6% to INR 92,405 million, translating to an EBITDA margin of 33.6%. Profit increased by 62% to INR 53,555 million. Together, these outcomes highlight a business delivering growth at a greater scale, improved profitability, and increasing financial flexibility.
The U.S. remained our largest market with revenues of INR 116,783 million and a strong year-on-year growth of 46%. This growth was driven by the expanding contribution of differentiated products, including Tiotropium Bromide Inhalation Powder, RLD Risperdal Consta®, and Armlupeg™, our first biosimilar commercialized in the U.S. Beyond commercial impact, these products reflect the outcomes of sustained investments in innovation, manufacturing, and regulatory capabilities, further strengthening the quality and resilience of our business in this strategically important market.

^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 27
Our India Region Formulations business continued to deliver strong, consistent performance with growth outpacing the Indian Pharmaceutical Market. Chronic therapies, such as cardiovascular, respiratory, diabetes, and gastrointestinal, continue to drive momentum and currently account for approximately 66% of the Formulation revenues. India plays a critical role in supporting our global supply network, enabling the delivery of high-quality medicines across developed and emerging markets. Overall, the India business (excluding API) revenues rose to INR 81,140 million, an increase of 7.1% over the previous year. Additionally, we strengthened our presence in the rapidly expanding diabetes and obesity segment with the launch of our generic semaglutide, enabling us to deliver high-impact therapies at scale.
Other Developed Markets and Emerging Markets delivered a healthy growth of 13.3% and 35.2%, respectively, highlighting the robustness of our diversified global portfolio. In Other Developed Markets, growth was supported by differentiated and specialty products, portfolio optimization, and strategic acquisitions, including VISUfarma and Renascience. Emerging Markets benefited from portfolio expansion, improved healthcare access, and strong execution in priority markets, particularly Brazil, Mexico, and the Philippines. These businesses collectively contributed to a diversified revenue base, reduced concentration risk, and a resilient global growth platform.
Our ability to scale globally while maintaining a localized approach has been key to our success. By leveraging strategic partnerships, optimizing our supply chain, and investing in regulatory excellence, we have ensured that Lupin remains a trusted partner in healthcare delivery worldwide.
Translating Strategy into Operational Execution
In 2026, consistent execution and operational excellence emerged as dominant themes across the organization, anchoring our success across all business units. Targeted initiatives in procurement, manufacturing, and supply chain operations resulted in higher productivity, enhanced service levels, and greater operating leverage.
Cost optimization continues to be an important area of focus. We delivered USD 41 million in savings through procurement efficiency, freight optimization, yield improvement, and network optimization initiatives.

The acquisition of Medical Nutritional Institute (MNI) brands in late 2024 has furthered our play in complementary and alternative medicines while broadening our reach in pharmacy-led self-care.
In recent times, heightened generic competition, slower approvals by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), and supply disruptions from global third-party suppliers have plagued the business in South Africa. The business mitigated these pressures through local sourcing, inventory interventions, and selective first-to-market launch decisions, ensuring service levels and ensuring customer continuity.
FY26 benefited from the FY25 commercial restructuring, resulting in stronger alignment with Specialty and OTC priorities. The divestment of the low-margin hospital business resulted in higher resource allocation to metabolic diseases and consumer health initiatives.
Sales were primarily channeled through wholesalers and pharmacies, with corporate retail chains being a significant conduit for distribution. Select first-to-market launches contributed to a robust portfolio of products across OTC, CVS, CNS, and metabolic segments and are expected to be a critical contributor to sales. Pharma Dynamics is shaping its next phase in metabolic diseases, centered on diabetes and GLP-1 assets, with the ambition of establishing a future value pillar by FY30.
> Across EMEA and Emerging Markets, proximity to local healthcare needs guides our choices. Our purpose serves as the foundation for how we create value across these markets – through relevant portfolios, reliable supply, and responsible partnerships that help extend the reach of quality medicines to more patients.

> Thierry Volle
> President – EMEA and Emerging Markets
Pharma Dynamics, in partnership with our Global Institutional Business, secured three-year public-sector tenders in the antiretroviral and tuberculosis categories. This adds a critical institutional channel to our South African footprint, reinforcing our presence in treatment areas central to public health.
Outlook
South Africa is set to transition toward a balanced mix of prescription and self-care demand, shaped by chronic disease management, expanding retail pharmacy access, and public-sector treatment programs. For us, this creates a pathway to extend our offerings in metabolic diseases, ophthalmology, and renal therapies – supported by digital modernization, targeted portfolio development, and dependable supply.

The renewal of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification further reaffirmed MedQuímica's commitment to quality standards and regulatory compliance.
MedQuímica continues to strengthen organizational capabilities through high employee engagement, leadership development, and a culture of continuous improvement, reinforced by the Great Place To Work® certification. Sustainability remains a key priority, with operations powered by 100% renewable energy and supported by greenhouse gas inventory management across Scopes-1, 2, and 3. Environmental initiatives include waste reduction, recycling, composting, and cleaner energy adoption. MedQuímica also advances community programs that promote awareness, support vulnerable groups, and create positive social impact. Together, these efforts position Brazil as a meaningful and profitable contributor.

Outlook
Brazil's pharmaceutical sector is expected to benefit from rising demand for affordable medicines and will eventually become the fifth largest in the world, with wider adoption of generics and growing relevance of complex therapies in the cardio-metabolic, respiratory, oncology, and biosimilar segments. MedQuímica provides a local manufacturing and commercial base through targeted launches, quality-led operations, and a higher-value product mix. The next phase will be shaped by a robust pipeline, productivity gains, and an unrelenting focus on therapy areas.
Mexico
In Mexico, our purpose is realized through focused execution in a market defined by scale and specialist care to shape patient outcomes. As the second-largest pharmaceutical market in Latin America – and among the top 15 globally – the country offers a dynamic landscape for promoted brands and specialist-led therapies. The private retail market grew 12.5% year-on-year to MXN 223.6 billion, creating a supportive backdrop for sustained growth.
In FY26, our subsidiary, Laboratorios Grin, recorded sales of MXN 951 million, with a year-on-year growth of 1.1%, supported by increased participation in the private retail segment and a series of targeted launches.
Ophthalmology remained the key area of focus. We strengthened our position as a preferred partner for specialists, ranking second in volume and fifth by value, in the private segment. Growth outpaced the broader ophthalmology category, supported by a customer-centric approach and focused promotion. Recent launches, including Noxavil, the Zonaker® and Snelvit® ranges, and VeriDHA, gained strong traction across anti-allergic therapies, anti-infectives, dry-eye management, and eye supplements.
During the year, our omnichannel approach expanded reach and enhanced the quality of interactions across regions, strengthened brand recall, improved market penetration, and helped build a more consistent commercial presence in a competitive category.
Outlook
As Mexico's private retail market expands, specialist-led brands, ophthalmology therapies, and consumer-facing products are expected to gain greater relevance. For us, the near-term opportunity lies in building on our ophthalmology position, widening private retail participation, and our OTC entry to connect more closely with consumers. Over the medium term, complex generics and biosimilars across metabolism, respiratory, and oncology will add a new growth layer, supported by local brand equity, targeted launches, and a more connected engagement model.

Philippines
In the Philippines, Lupin's purpose is shaped by the realities of a market defined by affordability, competition, and access. Through our subsidiary, Multicare Pharmaceuticals, we maintain a direct presence in this market, where branded generics, chronic therapies, and hospital-based products are integral to patient care.
In FY26, we recorded revenues of approximately PHP 2,273 million, reflecting 1% year-on-year growth. Chronic and semi-chronic therapies accounted for nearly 75% of sales, led by sustained demand across diabetes, gastroenterology, and primary care. This performance was delivered in a constrained operating environment marked by cost inflation, heightened price sensitivity, and intensifying generic competition.
The year also marked a measured renewal of the product portfolio and consolidation of our therapeutic areas. We introduced three products – one for diabetes, a multivitamin and iron supplement for anemia, and a Budesonide-Formoterol combination for asthma. A notable milestone was the successful integration of critical care products, marking our entry into a new segment in the Philippines. It contributed approximately 7% of total Philippines sales and expanded engagement with institutional and hospital-linked customers.
Toward the close of FY26, we initiated steps to increase our ownership in Multicare Pharmaceuticals Philippines, expected to be completed in early FY27. This will enable clearer governance, faster decision-making, and closer integration with our broader organizational structure.
Outlook
The Philippines pharmaceutical market will increasingly hinge on affordability, supply reliability, and focused participation in priority therapies within a highly competitive environment. For us, the next phase of growth will hinge on a robust portfolio with a sharper therapy focus, critical care integration, and enhanced supply reliability. This positions Lupin for higher growth and enhanced profitability in the Philippines.
Global Institutional Business
Our Global Institutional Business (GIB) extends Lupin's purpose into large-scale public health impact, partnering with governments and global health agencies across 50+ countries in Africa, Latin America, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and Asia. We play a critical role in expanding access to essential medicines, with a sustained focus on tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. Recent performance was impacted by lower levels of funding support from the U.S.
Our institutional position is underpinned by vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, including fermentation-based production of Rifamycin active pharmaceutical ingredients and WHO-GMP-compliant API and formulation facilities. This integration supports long-term supply commitments encompassing more than five million patient treatments annually – a key determining factor for global health agencies. Supply reliability, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency continue to define our role as a trusted partner in large-scale disease-control initiatives.
In FY26, there has been an increase in multi-year funding commitments from global donors and national governments, enabling greater visibility into demand forecasts. This has stabilized the institutional portfolio and broadened access to national and multilateral public health opportunities.
Our WHO-prequalified Rifapentine-based portfolio, including Rifapentine 300 mg tablets and fixed-dose combinations of Isoniazid and Rifapentine, witnessed expanded adoption across 20 high-burden countries. These therapies enable shorter-course TB-preventive regimens, increasingly integrated into national programs to reduce incidence and mortality.
We also sustained a strong presence in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, with our WHO-prequalified therapies featuring in recommended multidrug-resistant TB regimens across more than 20 global health programs.
Through scale-driven manufacturing and operational efficiencies, we reduced costs by over 15% for select drug-resistant TB treatments, helping expand access to essential therapies.
Pediatric and special-population access remained a key priority during the year. We advanced access to WHO-prequalified pediatric-friendly formulations for TB prevention and treatment across children and other vulnerable populations. These formulations accounted for approximately 5-7% of total institutional volumes, delivered under donor-funded and government-led programs.
Outlook
Demand in the coming years is likely to be influenced by sustained donor funding, national disease-control efforts, growing emphasis on TB prevention, and the ongoing requirement for drug-resistant TB treatments. Pediatric access and short-course preventive regimens are likely to gain greater relevance. For us, the opportunity lies in WHO-prequalified medicines, vertically integrated manufacturing, backward integration, and reliable supply across large public programs. This positions the business to support disease-control priorities while retaining predictable volumes across access markets.
Way Forward
Looking ahead, a more selective, execution-led approach will shape our Emerging Markets portfolio. Growth will be driven by targeted launches, portfolio rationalization, and operating leverage, underpinned by dependable supply, focused therapy priorities, deeper local engagement, and access-led partnerships. Together, these levers will strengthen the contribution of Emerging Markets to Lupin's global trajectory – while advancing our purpose of delivering meaningful access and enduring impact in underserved communities.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Catalyzing Science
We believe our ability to catalyze treatments that transform hope into healing begins with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) – the foundation of modern medicine.
Our API strategy operates through two distinct platforms – API Plus and Lupin Manufacturing Solutions (LMS) – designed to power critical therapies worldwide. They embody Lupin's strategic intent to broaden therapeutic access, fortify supply resilience, and deliver lasting impact from molecule to market.
API Plus Business
API Plus forms the backbone of Lupin's product-driven API portfolio, extending a focused range of APIs across internal formulation units, institutional programs, and global customers in regulated markets. At the core of this capability is the role of APIs in enabling finished-dosage manufacturing and supporting large-scale public health programs, especially in regulated markets where compliance, reliability, and volume consistency are critical. Thus, while Lupin produces several APIs to cater to a vertical integration strategy, a limited number of products are sold to third parties. These relate to tuberculosis (TB), cephalosporins, and select anti-infectives. Through consistent, compliant, and cost-effective supply, Lupin continues to play a pivotal role in national and global TB treatment.
Beyond TB, our anti-infective APIs and pediatric-friendly formulations – including dispersible and age-appropriate dosage forms – help expand access to treatment, particularly in underserved populations. These efforts reflect a sustained commitment to strengthening treatment reach and improving health outcomes where the need is greatest. Some of the Cephalosporin products emanating from Penicillin G (Pen G) have reflected a decline in demand in recent times due to volatility in prices of Pen G. We, however, expect the situation to improve in the quarters to come.
Developing a High Value Portfolio and Enhancing Operational Efficiencies
Our portfolio strategy reflects a balanced approach that combines volume-driven molecules with select high-value APIs used in injectables, complex dosage forms, and specialty therapies. While some parts of the same would stem from a vertical integration strategy for our formulations business, there are other APIs that are exclusively for external markets. These include products with greater technical complexity, stricter regulatory requirements, and more defined differentiation.
Strengthening operational resilience was a key priority during the year. Cost optimization through alternate vendor development for raw materials and other inputs, with focus on process refinements and manufacturing improvements, has yielded tremendous results in recent years. These measures supported stable output, cost competitiveness, and consistent quality standards, particularly in regulated and price-sensitive markets.
Way Forward
API Plus plays a strategic role in linking API development with formulation and regulatory frameworks, reinforcing backward integration and supply assurance. This approach enables reliable product introductions and agility in meeting both commercial and institutional requirements. Our priorities include maintaining leadership in TB and access-driven therapies, expanding into complex and differentiated APIs, continuously focusing on cost optimization, and advancing Lupin's specialty and complex generics portfolio. With a clear strategic direction and close alignment with global treatment needs, we aim to deliver sustainable value while improving access to high-quality medicines.

Double Materiality Assessment
At Lupin, we are guided by our purpose, stakeholder expectations, and a dynamic regulatory environment to evaluate and prioritize ESG imperatives most material to our business.
The Company conducts an annual Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to evaluate ESG across two complementary dimensions: (i) Financial Materiality – topics influencing Lupin's financial performance and long-term value creation; and (ii) Impact Materiality – topics reflecting Lupin's actual or potential impact on stakeholders and the environment across the value chain.
Guided by leading global frameworks such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards 2021, the Double Materiality Assessment strengthens the robustness, comparability, and credibility of our ESG disclosures.
As part of the assessment, we brought in perspectives from ~100 internal and external stakeholders, including senior management, business heads, key personnel, sustainability experts, civil society organizations, B2B customers, suppliers, contract manufacturers, healthcare professionals, media representatives, and institutional investors.

Lupin's Step-by-Step Approach for Assessing Double Materiality
Sustainability Topic Identification and Landscape Analysis
We have established a comprehensive universe of 50 sustainability topics.
They were identified from the Enterprise Risk Management system, previous Lupin materiality assessments, European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), GRI, ISSB, sector-specific peer benchmarking, and ESG rating guidelines.
Stakeholder Engagement for Assessing Impact and Financial Materiality
The process engaged over 320 external and 120 internal stakeholders through surveys, interviews, and consultations.
A list of 27 sustainability topics was shared with all stakeholder groups for evaluation.
The process ensured that final outcomes were balanced and reflected diverse stakeholder perspectives (100+ inputs received).
Prioritization of Material Topics
Stakeholder insights were consolidated and assessed against defined thresholds to develop the materiality matrix.
Validation with the Board of Directors was undertaken to ensure completeness.
21 high-priority sustainability topics were identified for Lupin.

Embedding Materiality into Strategy and Business
The materiality outcomes were reviewed and approved by the Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (SCSR) Board Committee.
Integration of material topics with the Enterprise Risk Management system, ESG framework, ESG goals, and annual sustainability disclosures was ensured.
The materiality assessment process was independently verified by a third-party assurance provider.
Systematic tracking of evolving global and national sustainability and ESG regulatory landscapes is regularly undertaken to identify emerging risks and opportunities.

| Business Case | Leveraging our strong generics portfolio and broad global footprint, we are well-positioned to expand patient access to essential medicines across markets. However, challenges related to affordability and availability can limit access to critical therapies, potentially affecting patient outcomes as well as our ability to realize our long-term vision and growth ambitions. | By prioritizing responsible water stewardship, reducing wastewater generation, and ensuring safe and compliant disposal practices, we reinforce our commitment to environmental sustainability and to safeguarding the health of the planet. | Disruptions in supply chains and suppliers can impact product quality, regulatory compliance, and timely market supply, particularly where reliance on limited or non-substitutable suppliers exists. Mitigating these risks requires engagement with responsible, sustainable suppliers and regular ESG-based assessments to ensure resilience, reliability, and ethical and sustainable sourcing. |
| Type of Business Impact | Risk | Risk | Risk |
| Business Impact | Our innovation and research efforts boost brand value by positioning the company as a source of diverse, accessible, and affordable treatments. This excellence and recognition, paired with our access initiatives that address unmet patient needs and improve access in low- and middle-income countries, also bring new revenue streams. | Persistent high water consumption in areas experiencing water stress increases the risk of rising operational costs that can disrupt manufacturing capabilities and result in overall revenue loss. Inadequate management of environmental impact can result in legal, regulatory, and financial consequences, damage to reputation and stakeholder trust, and ultimately, a loss of license to operate. | Supplier relationships come under scrutiny when the company starts disqualifying supplier contracts based on their compliance to required regulatory and ESG standards, resulting in a loss of business value. Dependence on non-substitutable and critical raw material suppliers poses a risk to the business in the event of unforeseen disruptions. |
| Business Strategies | We embed access and affordability into our innovation, pricing, and market expansion strategies to improve our brand as a provider of diverse, accessible, and affordable medicines, while creating resilient, long-term revenue opportunities aligned with global health needs. | We regularly monitor and manage our water consumption, with a strong focus on optimizing water use, minimizing freshwater withdrawals, and improving water recovery across operations. We are working to further improve Zero Liquid Discharge practices at our facilities to ensure responsible treatment of manufacturing wastewater. In addition, we are committed to prudent and efficient water use in water-stressed regions, thereby reducing our environmental footprint and contributing to long-term water sustainability. | We undertake a holistic capability and training program for our suppliers on ESG and regulatory alignment. We have initiated a comprehensive exercise to assess 100% of our critical and strategic suppliers through our ESG framework. We also screen new suppliers during the onboarding process by asking them to conduct a self-assessment on ESG and other financial and non-financial metrics. Our suppliers are also required to consent to and uphold the company's ESG standards as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. |
| Linked Target/Goal | LYFE® provides post-Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and heart failure patient care, aiming to reach 100,000 patients. | We recycle 50% of our total water withdrawal in our India operations. | 100% coverage of critical suppliers (raw material and packaging material) through the ESG framework within a three-year cycle. |

| Relevance to External Stakeholders | According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than half of the world's population lacks access to essential health services, while nearly 800 million people spend a significant share of their household income on healthcare. This challenge is particularly acute in low- and middle-income countries, which face the highest disease burden, and where constraints on affordability further limit access to timely and effective treatment. | Improper disposal practices, including excessive landfilling and unsafe incineration, pose potential environmental and public health risks, particularly for communities located near waste treatment and disposal facilities. Growing regulatory scrutiny, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) mandates on plastic, and heightened consumer awareness are placing greater expectations on pharmaceutical manufacturers to adopt responsible waste management and disposal practices. | As climate impact intensifies, stakeholders increasingly expect climate-related risks to be addressed across the value chain. Climate performance is now a key factor in business evaluation, driving demand for holistic strategies that go beyond emissions reduction to include mitigation, adaptation, resilience, and alignment with global goals such as the 1.5°C pathway. | |||

With a net debt-to-equity of -0.21 on March 31, 2026, we maintain a net cash-positive position – a sign of a very healthy balance sheet.
Our business performance during FY26 was strong, further enhancing our ability to invest in a long-term, sustainable future while maintaining financial strength and flexibility. Our capital deployment remained focused on advancing differentiated product portfolios both organically and inorganically, expanding manufacturing and technological capabilities, strengthening digital infrastructure, and supporting sustainability initiatives across operations. Through thoughtful allocation of capital, we continue to acquire strategic, profitable assets that address the evolving needs of patients, healthcare systems, and communities worldwide.

Financial Strategy
In an industry where scientific depth must be matched by scale, reliability, and long-term commitment, financial strength is more than a performance metric. It enables us to expand access to quality healthcare, reinforce our position as a trusted source of pharmaceutical innovation and manufacturing excellence, with sustained investments. Our constant endeavor has been to enhance our Financial Capital and strengthen our balance sheet to create a sustainable source that supports the translation of scientific capability into high-quality medicines and healthcare solutions that reach millions of patients across markets. Our growth is anchored in our purpose of catalyzing treatments that transform hope into healing.
Our financial management approach is guided by four core principles. First, we focus on sustainable, differentiated growth through a diversified portfolio spanning complex generics, respiratory therapies, biosimilars, ophthalmics, and specialty products. These businesses offer attractive growth opportunities while strengthening the quality and resilience of our earnings over time. Second, we allocate capital prudently, prioritizing investments and acquisitions that enhance long-term competitiveness while preserving financial flexibility. Third, we focus on efficiently converting growth and capital into cash flows by closely monitoring operating margins and working capital cycles. Converting operating margins into free cash flow fuels a virtuous cycle of growth and further capital allocation. Fourth, we safeguard the long-term financial stability of the business through effective management of liquidity and financial risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange risks. Given the global nature of our business and the risks inherent in it, constant vigilance on this front is essential.
Our financial decisions in FY26 were guided by a long-term value creation lens amid global macroeconomic uncertainty, pricing pressures in mature markets, and rising regulatory and sustainability expectations. Consistent with this approach, we continued to invest in research, manufacturing, digital and AI capabilities, patient access initiatives, and sustainability programs, supported by healthy cash generation and a strong balance sheet.
Operating Leverage and Agility
In FY25, we demonstrated a strong financial turnaround by achieving a positive debt-to-equity ratio, strengthening our working capital position, and building momentum in cash flow. In FY26, we built on that strong base to further our operational and financial efficiency, supported by growth and disciplined execution across businesses, raising our gross margin to 73.3% from 69.2% in FY25. Revenues from operations grew by 23.1% year-on-year, while EBITDA increased by 68.6%, reflecting stronger operating leverage, balanced portfolio mixes, and focus on cost optimization and digitization initiatives. Profit for the year rose by 62.0%, highlighting the strength of our differentiated portfolio and focused investments across growth platforms. EBITDA margins rose to 33.6% from 24.7% in FY25, reflecting improved operational efficiency and scale benefits across businesses.
For the full year, the U.S. business recorded sales of USD 1,318 million, compared to USD 944 million last year. This has been led by volume growth in our generics business and healthy
contributions from complex generics, respiratory products, and differentiated launches. The U.S. contributed 42% of our total revenues in FY26. We continue to be the third largest pharmaceutical player in both the U.S. generics market and the U.S. total market by prescriptions (IQVIA Qtr TRx March 2026). Lupin is also the leader in 61 of its marketed generics in the U.S. and ranks among the top 3 in 112 of its marketed products (IQVIA Qtr March 2026).
In FY26, the India business (excluding API) grew by 7.1% year-on-year to INR 81,140 million, with the prescription business growing 10.6% against the Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM) at 9.9%, translating to 1.1x the IPM growth and accounting for 30% of our global sales. Volume growth has been a healthy 6.4% during the year, against an IPM volume growth of 2.6%, and the chronic share in the mix has increased to ~66% from around 64% in FY25. This growth has positioned our formulations business as the 8th largest company in the Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IQVIA MAT March 2026). We advanced our India portfolio with 15 product launches in FY26 and are on track to introduce around 20 in FY27. We expect to sustain outperformance at 1.2x-1.3x of the IPM, backed by a strong field force and a pipeline of launches spanning differentiated in-house innovation and strategic in-licensing.
Sales across Developed and Emerging Markets delivered a robust growth of 13.3% and 35.2% respectively, underscoring sustained momentum across our global businesses.
Complementing growth, we scaled manufacturing, quality, and digital capabilities – driving greater agility, ensuring dependable supply, and expanding global patient access. Through sustained investments in innovation, manufacturing infrastructure, digital transformation, and patient access, we continue to reinforce our position as a globally trusted healthcare company, guided by our purpose.

Financial Highlights
Our profitability growth outpaced revenue growth, reflecting stronger operating leverage, portfolio enrichment, and enhanced margins across businesses. Growth was led by differentiated therapies, sustained momentum in chronic and specialty segments, and focused execution across global markets. Sustained investments in R&D, manufacturing, and digital capabilities reinforced our ability to deliver at scale and enhance patient access to quality healthcare solutions, while maintaining a resilient balance sheet.
On a full-year basis, EBITDA was INR 92,405 million, a sharp increase of 68.6% year-on-year with EBITDA margins of 33.6% vis-à-vis 24.7% over the same period last year and significantly higher than margin guidance. While we focus on increased cash generation for our business, we continue to explore strategic allocation of our capital to ensure the long-term mission of the company, including on the specialty front.

Maintaining a Strategic Lens
Lupin's strategic focus on complex generics, respiratory products, and biosimilars continued to translate into strong business outcomes during FY26, particularly in the U.S., where these differentiated platforms have become increasingly important drivers of growth and profitability. During the year, we advanced our growth platform through focused investments across complex generics, inhalation products, injectables, biosimilars, specialty therapies, and strategic expansion initiatives. Guided by our commitment to improving patient outcomes and expanding access to high-quality healthcare solutions, we focused on scaling differentiated capabilities across research, manufacturing, and commercial operations.
With strong new product launches, we augmented our respiratory and chronic therapy portfolios, expanded manufacturing and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) capabilities and advanced our pipeline across complex and specialty therapies. In the U.S., we expanded our portfolio through differentiated launches, investments in complex generics, and 505(b)(2) opportunities.
In India, we expanded our presence in chronic disease therapies across respiratory, diabetes, cardiology, and gastrointestinal therapies through new launches, partnerships, and expanded market reach, supported by a strong field force of over 11,800 people. Underpinned by disciplined capital allocation, strong R&D capabilities, and an unwavering focus on quality and compliance, we reinforced our position as a globally trusted healthcare company, rooted in India, serving patients across regulated and emerging markets as well.
Diversified Portfolio to Cater to Every Market
Our FY26 market position was bolstered through a disciplined strategy encompassing differentiated launches, expansion into complex therapies, and geographic diversification, advancing access to quality healthcare for underserved and evolving patient needs. In the U.S., we launched Dapagliflozin and Tolvaptan with a first-to-file, 180-day exclusivity, and received tentative approval for Sugammadex Injection, while augmenting our portfolio across inhalation products, injectables, and specialty therapies. We launched 15 products and continued to build a strong pipeline across complex products, including 45+ injectable products and 20+ inhalation products. These efforts advance Lupin's purpose by expanding access to affordable, differentiated therapies and improving patient outcomes across regulated markets. In India, we launched products across respiratory, diabetes, Central Nervous System (CNS), oncology, urology, dermatology, and cardiac therapies, and entered into a co-marketing agreement with Zydus for Semaglutide to expand our footprint in the GLP-1 category.
Our India strategy focuses on expanding leadership in chronic therapies, advancing respiratory and gastroenterology portfolios, and widening access to healthcare solutions across markets. As a pharma company with a strong global reach, we are committed to enhancing access to trusted, high-quality medicines across therapies and geographies.

Structured Approach to Talent and Leadership Development
Our talent management approach supports individual growth while cultivating a strong talent pipeline through a structured, insight-led framework. Anchored in three key pillars – talent assessment, talent reviews, and talent development – it provides a consistent, integrated approach to identifying, nurturing, and accelerating talent across Lupin.
The journey begins with in-depth talent assessments for mid- to senior-level employees, with globally recognized psychometric tools. Mid-level employees receive DISC and 360-degree feedback, while senior management receives Hogan assessments, 360-degree feedback, and Assessment Development Centers. These externally administered, multi-dimensional evaluations provide a deeper understanding of individual strengths, leadership potential, and areas for development, with a focus on fostering self-awareness and growth.
Insights from these assessments feed into talent reviews, which serve as a critical platform for calibration and talent differentiation. Through a structured, objective review process, high-potential talent is identified, and succession pipelines for critical roles are strengthened, thereby enhancing leadership continuity and long-term organizational readiness. Over 350 employees globally have been covered by this framework, which is now fully digitized through SuccessFactors, bringing greater transparency, consistency, and scalability to the talent management process.
These inputs are translated into personalized development journeys, supported by Individual Development Plans and regular quarterly check-ins that track progress, address emerging needs, and sustain engagement. This continuous feedback loop not only fortifies accountability but also helps employees visualize clear career pathways and build confidence in their long-term growth within the organization.

Lupin EXCEL – Global R&D Talent Mobility Program
The EXCEL program within the inhalation team has helped develop multi-skilled scientists who understand global scientific requirements and can advance critical inhalation programs at our Coral Springs location in the U.S. This program has also helped to keep retention under control, as employees are looking beyond monetary benefits. This has also strengthened organizational agility in utilizing resources optimally and helped to implement best practices at both our R&D centers. This program is a talent mobility initiative that helps scientists get exposure to other geographic areas.
Celebrating Legacy Through a Seamless Retirement Transition
At Lupin, a career is more than a professional journey; it is a reflection of years of contribution, growth, and shared purpose. We aim to ensure that each person's transition into retirement is marked by respect and appreciation. Our retirement transition program is designed to guide employees through this journey with personalized support, financial transparency, and emotional acknowledgment.
The process begins with one-on-one assistance with retirement payout options, enabling employees to make informed decisions
with confidence. Retiring colleagues continue to have access to our group health insurance plan, which covers pre-existing conditions and ensures uninterrupted care even after they step away from active employment.
Throughout this transition, our HR operations team and business partners remain closely involved, offering reassurance, addressing logistical queries, and ensuring a smooth and supportive experience. In the month leading up to retirement, we arrange engagement activities to honor the individual's contributions, culminating in the presentation of a commemorative silver plaque, a tribute to their lasting impact on the organization. We believe that recognizing years of contribution and commitment is an important part of celebrating the values, culture, and institutional knowledge that have shaped Lupin over time.
Transition Program for Former Employees
In instances of involuntary separation, we remain equally guided by a commitment to fairness and dignity, ensuring severance is managed in accordance with policy and local regulations. At every stage, we act with care and integrity – recognizing that how we part ways reflects our values as profoundly as how we welcome individuals into the organization.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We believe that diversity and inclusion enrich decision-making, spark innovation, and drive superior business outcomes by bringing together a broad range of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We are committed to shaping a workplace that is equitable and truly representative by identifying and removing barriers that may hinder participation or opportunity.
Our DEI approach combines global direction with strong local ownership. We set clear, organization-wide goals and track progress through centralized metrics, while individual teams are empowered to design and implement initiatives tailored to their specific environments and needs. Progress against these commitments is reviewed periodically through a formal Diversity Council governance structure, with councils at the enterprise and site levels, supported by dashboards and scorecards that track indicators of hiring, retention, progression, and engagement.
Share of Women in Total Workforce
| 12.8% Women in overall workforce | 10% Women in all management positions | 9% Women in junior management positions |
| 16% Women in top management positions | 5.7% Women in revenue-generating function | 24% Women in STEM-related positions |
This year, we initiated a phased approach to advancing the inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (PwD), with emphasis on accessibility, role suitability, and long-term integration into the workforce. The initiative commenced with a pilot across key manufacturing locations, including the Nagpur plant and biotech operations, where accessibility audits and comprehensive role mapping have been completed to identify meaningful opportunities for PwD talent. This ensures roles are assessed based on capabilities, aligning job requirements with functional strengths across diverse forms of disabilities.
A comprehensive inclusion framework has been designed in partnership with a specialized external organization to enable expert-led interventions across the talent lifecycle. Initial efforts have focused on sensitization of managers and teams to build awareness, foster empathy, and encourage inclusive behaviors. This is complemented by structured accessibility audits across facilities to assess infrastructure readiness, safety protocols, and workplace adaptability. To ensure effective deployment, job analysis and mapping exercises are undertaken to redesign roles, identify essential and non-essential tasks, and define reasonable accommodations required for successful performance. These insights help shape inclusive hiring practices and ensure that recruitment efforts are aligned with both business needs and accessibility considerations.
Additionally, structured onboarding and post-hiring support mechanisms have been instituted to enhance employee experience and long-term retention. These include customized induction journeys, buddy support, and sustained engagement through regular manager interactions and team sensitization – creating a supportive and inclusive work environment.

Returnity equips both the returning mother and her immediate manager with the guidance and tools needed to re-integrate effectively and confidently.
Culture and Awareness
Pride Month, International Women's Day, and Other DEI Events
We consistently promote a culture of belonging and allyship through periodic awareness campaigns, webinars, and events marking days of global significance. These cultural awareness initiatives are extended across employees and contractual staff.
The Unstoppables
Through this annual program, we provide all our female employees with self-defense and safety training. It encompasses physical safety, home security, and cybercrime awareness.

Comprehensive Approach to Performance and Development
Our performance management framework is anchored in collaboration, transparency, and shared accountability. Employees are expected to take ownership of their goals and development journeys, with support from regular performance dialogues that facilitate continuous feedback and timely course correction. During the year, we further refined this framework by transitioning to a Continuous Performance Management (CPM) model – moving beyond annual reviews to sustained, forward-looking conversations about performance and development.
The Mid-Year Review (MYR) serves as a key milestone in the continuous performance cycle, embedded in this framework and delivered through EmployeeKonnect (EK). The activation of the Continuous Performance and Continuous Feedback modules provides real-time visibility into goals, progress, and developmental priorities, promoting timely feedback and course correction. While the core PMS structure remains unchanged, this marks a significant step forward – one that embeds continuous performance dialogue and a sustained focus on development throughout the year. To support effective adoption, we rolled out Engage-to-Know sessions for employees, conducted training and communication sessions for HR Business Partners, and shared detailed user manuals for employees and managers, ensuring consistency, ease of use, and capability-building across the organization.
For mid- to senior-level employees, development objectives are integrated directly into the performance framework, sharpening the link between performance evaluation and talent development.
This makes the system more agile, holistic, and aligned with ongoing professional growth. Managers are equipped to conduct in-depth career conversations as part of the performance cycle, translating insights into structured, actionable development plans for all employees. Additionally, our assessment process incorporates shared accountability by assigning teams responsibility for achieving relevant corporate ESG goals, strengthening a team-based evaluation approach across functions.
As part of our broader digital and AI transformation, we are embedding AI-driven capabilities across our performance management ecosystem to enhance objectivity, agility, and development outcomes. Leveraging AI-powered insights, the system is evolving to provide real-time visibility into feedback quality and goal progress, enabling more consistent and data-informed decision-making. AI is also enabling the identification of emerging capability gaps, recommend personalized development actions, and prompt timely manager-employee interactions, elevating the quality of performance conversations. This approach strengthens fairness and transparency while fostering a more forward-looking, skills-based performance culture aligned with enterprise priorities.

Accountability for Sustainable Impact
Our definition of performance extends beyond financial outcomes to encompass the long-term value we create for patients, employees, communities, shareholders, and the environment. In alignment with this philosophy, we have embedded Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) priorities into the core of our performance management and rewards system. Every Lupinytt participates in a structured performance evaluation anchored in our Leadership Competencies and Values Framework. For senior leaders, including the Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director, Business Unit Heads, and other relevant managers, performance assessments incorporate sustainability-linked objectives aligned with Lupin's material priorities, creating a clear link between strategic ambitions and individual accountability.
Our FY26 ESG goals are aligned with insights from our updated double-materiality assessment, helping us prioritize areas such as climate action, emissions reduction, water stewardship, circularity, biodiversity, DEI, patient-centric innovation, access and affordability, ethical clinical trials, social impact, and responsible use of AI.
These goals are assigned to relevant Presidents and then cascaded to functional teams, with appropriate weightage built into annual performance reviews and the year-end rewards cycle. Achievement against these ESG-linked KPIs influences both financial and non-financial outcomes, including bonuses, salary increments, and ESOP allocations.
All ESG-related performance results for executive roles are reviewed and approved annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Board's Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (SCSR) Committee periodically evaluates progress toward our sustainability commitments, reinforcing robust governance, oversight, and accountability across the organization.
Fair Work as a Cornerstone of Our Culture
We believe that fair work is not just a principle, but a responsibility we uphold every day. Our approach centers on ensuring that every individual feels safe, respected, protected, and supported, curating an experience and environment where each member contributes meaningfully and thrives.
To safeguard the well-being of all employees and contract workers, we maintain transparent frameworks on working hours, rigorously monitor overtime, and ensure that all additional work is fully visible and equitably compensated. Ongoing engagement enables us to surface concerns early, respond promptly, and reinforce a culture grounded in trust and accountability.
Compensation is regularly benchmarked against industry standards to promote equity and address gender-pay disparities. At many of our global locations, benchmarking is reinforced
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 145
through partnerships with specialized compensation and benefits advisory firms, complemented by market intelligence from established databases such as Mercer, which conducts semi-annual surveys within the national pharmaceutical sector.
These surveys provide comprehensive insights into compensation and benefits across roles, enabling a robust assessment of market positioning and facilitating periodic adjustments to salary ranges. This ensures that compensation remains competitive and not merely limited to statutory minimum requirements, particularly for entry-level positions.
Every Lupinytt is entitled to paid annual leave and encouraged to take adequate time to rest. Our compensation framework is designed to be fair, unbiased, and consistent across gender, role, and background. We extend social protections beyond statutory requirements, complementing public systems with company-supported structures. We maintain respect and dignity during workforce transitions by ensuring an adequate notice period and offering reskilling initiatives to support adaptation to industry changes. We believe that fairness underpins our workplace, where individuals are secure in their growth, confident in their potential, and inspired to create enduring impact.
Human Rights
Our Framework and Assessment
Human rights are upheld through a robust governance framework that measures our social footprint through continuous sensitization and independent assessments, ensuring a consistent and rights-based approach across the organization. Oversight is driven through site-level Human Rights Core Committees, led by site heads, which regularly review compliance, grievances, and remediation actions, reinforcing accountability at the operational level.
Strong emphasis is placed on building awareness and capability across the workforce. Mandatory annual training on human rights and the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH), along with onboarding sensitization, ensures a consistent understanding among both permanent and contractual employees. Over the past year, focused capability-building initiatives have further strengthened internal expertise, with human rights implementers being trained as internal auditors to improve first-line risk identification and enable proactive compliance.
To mark Human Rights Day in FY26, a global webinar on Human Rights and Responsible Business Conduct was organized, bringing together employees across geographies to deepen awareness and understanding of responsible business practices. The session was led by an external expert from the International

Labor Organization (ILO), who shared global perspectives on integrating human rights into business operations. It focused on raising awareness of ethical conduct, corporate responsibility, and employees' roles in upholding human rights in the workplace and beyond. The webinar also provided insights into global best practices and the evolving role organizations play in building a culture grounded in respect, fairness, and human rights. In addition our security personnel are trained on human rights.
During the year, human rights due diligence was expanded to cover 100% of manufacturing sites, supported by site-specific action plans to address identified gaps. These assessments were conducted in collaboration with third-party experts, enhancing objectivity and ensuring alignment with globally benchmarked standards. Internal audit capabilities were significantly enhanced through close collaboration between trained internal auditors and external partners, enabling comprehensive audits across sites on a pan-India basis.
All 17 locations have now achieved Platinum certification under the globally benchmarked BEC 1500:2024 Human Rights Excellence Standards, following rigorous independent assessments conducted by VSQC in alignment with BEC guidelines. This milestone underscores the maturation of our approach – from compliance-driven oversight to a more integrated, forward-looking, and proactive human rights management framework.
The human rights issues evaluated include Leadership, Discrimination, Diversity and Inclusion, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking, Child Labor, Freedom of Association and Rights to Collective Bargaining, Anti-Harassment, Environment, Health and Safety, Community Engagement, Fair Wages, Equal Remuneration and Benefits, Reporting Concerns, and Non-Retaliation.
These initiatives foster a robust culture of accountability, respect, and ethics in the workplace, creating an environment where employees feel safe, heard, and valued. They also boost confidence among employees, partners, and external stakeholders, ensuring continued alignment with global human rights standards.
Based on our assessment, no operations or suppliers were found to pose any risk to the right to freedom of association or collective bargaining. While the company did not cause or contribute to any adverse human rights impact during the reporting year, we continue to run targeted improvement projects at each site. These initiatives truly reflect our commitment and align with our human rights policies. We are dedicated to ensuring everything we do upholds these important values.
Occupational Health and Safety - Approach and Governance
Occupational Health and Safety remains a core pillar of our sustainability strategy and is guided by our Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability (EHS&S) Policy. During the reporting year, we reviewed and updated the EHS&S Policy and refreshed our goals to align with evolving regulatory expectations and organizational priorities. Our comprehensive OHS management system clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of EHS personnel, enabling seamless integration of safety practices and active worker participation in preventive measures.

We will scale our investments in talent development, fast-track capability building through digital and experiential learning, and build a strong, globally connected team.
Guided by a legacy of scientific excellence, responsibility, and institution-building, we remain firmly committed to developing talent equipped to respond to the evolving healthcare landscape with agility and purpose. We will continue to place equal emphasis on upholding the highest standards of occupational health and safety – recognizing that a safe, secure, and healthy workplace is fundamental to sustained performance, trust, and long-term employee engagement. Inclusion, well-being, and safety will remain integral to how we shape the employee experience. We will advance diversity and equity through targeted hiring and leadership development, while further building on our safety-first culture by proactively preventing risks and fostering workforce participation in OHS programs. Preventive health, mental well-being, and safe working conditions for employees, workers, and contractors, ensuring that care extends across our operations and value chain, will constitute our priorities.
We are embedding rigorous accountability for ESG, human rights, and occupational health and safety outcomes directly into performance and leadership evaluation. Through data-led insights, real-time safety intelligence, and continuous employee-listening, we convert insight into disciplined, forward-looking action. Our progress is shaped by our people and anchored in the conviction that enduring healthcare institutions are built through sustained commitment and shared responsibility. At Lupin, the future of work extends beyond growth and innovation – it is about shaping workplaces where individuals thrive with dignity, responsibility, and purpose, and where every effort contributes to our collective impact, fuelled by our purpose of catalyzing treatments that transform hope into healing.

Natural Capital
Catalyzing climate action
At Lupin, environmental sustainability is not merely an obligation – it is intrinsic to our philosophy and the way we operate. We recognize the inseparable link between people's health and the natural environment – the air we breathe, the water we depend on, and ecosystems that sustain life – all of which are fundamental to patient well-being, resilient healthcare systems, and the trust stakeholders place in us.
This understanding drives our actions to bring to life our founder's vision and purpose of catalyzing treatments that transform hope into healing. Our Natural Capital stewardship, therefore, underpins our decision-making, manufacturing processes, and efforts to ensure access to medicines for patients worldwide.
In FY26, we enhanced our commitment to strengthening Natural Capital across climate action, water management, circularity, biodiversity, product responsibility, and environmental risk management. Our efforts are directed toward responsibly reducing our environmental footprint while enhancing operational resilience, improving resource security, and contributing to healthier communities – today and in the future.

To translate these learnings into action, we have established clear, quantifiable waste reduction targets and monitor progress through internal governance mechanisms. Continuous improvement enables us to evaluate and adopt emerging technologies and operational practices that support waste minimization.
We conduct capacity building and awareness programs on waste reduction practices. We have established a well-defined recycling and resource recovery system that minimizes the volume of waste. Our waste diversion performance is independently verified by an accredited third-party agency, reinforcing transparency and accountability.
Aiming to strengthen our waste management practices, we have completed a comprehensive Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) gap assessment across four operations and are implementing corrective actions. We anticipate achieving third-party ZWL certification in the upcoming year.
Aligned with the 3R framework – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle – we maintain a detailed inventory of hazardous, non-hazardous, and biomedical waste. All waste is recycled or disposed off through authorized service providers, in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
End-of-Life Management
- Plastic waste is collected from the market under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations and handed over to authorized vendors for recycling and energy recovery.
- Hazardous waste is sent to authorized vendors for safe disposal through landfill, incineration, or co-processing in cement kilns.
- E-waste and battery waste are sent to approved recyclers to ensure safe and compliant disposal.
- Biomedical waste is sent to authorized biomedical waste management facilities for incineration and safe disposal in line with regulatory requirements.
- Non-hazardous waste is transferred to approved vendors for environmentally responsible disposal.
We adhere to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines and the Plastic Waste Management Rules, including the EPR framework for plastic waste management. We remain 100% compliant with EPR obligations. In FY26, we facilitated the collection and disposal or recycling of 3,717 MT of plastic waste through authorized waste management partners.
Case Study

We are a member of the India Business and Biodiversity Initiative (IBBI). Through this membership, we reaffirm our commitment to integrating biodiversity considerations into our operations and supporting the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
Over the past two years, we have completed biodiversity assessments across 10 of our manufacturing facilities, including four sites assessed in FY26. These assessments focused on understanding dependencies, impacts, and risks across our operations and supply chain. They covered both the core site area and a 10-kilometer buffer zone around each location. Data was collected through field studies using systematic plot sampling. Floral species were assessed using the quadrat method, while faunal species were evaluated through line and belt transect methods. Species diversity was analyzed using Simpson's Diversity Index and Simpson's Evenness Index.
To complement field assessments, we used the ENCORE tool to evaluate biodiversity impacts and dependencies. Inputs such as land use, water consumption, waste generation, and chemical usage helped identify areas of high biodiversity value and vulnerability. The World Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature Biodiversity Risk Filter was also applied to assess physical and reputational risks related to biodiversity. The assessment and analysis revealed areas of focus covering pollution, high dependencies on ecosystem services, including education and research services, water supply and purification, and water flow regulation.
Findings of the Biodiversity Assessment
- No Lupin facilities are located near any UNESCO World Heritage site
- No Lupin facilities are near any of UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Reserves
- No Lupin facilities are located near any Ramsar site
- None of the faunal species at these plants feature in the IUCN RED list or have a protected status
- None of the manufacturing plants is located within or near legally protected or biodiversity habitat areas
Additionally, we have not modified any land or sea ecosystems at the locations where we operate, and no conversion of natural ecosystems or conversion from one intensively used or modified ecosystem to another occurred during FY26.

Risk Governance

We use the 'three lines of defense' model to uphold strong and comprehensive risk governance. The oversight rests with the Board of Directors, supported by the Risk Management Committee (RMC), which guides the effectiveness of our risk management and internal control systems. The RMC reviews and endorses the enterprise risk portfolio and defines risk appetite, taking into account global interdependencies and emerging risks. Meeting biannually, the Committee evaluates management actions, ensuring our responses remain proactive, thoughtful, and closely aligned with our strategic priorities.
The Risk Management Cross-Functional Team leads the execution of this framework, working with designated risk owners to assess mitigation effectiveness, track evolving exposures, and recalibrate risk thresholds. Risk assessments and mitigation strategies are elevated to the RMC, while functional and site teams sustain continuous oversight and disciplined execution across the organization.
Assurance on the design and operating effectiveness of controls that underpin the ERM framework is provided by the independent internal audit team. The annual audit plan follows a risk-based approach and is guided by the enterprise risk portfolio, reflecting changes in the internal and external environment, regulatory developments, prior audit outcomes, and management insights. Audit coverage is prioritized based on risk likelihood and impact, including emerging and systemic risks, and aligned with defined risk appetite and governance priorities.
The internal audit team systematically reports key observations, control gaps, and improvement opportunities to the management and governance forums, while rigorously tracking the closure of
Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA). Audit insights and emerging trends actively inform the continuous refinement of risk assessments, recalibration of risk ratings, and advancement of mitigation strategies and internal control frameworks.
To sustain adherence to global benchmarks, external experts are engaged every two years to independently review our audit processes. Reflecting our commitment to global best practices, ISO 31000 Risk Management Principles are being progressively integrated into our enterprise risk management approach, further strengthening its depth, rigor, and resilience.
The Global CFO, serving as Chief Risk Officer, steers the integration of risk management practices across business units and global functions and provides regular oversight updates to the Risk Management Committee of the Board on the effectiveness of risk management processes and internal controls.

Risk Management Framework

We continuously monitor the business landscape to identify emerging risks and opportunities, both internally and externally.
An annual Double Materiality Assessment evaluates risks from both financial and impact perspectives. Risk prioritization is further guided by inputs from risk owners across the organization. Annually, we undertake a comprehensive assessment of risk exposure by evaluating the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks. Scenario planning and sensitivity analyses are continually strengthened to enhance preparedness for strategic and operational risks and to anticipate potential disruptions.
Each identified risk and opportunity is assigned to designated risk owners, typically senior leadership (Lupin Presidents), who are supported by site and functional teams, to develop and implement appropriate mitigation plans. Progress is monitored through quarterly risk reviews, with biannual updates, including the refreshed risk register, presented to the Board-level Risk Management Committee.
The achievement of risk mitigation actions and objectives is integrated into annual performance evaluations, with direct implications for executive and employee compensation and incentives, thus reinforcing accountability across the organization.

Basis of our conclusion
As part of our independent assurance engagement, we have evaluated the reported environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information against the agreed criteria. Throughout the engagement, we exercised rigorous professional judgment and maintained a high level of professional skepticism to ensure the integrity and reliability of our conclusions.
As part of the assurance process, multi-disciplinary team of assurance specialists performed assurance work for selected sites of Lupin. We carried out the following activities:
- We adopted a risk-based approach, that is, we concentrated our assurance efforts on the issues of high material relevance to the Company's business and its key stakeholders. Reviewed the disclosures in the Report. Our focus included general disclosures, GRI topic-specific disclosures, and any other key metrics as per stated reporting criteria.
- Understanding the key systems, processes, and controls for collecting, managing, and reporting the non-financial ESG disclosures in the Report.
- Walk-through of key data sets. Understand and test, on a sample basis, the processes used to adhere to and evaluate adherence to the reporting requirements.
- Collect and evaluate documentary evidence and management representations supporting adherence to the reporting requirements.
- Interviews with the senior managers responsible for the management of disclosures and review of selected evidence to support environmental KPIs and metrics disclosed in the Report. We were free to choose interviewees and interviewed those with overall responsibility for monitoring, data collation, and reporting the selected ESG disclosures.
- DNV audit team conducted on-site and remote audits for corporate offices and sites. Sample based assessment of site-specific data disclosures was carried out. We were free to choose sites for conducting our assessment.
- Reviewed the process of reporting as defined in the reporting criteria and assurance methodology.
- Verification of the consolidated reported performance disclosures in context to the Principle of Completeness as per VeriSustain™ Protocol V6.0, for a limited level of assurance for the disclosure.
Our Conclusion:
On the basis of the assessment undertaken and agreed scope of work, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the disclosures (as mentioned in Annexure I of this statement) are not fairly stated and are not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the reporting criteria.
Principles as per DNV VeriSustain™ Protocol (V6.0):
1. Materiality
The process of determining the issues that are most relevant to an organization and its stakeholders.
The Report explains the double materiality assessment process carried out by the Company, which has considered concerns of internal and external stakeholders, and inputs from peers and the industry, as well as issues of relevance in terms of impact for Lupin's business. The list of topics has been prioritized, reviewed and validated, and the Company has indicated that there is no significant change in material topics from the previous reporting period.
Nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Report does not meet the requirements related to the Principle of Materiality.
2. Stakeholder inclusiveness
The participation of stakeholders in developing and achieving an accountable and strategic response to Sustainability.
The Report brings out the stakeholders who have been identified as significant to Lupin, as well as the modes of engagement established by the Company to interact with these stakeholder groups. The key topics of concern and needs of each stakeholder group, which have been identified through these channels of engagement, are further brought out in the Report.
Nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Report does not meet the requirements related to the Principle of Stakeholder Inclusiveness.
3. Responsiveness
The extent to which an organization responds to stakeholder issues.
The Report adequately brings out the Company's policies, strategies, management systems, and governance mechanisms in place to respond to topics identified as material and significant concerns of key stakeholder groups. Nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Report does not meet the requirements related to the Principle of Responsiveness.
Nothing has come to our attention to believe that the Report does not meet the requirements related to the Principle of Responsiveness.

How much of all the information that has been identified as material to the organization and its stakeholders is reported?
The Report brings out the Company's performance, strategies and approaches related to the environmental, social and governance issues that it has identified as material for its operational locations coming under the boundary of the Report, for the chosen reporting period, while applying and considering the requirements of the Principle of Completeness.
Nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Report does not meet the Principle of Completeness with respect to scope, boundary and time.
5. Accuracy
The extent to which the Report provides correct and sufficiently detailed information to allow an assessment of the organization's impacts.
The Report brings out the systems and processes that the Company has set in place to capture and report its performance related to identified material topics across its reporting boundary. The Report presents both qualitative and quantitative information in a manner that is consistent with available evidence and other reported disclosures. It clearly distinguishes between measured and estimated data, provides adequate descriptions of measurement methodologies, and outlines assumptions and limitations where applicable. Some of the data inaccuracies identified in the Report during the verification process were found to be attributable to transcription, interpretation, and aggregation errors. These data inaccuracies have been communicated for correction and the related disclosures were reviewed post correction.

6. Reliability
The extent to which the Report presents information that can be consistently and dependably verified and used for decision-making.
The Report provides disclosures that are supported by documented evidence, validated data sources, and established internal controls. It outlines the processes used to collect, compile, and review information, ensuring that the data presented is dependable and reproducible. The inclusion of third-party assurance further enhances the reliability of the disclosures and supports informed decision-making by stakeholders.
Nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Report does not meet the requirements related to the Principle of Reliability.
7. Neutrality/Balance
The extent to which a Report provides a balanced account of an organization's performance, delivered in a neutral tone.
The Report brings out the disclosures related to Lupin's performance during the reporting period in a neutral tone in terms of content and presentation, while considering the overall macroeconomic and industry environment.
Nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Report does not meet the requirements related to the Principle of Neutrality.

This addresses the requirement related to the presentation of the organization's performance in its own sustainability and general business context, i.e., a local, regional and international context.
The Report outlines how the Company monitors and evaluates its impact across local, regional, and global sustainability contexts. It reflects the Company's efforts to align its performance with broader societal needs and planetary boundaries to monitor, measure and evaluate its significant direct and indirect impacts linked to identified material topics across the Company, its significant value chain entities and key stakeholder groups.

Energy consumption data is reported as per the BRSR core Industry Standard requirements
** Scope 1 GHG emissions are calculated based on the emission factors derived from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) and also emission factors are sourced from the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA 2025), US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Fuel-specific energy content values are based on IPCC 2006 guidelines, with Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) adopted from IPCC AR6. For refrigerant emissions, GWPs are calculated using IPCC AR6 values, including weighted averages for blended refrigerants based on Refrigerant composition declared in the technical datasheets. Scope 2 GHG emissions for Indian operations are calculated using the Central Electricity Authority (CEA Version 21.0) Grid Emission Factor - Weighted Average Emission Rate (Incl RES), including cross-border electricity transfers, valued at 0.71 kg CO₂/kWh. Scope 2 emissions for international locations are calculated using country/region-specific factors sourced from recognized references such as the US EPA (regional grid factors), emission factor databases for Brazil from Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation - Average Factor for Corporate Inventories, Jan 2025 and for Mexico from National Emissions Registry (RENE), Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, March 2025). Where applicable, market-based considerations are applied in line with GHG Protocol guidance.
*** Scope 3 GHG emissions are calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, using a combination of primary data, secondary databases, and estimation approaches. Emission factors are sourced from Defra (2025), US EPA, IEA, and IPCC. Scope 3 emissions have been calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard using a hierarchical approach that prioritizes supplier-specific primary data where available. Purchased goods and services and capital goods emissions are estimated using a combination of activity-based and spend-based methodologies, applying economic input-output emission factors from US EPA Supply Chain Emission Factors with Margins (2022) and supplementary factors from the UK DEFRA Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (2025). Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 and 2 are calculated using well-to-tank fuel emission factors and electricity transmission and distribution loss factors sourced from UK DEFRA 2025 and the International Energy Agency World Energy Outlook 2025. Upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, and employee commuting emissions are estimated using activity data where available and mode- or treatment-specific emission factors from UK DEFRA 2025 where primary data was not available. Processing of sold products emissions are calculated using actual sold quantities of the products and application of the company's estimated energy performance Index; for Use of sold products is calculated using composition for the HFC gas in the product & by application of corresponding GWP from (AR-6), while end-of-life treatment emission are calculated using actual sold quantities of the products using the emission factors from UK DEFRA 2025. Emissions from Franchises are calculated using estimated fuel and energy consumption data with country-specific grid emission factor and fuel emission factors derived from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

Board Meetings
At Lupin, effective board meetings are built on the following core pillars:

The Board and Committee meetings are scheduled well in advance with a two-year calendar finalized in consultation with all the Directors. Additionally, in consultation with the Lead Independent Director and drawing upon insights from the Board evaluation feedback, the Company formulates an annual cadence for the Board and Committee meetings. This cadence provides advance visibility into key strategic, financial, governance and compliance matters proposed for deliberation, thereby enabling informed decision-making by the Board and its Committees.
The meetings of the Board and its Committees are held either physically or via video conferencing mode. The Directors are also provided with the facility to participate through video conferencing, in case of physical meetings. The agenda for the Board and Committee meetings, along with detailed notes, are circulated to the Directors through a secured meeting portal at least seven days in advance of the meeting, except in cases where meetings are convened at a shorter notice to transact urgent business. All material information is incorporated in the agenda to facilitate informed, meaningful, and focused deliberations at the meeting. At the beginning of each financial year, prior consent of the Board is obtained for the circulation of pre-read materials which are in the nature of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information at a shorter notice. In exceptional circumstances, additional agenda items may be taken up with the permission of the Chairperson and the consent of majority of the Directors present at the meeting. In case of urgent matters, approvals are sought by way of circular resolution. The Directors may also propose the inclusion of any agenda items for consideration at Board or Committee meetings.
The management ensures that all information required under the Act and the Listing Regulations are provided to the Board and its Committees. The CEO, Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer, and SBU heads make detailed presentations at board meetings, thereby facilitating the Board with the necessary insights to take informed decisions.
Following each quarterly board meeting, an Executive Session is held with the Independent Directors, the CEO and the Managing Director. The session reviews and summarizes key actions arising from the meeting and outlines the context and priorities for the next board meeting. The Independent Directors also meet separately, without the presence of the CEO and Managing Director, to assess the Board's effectiveness, identify matters requiring attention and provide constructive feedback to the management, where necessary.
The Company ensures timely communication of key decisions taken by the Board and its Committees to relevant stakeholders. Progress on action items and status updates are placed before the Board and Committees at subsequent meetings for review and noting.
As per the statutory requirements, the Board must meet at least four times in a financial year with a maximum gap of 120 days between any two consecutive meetings. The Board met eight times during the financial year 2025-26 on May 14, 2025, August 05, 2025, September 17, 2025, November 06, 2025, December 16, 2025, January 06, 2026, February 12, 2026 and March 26, 2026.

7. Statement by director responsible for the business responsibility report, highlighting ESG related challenges, targets and achievements (listed entity has flexibility regarding the placement of this disclosure)
Anchored in Strength. Positioned for the Future.
At Lupin, sustainability is integral to our ambition of building a resilient and responsible healthcare enterprise. We understand that the health of people, communities, and ecosystems is deeply interconnected. By embedding environmental, social, and governance considerations into our business decisions, we seek to strengthen long-term value creation while delivering quality healthcare solutions that patients and healthcare systems can rely on.
Over the years, our sustainability agenda has matured from the establishment of foundational systems and governance structures into a more embedded approach across strategy, operating decisions, and enterprise priorities. In FY26, this approach translated into meaningful progress across several critical areas. We increased renewable energy adoption across operations and achieved over 50% renewable energy usage for the first time in India. Focused investments in water conservation, recycling, and process efficiency helped us maintain our water-positive status for the fifth consecutive year. We also made measurable progress on circularity, with approximately 45% water recyclability and 91% of hazardous waste directed toward co-processing.
Responsible operations and robust governance were central to our performance during the year. We maintained zero Class 1 recalls, reflecting our commitment to quality and patient safety, while reinforcing compliance, ethics, cybersecurity, and supply chain oversight across the organization. Our efforts to expand access to healthcare reached ~2.6 million people through patient assistance, diagnostics, and disease awareness initiatives, while our community programs impacted 510,805 beneficiaries. Employee volunteering also reflected the collective spirit of Lupinyttis, with 35,400+ hours contributed during the year. In parallel, ESG engagement across our supplier ecosystem gained further momentum, supporting more responsible and resilient business practices across our value chain.
Our progress during the year was reflected in several important recognitions. Our climate targets were validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), while Lupin earned CDP 'A' ratings for both Climate Change and Water Security. We were also featured for the first time in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class (DJBIC) Indices 2026.
Our BRSR reporting reflects more than regulatory compliance. It represents our commitment to transparent, consistent, and high-quality sustainability disclosure. The report presents a structured view of our sustainability priorities, linking strategy, risks, targets, and performance in a manner that enables stakeholders to assess our progress with clarity and confidence.
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2025-2026
Looking ahead, our focus will be on building a business that brings together scientific innovation, responsible manufacturing, trusted healthcare solutions, and long-term sustainability across global markets. We believe sustainability will play an increasingly important role in shaping Lupin's resilience and long-term value creation, while reinforcing our responsibility to the patients and communities we serve.

- Describe the processes in place to safely reclaim your products for reusing, recycling and disposing at the end of life, for (a) Plastics (including packaging) (b) E-waste (c) Hazardous waste and (d) other waste.
Lupin has established structured processes to manage end-of-life waste across its operations, aligned with the waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle and responsible disposal, with a focus on minimizing landfill disposal.
| Waste type | Waste management procedure in place |
|---|---|
| Plastic (including packaging) | Plastic waste is segregated at source and directed for recycling or co-processing through authorized recyclers. Wherever feasible, recovery mechanisms are enabled through recycling partnerships to promote material circularity. |
| E-waste | E-waste materials are routed exclusively through authorized recyclers with defined take-back and recovery mechanisms to ensure safe handling, reuse of components where possible and environmentally sound disposal. |
| Hazardous waste | Hazardous waste is sent to authorized recyclers, pre-processors, cement industries for co-processing, or Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs), ensuring compliant and controlled end-of-life treatment. |
| Other waste (wastepaper and paper products) | Materials are sent to authorized recyclers, while specific waste streams such as boiler ash are repurposed (e.g. to brick manufacturers) or disposed of in a controlled manner. |
To strengthen governance and oversight, Lupin undertakes due diligence, authorization checks and periodic monitoring of recyclers and TSDF partners, supported by documentation and tracking mechanisms across the waste management lifecycle. These processes ensure traceability, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement in sustainable waste management practices.

Essential Indicators
- Describe the processes for identifying key stakeholder groups of the entity.
Lupin follows a structured, Board-approved stakeholder engagement framework as part of its Corporate Sustainability approach, focused on identifying and prioritizing stakeholders based on their influence on and impact from the Company's operations. The process involves three key steps:
- Stakeholder identification across the value chain, including shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, regulators and communities.
- Prioritization through double materiality assessment, where stakeholders are evaluated based on their level of influence and the extent to which they are impacted by the Company's activities.
- Validation of material issues through internal and external consultations to ensure relevance and completeness
Through continuous engagement and assessment of critical ESG material issues, Lupin ensures that stakeholder expectations are clearly understood and appropriately addressed. Based on this exercise, Lupin has identified its primary stakeholder groups to include: investors/shareholders, employees, customers, channel partners, franchises, suppliers, regulators and government, research analysts, healthcare professionals, non governmental organisations (NGOs), communities and media. Engagement is undertaken through defined channels such as meetings, surveys, disclosures and digital platforms at regular intervals, ensuring that stakeholder inputs are systematically integrated into business strategy and sustainability initiatives.
This structured approach enables Lupin to cultivate strong, sustainable, and mutually beneficial relationships with all stakeholder groups.

Leadership Indicators
- Provide the processes for consultation between stakeholders and the Board on economic, environmental, and social topics or if consultation is delegated, how is feedback from such consultations provided to the Board.
Lupin has established defined processes to enable consultation with stakeholders on economic, environmental, and social (EES) topics and ensure that feedback is systematically escalated to the Board. Stakeholder consultation is undertaken through multiple structured channels, including investor interactions, employee surveys, customer engagements, supplier assessments, community interfaces, and regulatory consultations. These forums enable the Company to capture stakeholder perspectives on ESG priorities, risks and emerging risks.
Flow of feedback and escalations:
- Inputs gathered through these channels are first consolidated and reviewed by functional teams and ESG leads.
- Key themes, risks and material issues are then evaluated by the ESG Core Committee.
- Relevant insights are subsequently escalated to the Board-designated Sustainability and CSR Committee (SCSR) for review and strategic direction.
This structured flow ensures that stakeholder feedback is translated into actionable insights and integrated into policies, risk management frameworks and long-term business strategy while enabling Board-level oversight of ESG-related matters.
- Whether stakeholder consultation is used to support the identification and management of environmental, and social topics (Yes/No). If so, provide details of instances as to how the inputs received from stakeholders on these topics were incorporated into policies and activities of the entity.
Yes, Lupin uses stakeholder consultation, including its double materiality assessment and ongoing engagement mechanisms, to identify and manage environmental and social topics. Input received from stakeholders is systematically translated into policies, goals and programme design.
Stakeholder feedback directly forms:
- Policy and framework updates, including the strengthening of ESG governance and sustainability priorities
- Goal setting, such as defining focus areas for climate action, responsible sourcing and community development
- Program design and implementation through community initiatives led by the Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF)
For example, stakeholder inputs highlighting the need for enhanced community health and livelihood support have informed the design of targeted rural development and healthcare programmes under LHWRF. Similarly, environmental concerns raised through stakeholder engagement have contributed to sharpening Lupin’s focus on resource efficiency and waste management initiatives.
- Provide details of instances of engagement with, and actions taken to, address the concerns of vulnerable/marginalized stakeholder groups.
Lupin engages with vulnerable and marginalized communities through structured need assessments, continuous dialogue and partnerships implemented via the Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF).

^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2025-2026
Based on these inputs, in FY26, LHWRF adopted a more strategic and focused approach to deepen impact and strengthen community ownership. Lupin has designed targeted interventions across three core areas – livelihood, health & nutrition and water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH):
- Livelihoods: In response to income instability and limited market access, programmes focus on skill development, strengthening farmer value chains, and improving access to markets, resulting in enhanced income opportunities and community resilience.
- Health & Nutrition: Addressing gaps in healthcare access, initiatives have expanded community-level healthcare services and awareness, contributing to improved health outcomes in underserved areas.
- WASH: In areas with inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure, interventions have improved access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities, leading to better hygiene practices and reduced health risks.
These programmes are implemented in close collaboration with local stakeholders, ensuring community ownership and sustained impact, with measurable improvements in quality of life across Lupin's key areas of operations.

These include installing off-grid solar PV plants at manufacturing sites, procuring renewable energy through power purchase agreements (PPAs), transitioning to cleaner biofuels, implementing energy efficient best practices, shifting from air to sea shipments and reduced packaging. Key GHG emission reduction initiatives include:
- Renewable power capacity of 22 MW (21 MW solar and 1 MW hybrid) was commissioned, increasing the share of renewable power from 19% in FY25 to 33% in FY26, with an additional 3.23 MW solar PPA signed for future capacity expansion.
- The overall share of renewable energy (renewable power and renewable fuels) increased from 39% in FY25 to 51% in FY26, driven by solar, wind/hybrid power procurement and increased use of biomass fuel.
- Biomass-based briquette boilers were installed and expanded, enabling a significant shift from fossil fuels (PNG/LSHS/coal) to renewable thermal energy and achieving 96–98% renewable steam generation at key facilities.
- Extensive energy efficiency measures were implemented, including installation of energy-efficient chillers, pumps, motors, AHUs, EC fans, VFDs, high-efficiency cooling towers, and LED lighting, resulting in lower electricity consumption and emissions.
- Process optimization initiatives such as pump head and flow optimization, closed-loop chilled brine systems, heat recovery through air-to-air heat exchangers, and efficient compressed air systems were deployed to reduce energy intensity.
- Transitioning shipments from air to sea freight has helped reduce logistics costs and significantly lower carbon emissions. As a result, air pallet shipments to the U.S. declined to 17% in FY26, down from 34% in FY24, marking a record low.

- Packaging material use has been reduced and efficiency improved by eliminating secondary cartons, digitizing patient information via QR codes, and optimizing packaging designs, without compromising safety or compliance. These initiatives collectively saved over 56 MT of paper, delivered significant cost and logistics savings, improved information accessibility, and reduced the carbon footprint across markets.
These initiatives collectively demonstrate a structured transition toward low-carbon energy, reduced fossil fuel dependency, and sustained reduction in GHG emissions across manufacturing and R&D operations.

Value Chain Reporting as per SEBI Guidelines
Introduction
In line with SEBI's BRSR framework, listed entities are expected to progressively extend ESG disclosures to key upstream and downstream value chain partners. As per guidelines value chain ESG disclosures are voluntary for Lupin Limited in FY2026.
To strengthen readiness for future reporting requirements, Lupin has proactively engaged key suppliers through structured capacity-building programmes and a digital data collection platform to enhance ESG data availability, quality, and transparency across its value chain.
Approach Adopted
Lupin recognizes that a significant portion of its sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities extend across its value chain. In line with the BRSR Core framework, the Company has initiated structured engagement with key suppliers to strengthen ESG performance assessment and disclosure capabilities. During FY2026, Lupin deployed a digital ESG data-collection platform and further strengthened its supplier engagement.
Key actions taken:
- Deployment of a digital ESG data-collection platform for supplier reporting and monitoring.
- Implementation of a strengthened supplier ESG assessment and evaluation framework to evaluate sustainability performance.
- Structured supplier awareness and capability-building initiatives to improve understanding of ESG expectations and disclosure requirements.
- Ongoing engagement and collaboration with suppliers to strengthen ESG integration and improve data quality over time.
Given the varying levels of ESG maturity across suppliers and the evolving nature of reporting requirements, data coverage and completeness are expected to improve progressively. The current assessment establishes an important baseline for value chain ESG disclosures and identifies opportunities for enhanced collaboration and performance improvement. Lupin remains committed to expanding ESG disclosure coverage and improving data quality across its value chain through continued stakeholder engagement.

Independent Auditor's Report
TO THE MEMBERS OF LUPIN LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Lupin Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Holding Company") and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group"), and its joint venture, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the consolidated statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on separate/consolidated financial statements/financial information of such subsidiaries and a joint venture as were audited by the other auditors, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and joint venture as at 31 March 2026, of its consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and joint venture in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provisions of the Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of reports of the other auditors referred to in paragraph (a) of the "Other Matters" section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate/consolidated financial statements of components audited by them, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
(1) Revenue Recognition
Refer note 1B (m) of material accounting policies and note 30 and 42 to consolidated financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| Revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products is recognized when control over goods is transferred to a customer. The actual point in time when revenue is recognized varies depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contracts entered with customers. The Group has many customers operating in various geographies and sales contracts with customers have distinct terms relating to the recognition of revenue, the right of return and price adjustments. We identified the recognition of revenue from sale of products as a key audit matter considering: Revenue is a key performance indicator for the group. Accordingly, there could be pressure to meet the expectations of investors/other stakeholders and/or to meet revenue targets stipulated in performance incentive schemes for a reporting period. We have considered that there is a risk of fraud related to revenue being overstated by recognition in the wrong period or before control has passed at period end. Group's assessment of accrual towards discounts, right to return, and other price adjustments is complex and requires significant judgments and estimates in relation to contractual agreements/ commercial terms across various geographies. Any change in these estimates can have a significant financial impact. | To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures and procedures performed by component auditors, amongst others, include the following: - Compared the accounting policies in respect of revenue recognition, judgments in estimation and accounting treatment of various discount schemes, right to return and other price adjustments with applicable accounting standards to test for compliance. - Tested design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the Company's internal controls including general IT controls and key IT application controls over recognition of revenue and measurement of various discount schemes, right to return and other price adjustments. - For a sample of year-end sales, we verified contractual terms of sales invoices/contracts, shipping documents and acknowledged delivery receipts for those transactions including management assessment and quantification of any sales reversal for undelivered goods. - Obtained management workings for amounts recognised towards various discount schemes, right to return and other price adjustments as at year end. On a sample basis, tested the underlying calculations for amounts recorded as accruals and provisions towards the aforementioned obligations, as per the terms of related schemes, contracts and regulations and traced the underlying data to source documents. |
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2025-2026
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| - Evaluated historical accuracy of the Company's estimates of year-end accruals pertaining to aforesaid arrangements made in the previous years to identify any management bias. | |
| - Tested any unusual non-standard journal entries that impacted revenue recognized during the year end. | |
| - Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of disclosures given in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards. |
(2) Assessment of Impairment of Goodwill
Refer note no. 1B(g) of material accounting policies and note 52 to consolidated financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The carrying value of goodwill aggregates to Rs. 26,585.3 millions as at 31 March 2026. Goodwill is evaluated for any indicators of impairment and is tested annually as required under Ind AS 36. The group evaluates for any impairment with respect to goodwill annually, at each cash generating unit (CGU) level. The recoverable amount of the CGUs to which such goodwill pertains, being the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal, is compared with the carrying value of goodwill to identify any impairment. Value in use is usually derived from discounted future cash flows. The discounted cash flow model uses several assumptions. These include estimates of long-term growth rate, discount rate, terminal value growth rates, potential product obsolescence, new product launches and the weighted average cost of capital. Considering the inherent uncertainty, subjectivity and judgement involved and the significance of the value of the goodwill, impairment assessment of goodwill has been considered as a key audit matter. | To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures and procedures performed by component auditors, amongst others, include the following: - Tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over impairment assessment including approval of forecasts and valuation models used. - Assessed the valuation methodology used by the Company and tested the mathematical accuracy of the impairment models. - Assessed identification of CGUs with reference to the guidance in the applicable accounting standards. - Evaluated valuation assumptions with macro-economic factors, such as discount rates, growth in sales, probability of success of new products, operating and selling costs used, in consultation with valuation specialist. - Performed sensitivity analysis of key assumptions and evaluated past performances where relevant to assess accuracy of the forecasts made. - Evaluated adequacy of disclosures given in the consolidated financial statements. |
Other Information
The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the information included in the Holding Company's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor's reports thereon. The information included in the Holding Company's annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Holding Company's annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs, consolidated profit/loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its joint venture in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Consolidated 311
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its joint venture to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of such entities or business activities within the Group and its joint venture to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in paragraph (a) of the section titled "Other Matter" in this audit report.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor's Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Lupin Limited for the year ended 31 March 2026
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid consolidated financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)
Opinion
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Lupin Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Holding Company") as of and for the year ended 31 March 2026, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013 which are its subsidiary companies, as of that date.
In our opinion and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of subsidiary companies, as were audited by the other auditors, the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India which are its subsidiary companies, have, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2026, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by such companies considering the essential components of such internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the respective company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors of the relevant subsidiary companies in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements 317
^{}[] Consolidated
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not
be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements insofar as it relates to six subsidiaries, which is a company incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding report of the auditor of such company incorporated in India.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matters.

All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest million, unless otherwise indicated.
Basis of measurement
iii) The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for:
(i) certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments);
(ii) Non-current assets classified as held for sale which are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell;

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Use of Significant Estimates and Judgements
iv) The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialized. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Management considers the accounting estimates and assumptions discussed below to be its critical accounting estimates and, accordingly, provide an explanation of each below.
Information about critical judgments made in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are included in the following accounting policies.

- Impairment of non-financial assets (Refer note g and note 54)
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Consolidated 325
NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
- Goodwill impairment (Refer note g and note 52)
- Impairment of financial assets (Refer note I and note 57)
- Measurement of transaction price in a revenue transaction (refund liabilities) (Refer note m, note 28 and note 42)
- Provision for Income Taxes and uncertain tax Positions (Refer note k and note 48).
b) Principles of Consolidation:
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities that are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.
In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances as mentioned in those policies.
The financial statement of Subsidiaries used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Group.
Joint Ventures (Equity Accounted Investees)
A Joint Venture is a Joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Investments in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognised at cost. The carrying value of the Company's investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Company does not consolidate entities where the Non-Controlling Interest ("NCI") holders have certain significant participating rights that provide for effective involvement in significant decisions in the ordinary course of business of such entities. When the Company's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
The financial statement of Joint Ventures used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Group.
Consolidation procedure
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group has been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding assets, liabilities, equity, income, expense and cash flows.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full while preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's portion of equity of each subsidiary are also eliminated.
Unrealised gains or losses arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company's interest in the investee.
Non-controlling interests ("NCI")
NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition.
Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests' share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.
Changes in the Group's equity interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
c) Property, Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:
I. Recognition and Measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
- its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
- any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management.
- the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Group incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
- income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of the item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only

The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use. The cost of intangible assets as at 01.04.2016, the Group's date of transition to Ind AS, was determined with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of transition to Ind AS.
Expenditure on research and development eligible for capitalisation are carried as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.
II. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and cost of the item can be measured reliably.
III. Derecognition of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are derecognised either on their disposal or where no future economic benefits are

expected from their use. Losses arising on such derecognition are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss, and are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of respective intangible assets as on the date of derecognition.
IV. Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on Straight Line Method as follows:
| Particulars | Estimated Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Computer Software | 2 to 6 years |
| Product Related Intangibles: | |
| - Trademark and Licenses | 3 to 13 years |
| - Dossiers/Marketing Rights | 5 to 20 years |
| - Knowhow | 5 years |
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets and the amortisation period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortization method is revised to reflect the changed pattern, if any.
e) Non-current assets held for sale:
Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and the assets of disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.
f) Research and Development:
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the respective heads in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred.
Development costs of products are also charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless following condition are satisfied in which case such expenditure is capitalised
- the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it can be made available for use or sale;
- the Group has the intention to complete the asset and use or sell it;
- the Group has the ability to use or sell the asset;
- the future economic benefits are probable;
- the Group has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development reliably.
The amount capitalised comprises of expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis for creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, Plant and Equipment utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, Plant and Equipment.
Expenditure on in-licensed development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised, if the cost can be reliably measured. The product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use and sell the asset.
Payments to third parties that generally take the form of up-front payments and milestones for in-licensed products, compounds and Intellectual Property (IP) are capitalised since the probability of expected future economic benefits criterion is always considered to be satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets.
g) Impairment of non-financial assets:
The carrying values of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment, if any indication of impairment exists.
If the carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognised for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the cash-generating unit for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets ("cash-generating unit").
When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent, the amount was previously charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets, such reversal is not recognised.

Goodwill impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the Group. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Group using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involves, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates.
Impairment of CMPs/ANDA filings/Acquired In-Process Research and Development
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are subject to amortisation. Intangible Assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets are estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Such impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Intangible Assets under development are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss.
Management judgement is required in the area of intangible asset impairment, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred that may indicate that the related asset values may not be recoverable; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset in the Group.
h) Foreign Currency Transactions/Translations:
i) Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of entities within the Group at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate of the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
iii) Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at reporting date at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
iv) In case of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Parent Company's functional currency, the assets and liabilities of such foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising upon acquisition, are translated to the reporting currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of such foreign operations are translated to the reporting currency at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented within equity as part of FCTR. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as a part of gain or loss on disposal.
i) Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
I. Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets (excluding trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets (other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added to the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at the transaction price.
Purchases or sales of financial assets including mutual fund that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Classification and subsequent measurement
The Group classifies a financial asset in accordance with the below criteria:
- the Group's business model for managing financial assets; and
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Based on the above criteria, the Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories:
i) Debt instruments at amortised cost.
ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
iii) Derivatives and Equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
Financial assets at amortised cost
A 'financial asset' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
ii) Contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in "Other Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to Trade and Other receivables.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income. However, the Group recognises interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as Interest Income using the EIR method.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as FVTPL.
Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Group decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The Group makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Group's financial statements) when:
- the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either:
i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
i) Trade receivables;
ii) Financial assets measured at amortised cost (other than trade receivables).
In case of trade receivables, the Group follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Financial assets classified as amortised cost (listed as (ii) above), subsequent to initial recognition, are assessed for evidence of impairment at end of each reporting period basis monitoring of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding looking information.
If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Subsequently, if the credit quality of the financial asset improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL allowance recognised (or reversed) during the period is recognised as expense (or income) in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss under the head 'Other expenses'.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
II. Financial Liabilities
Classification
The Group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities measured at FVTPL. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortised cost (loans, borrowings and payables) or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss;
ii) Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings).
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separate embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTOCI, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are

NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as "Finance Costs" in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. If not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amount of income recognised.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Embedded derivatives
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope Ind AS 109, the Group does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hedge accounting
The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Group designates such forward contracts and interest rate swaps in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in OCI and accumulated in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" are reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is immediately transferred to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

III. Fair Value Measurement:
The Company measures financial instruments, such as investments (other than Equity Investments in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associates) and Derivatives at fair values at each Balance Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
(a) Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments quoted in active markets is based on their quoted closing price at the balance sheet date.
(b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques using observable market data. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, standard valuation models based on market parameters for interest rates, yield curves or foreign exchange rates, dealer quotes for similar instruments and use of comparable arm's length transactions.
(c) Level 3: The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
j) Business combinations:
i) The Group accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgment is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
ii) Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive.
iii) The Group measures Goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities in case such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably). When the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in the OCI and accumulates the same in Equity as Capital Reserve where there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase else the gain is directly recognised in Equity as Capital Reserve, without routing the same through OCI.
iv) Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Consideration transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships.
v) Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as Equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within Equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
vi) Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination, such as finder's fees, legal fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
vii) On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Consolidated 333
NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.
viii) Any goodwill that arises on account of such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
ix) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as Equity holders. The difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in Equity.
x) Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control shall be accounted for using the pooling of interests method where the Company is transferee. Assets and Liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amount and no new asset or liability is recognized. Identity of reserves of the transferor Company is preserved by reflecting them in the same form in the Company's financial statements in which they appeared in the financial statement of the transferor Company. The excess between the amount of consideration paid over the share capital of the transferor Company is recognised as a negative amount and the same is disclosed as "Capital Reserve" on business combination. The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements if the business combination date is prior to that date. However, if business combination date is after that date, the financial information in the financial statements is restated from the date of business combination.
k) Income tax:
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Group:
i) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and
ii) Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes are recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes (including those arising from consolidation adjustments such as unrealised profit on inventory etc.).
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of transaction.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
The Group recognises deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
i) When the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
ii) it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:
i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2025-2026
NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognised unless the management based upon its interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter concludes that such benefits will be accepted by the authorities. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts.
1) Inventories:
Inventories of all procured materials, stock-in-trade, finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Cost of raw material, packing materials and stock-in-trade includes all charges in bringing the goods to their present location and condition, including non-creditable taxes and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. However, raw material and packing materials are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, cost of conversion, non-creditable duties and taxes as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
Cost of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct labour. They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
m) Revenue from contract with customers:
Sale of Goods
Revenue from sales of products is recognised at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery, which the Group has determined is when physical possession, legal title and risks and rewards of ownership of the products transfer to the customer and the Group is entitled to payment. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreements. The majority of the Group's contracts related to product sales include only one performance obligation, which is to deliver products to customers based on purchase orders received.
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the transaction price which is consideration received or receivable, net of returns, Goods and Service Tax (GST) and applicable trade discounts, allowances and chargeback. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs billed to the customer.
In arriving at the transaction price, the Group considers the terms of the contract with the customers and its customary business practices. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Group is entitled to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Any amount of variable consideration is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The Group estimates the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method.
Profit share revenues
The Group from time to time enters into marketing arrangements with certain business partners for the sale of its products in certain markets. Under such arrangements, the Group sells its products to the business partners at a non-refundable base purchase price agreed upon in the arrangement and is also entitled to a profit share which is over and above the base purchase price. The profit share is typically dependent on the business partner's ultimate net sale proceeds or net profits, subject to any reductions or adjustments that are required by the terms of the arrangement. Such arrangements typically require the business partner to provide confirmation of units sold and net sales or net profit computations for the products covered under the arrangement.
Revenue in an amount equal to the base sale price is recognised in these transactions upon delivery of products to the business partners. An additional amount representing the profit share component is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Out licensing arrangements, milestone payments and royalties
Revenues include amounts derived from product out-licensing agreements. These arrangements typically consist of an initial up-front payment received on inception of the license and subsequent payments dependent on achieving certain milestones in accordance with the terms prescribed in the agreement. Non-refundable up-front license fees received in connection with product out-licensing agreements are deferred and recognised over the period in which the Group has continuing performance obligations. Milestone payments which are contingent on achieving certain clinical milestones are recognised as revenues on achievement of such milestones, over the performance period depending on the terms of the contract. If milestone payments are creditable against future royalty payments, the milestones are deferred and released over the period in which the royalties are anticipated to be paid.

Refund Liability
The Group accounts for refund liabilities (sales returns) accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Group's estimate of expected sales returns. The Group considers its historical experience of sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Group's business and markets. As required under Ind AS 115, the Group has presented its right to return assets under Other Current Asset and refund liabilities under Other Current Liabilities in the financial statements.
Income from research services
Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed, or when risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, as applicable.
Revenue where performance obligation is transferred over the period of time is recognized using the appropriate measure of progress.
Service Income
Service income mainly comprises of diagnostic services. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognised at a point in time when the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers. Generally, each test represents a separate performance obligation for which revenue is recognised when the test report is generated i.e. when the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Group has assessed that it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation to collection centers/ channel partners. Accordingly, the revenue has been recognised based on the services rendered to collection centers/channel partners.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (referred to as "unbilled revenue") while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (referred to as "unearned revenue").
Income from Export Benefits and Other Incentives
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and/or services are rendered only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received. Export benefits and other incentives have been disclosed under the head "Other Operating Revenue".
Contract balances
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
Other Income:
Interest income
Interest income is recognised with reference to the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income
Dividend from investment is recognised as revenue when right to receive is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Employee Benefits:
Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided and the Group will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the reporting date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid.
Defined benefit plans
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED
^{}[] Integrated Report 2025-2026
NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed periodically by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is measured on the basis of a periodical independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement are recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Other benefit plans
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Group recognises expected cost of short-term employee benefit as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.
p) Share-based payment transactions:
Employees Stock Options Plans (ESOPs)/Lupin Subsidiary Companies Employees Stock Option Plan (SESOP):
The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The expense is recorded for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The increase in Other Equity recognised in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in equity under "Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve". The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.
Cash-settled Transactions:
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date upto, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in Employee Benefits Expense.
q) Leases:
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.
Group as a lessee
The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.
i) Right-of-use asset
The Group recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located.
The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Consolidated

NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii) Lease Liabilities
The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate (IBR). The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group 'would have to pay', which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Group recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
iv) Sale and Leaseback
The right of use arising from leaseback is measured at the proportion of previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to right of use retained by the Company. Where sale proceeds received reflect the asset's fair value, any gain or loss arising on disposal is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent that it relates to the rights that have been transferred. Gains and losses that relate to the rights that have been retained are included in the carrying amount of the right of use assets recognized at commencement of the lease. Where sale proceeds received are not at the asset's fair value, any below market terms are recognized as a prepayment of lease payments, and above market terms are recognized as additional financing provided by the lessor.
r) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provision for asset retirement obligations is measured at the present value of the best estimate of the cost of restoration at the time of asset retirement.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are disclosed for:
i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group, or
ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

s) Cash and Cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Group's cash management.
t) Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the effective interest rate (EIR) applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs, allocated to qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalisation of such asset or up to the date the assets are ready for its intended use are added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period which they are incurred.
u) Government Grants:
Government grants are initially recognised at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that grant will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant;
- In case of capital grants, they are then recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
- In case of grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised.
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and/or services are rendered only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received. Export benefits and other incentives have been disclosed under the head "Other Operating Revenue".
The Group has received approval under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme of the Government of India for specific product categories. Incentive under the scheme is subject to meeting certain committed investments and defined incremental sales threshold. Such grants are recognised as other operating revenue when there is a reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with all necessary conditions attached to the grant. Income from such grants is recognised on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate.
v) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the period attributable to owners of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the events for bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) (considered in determination of basic earnings per share) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares that would have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.
w) Insurance claims:
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect the ultimate collection.
x) Current vs. Non-current:
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
- Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Consolidated 339
NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
A liability is current when:
- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
y) Operating Segments:
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Chairperson and Managing Director of the Company is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and accordingly is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
1C. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.
In May 2025, MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable w.e.f. 01.04.2025. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
In August 2025, MCA notified the following amendments to:
- Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, applicable w.e.f. 01.04.2025 – The amendment relates to classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants. In the context of classifying a liability as current, it removes the requirement of existence of a right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date and instead requires that the said right should exist on the reporting date and have substance. The amendment also introduces guidance on classification of liabilities with covenants. The Company has no impact of these amendments in its classification criteria of current and non-current liabilities.
- Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, applicable w.e.f. 01.04.2025 – The amendment in Ind AS 7 requires to inform users of financial statements of the existence of supplier finance arrangements and explain the nature of the arrangements, the carrying amount of liabilities and the range of payment due dates. Ind AS 107 has been amended to add supplier finance arrangements as a factor that may cause concentration of liquidity risk. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
- Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately – The amendments provide a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for top-up tax and disclose that they have applied the relief. This relief is immediate and applies retrospectively (Refer note 48).

| e) Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (LPI) a step-down wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is involved in government investigations and litigation arising from the marketing and promotion of its pharmaceutical products in the United States. In January 2017, LPI and one of its employees were issued subpoenas by the Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting documents as part of DOJ's investigation into possible antitrust violations within the generic drug industry. LPI has been cooperating in the ongoing investigation. In April 2018, LPI was named in both class action and individual cases based on allegations of anticompetitive behavior related to certain products. LPI and one of its employees received a non-party subpoena from the state of Connecticut Attorney General (CAG) related to a civil antitrust case they filed in 2016, requesting documents and other information. In May 2019, 43 state attorneys general, led by the CAG, filed a second lawsuit against 19 companies (including Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.) and 15 individuals (including the Lupin employee) with allegations of violations of federal and state antitrust laws. The states claim to have been injured by paying supra-competitive prices for the products they purchased or reimbursed. These civil lawsuits were combined into the collection of similar cases referred to as In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Litigation, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As the case is still in the early stage, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, cannot be made. (Refer note 37(a) and note 56) | ||

(iii) Income from research services and sale of IPs
Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed.

Valuation of stock options
The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:
- Share price: The closing price on NSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted.
- Exercise price: Exercise Price is the market price or face value or such other price as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
- Expected Volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.
- Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.
- Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for four years preceding the date of the grant.
- Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.
These assumptions reflect management's best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company's control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.
The weighted average inputs used in computing the fair value of options granted were as follows:

Valuation of stock options
The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes and Merton option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:
Share price: The fair value of equity shares of Lupin Diagnostics Limited is considered at ₹ 43.1 per share for valuation of ESOP. The fair value of equity shares is derived considering Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method under the income approach of valuation considering the going concern projections for the period FY 2023 to FY 2028.
Exercise Price: The Exercise Price is the price payable by the employee for exercising the ESOP granted in pursuance of the terms of the Plan. As per the ESOP terms provided by Lupin Diagnostics Limited, the exercise price is ₹ 10.0 per share for all the grants.
Expected Volatility: Expected Volatility is calculated on the annualized standard deviation for the historical period corresponding to the expected life of the option.
Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which Lupin Diagnostics Limited expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.
Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been considered as zero.
Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.
These assumptions reflect management's best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of Lupin Diagnostics Limited's control.

The estimates of salary escalation considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
(₹ in million)
| Gratuity | 31.03.2026 | 31.03.2025 | ||
| Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease | |
| Discount Rate (1% movement) | (481.5) | 641.7 | (416.2) | 500.4 |
| Future salary growth (1% movement) | 664.0 | (507.7) | 554.7 | (433.9) |
| Attrition rate (- / + 50% of attrition rates) | (38.5) | 155.9 | (38.5) | 136.0 |
| Mortality rate (10% mortality rates) | 30.1 | 4.2 | - | - |
Risk Exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are defined below:
Interest Rate risk The plan exposes the Group to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.
Investment risk The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
B) The provident fund plan of the Company, except at one plant, is operated by "Lupin Limited Employees Provident Fund Trust" ("Trust"), a separate legal entity. Eligible employees receive benefits from the said Provident Fund. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund Plans equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.
The minimum interest rate payable by the Trust to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The Board of Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the schemes and also defines the investment strategy to act in the best interest of the plan participants.
The Company has an obligation to service the shortfall on account of interest generated by the fund and on maturity of fund investments and hence the same has been classified as Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with Ind AS 19 "Employee Benefits". As per the Guidance Note from the Actuarial Society of India, the Company has obtained the actuarial valuation of interest rate obligation in respect of Provident Fund as at 31.03.2026 and based on the same, there is no shortfall towards interest rate obligation.

Management judgment is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assets is based on estimates of taxable income and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recovered. Any changes in future taxable income would impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets. During the year, the Group has recognized deferred tax asset of ₹ Nil (31.03.2025 ₹ Nil) on unused tax loss. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those recognized deductible differences and tax loss carry forwards.
The current tax in respect of foreign subsidiaries has been computed considering the applicable tax laws and tax rates of the respective countries, as certified by the local tax consultants/local management of the said subsidiaries.

NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
f) In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released the Model Rules under Pillar Two of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("BEPS"), introducing a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for multinational enterprise ("MNE") groups with consolidated revenue of Euro 750 million or more. The Group has evaluated the applicability of the Pillar Two rules for the financial year ended 31.03.2026, including for jurisdictions in which it operates.
In accordance with the amendments to Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes, the Group has applied the mandatory temporary exception in relation to the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from Pillar Two income taxes. Accordingly, the Group has not recognised and disclosed deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
The Group has undertaken a review of its financial and tax data for FY 2025–26 to evaluate potential exposure under the Pillar Two rules. Based on management's computations, the Group expects that Pillar Two top-up tax may arise in Switzerland for the year ended 31.03.2026. The potential top-up tax exposure is estimated to be marginal to the Group's consolidated profit for FY 2025–26. The assessment remains subject to refinement as additional administrative guidance and jurisdiction-specific implementation rules become available.

| United Kingdom | 368.7 | - |
| India | 158.6 | 158.6 |
| Total | 26,585.3 | 22,326.1 |
- During the previous year, as part of annual impairment assessment, the Group has identified that Brazil Cash Generating Unit, on account of reduction in sales, foreign currency fluctuation, change in business model and market dynamics, the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount and hence, recognised the impairment of goodwill ₹ 389.6 million in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
The recoverable amounts of the above CGU's have been assessed using value in use model. Value in use is generally calculated as the net present value of the projected post-tax cash flows plus a terminal value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Initially a post-tax discount rate is applied to calculate the net present value of the post-tax cash flows.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below:
The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
The cash flow projections are based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the value in use of cash generating units is better reflected by projections for 10 years due to the business life cycle and longer term gestation of products. The planning horizon reflects the assumptions for short-to-midterm market developments and have been adjusted for the risks of competition, product life cycle etc.
The terminal growth rates used in extrapolating cash flows beyond the planning horizon ranged from -5% to 5.5% for the year ended 31.03.2026 and 31.03.2025.
Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to a CGU or group of CGUs. The discount rate is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital for respective CGU or group of CGUs. Post-tax discount rate used ranged from 7.0% to 20.2% for the year ended 31.03.2026 and from 7.1% to 21.4% for the year ended 31.03.2025.
The Company believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which a recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGUs.

54. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Following our annual impairment review, we have recognized impairment charges in relation to assets as follows:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | Year ended 31.03.2026 | Year ended 31.03.2025 |
| Property, Plant and Equipment | - | 50.8 |
| Capital work-in-progress | 241.2 | 101.2 |
| Intangible assets commercialised | 857.3 | 527.0 |
| Intangible assets under development | 31.6 | 135.0 |
| Total | 1,130.1 | 814.0 |
Property, Plant and Equipment and Capital work-in-progress:
During the year, based on management review, the Group has assessed the Recoverable value (i.e. higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell) of each individual CGU was compared to carrying value which resulted in an impairment provision of ₹ 241.2 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 152.0 million).
Intangible assets commercialised and Intangible assets under development:
During the year, there were certain intangible assets which failed the recoverability test pursuant to a discounted cash flow evaluation and accordingly an impairment charge of ₹ 857.3 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 268.0 million) was recognised. Further, during the previous year, certain intangibles relate to IPs acquired as part of the acquisition from Anglo French Drugs and Industries Limited, related to India market amounting to ₹ 259.0 million are impaired on account of certain Fixed Dose Combination (FDCs) ban by the Government.
The Group has decided not to further pursue the product development for certain under developed intangibles after factoring the risk and reward associated with the IP and the various alternatives available in the market. The group has accordingly recognised an impairment charge of ₹ 31.6 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 135.0 million).

Assessment of impairment of assets:
The impairment has been determined by considering each individual asset as a cash generating unit (CGU). Recoverable amount of CGUs for which impairment is done is ₹ 332.1 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 318.8 million). Recoverable amount (i.e. higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell) of each individual CGU was compared to carrying value and impairment amount was arrived as follows:
- CGUs where carrying value was higher than recoverable amount were impaired and
- CGUs where recoverable amount was higher than carrying value were carried at carrying value.
The fair value so used is categorized as a Level 3 valuation in line with the fair value hierarchy per requirements of Ind AS 113 "Fair Value Measurement".
The fair value had been determined with reference to the discounted cash flow technique.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts is as mentioned below. The value assigned to the key assumptions represents management's assessment of the future trends in the industry and had been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
| Assumptions | How Determined |
|---|---|
| Projected cash flows | Based on past experience and adjusted for the following: - Current market dynamics - Anticipated competition |
| Long term growth rate | Long term growth rate has been determined with reference to market dynamics of each individual product. |
| Post-tax risk adjusted discounting rate | Projected cash flows were discounted to present value at a discount rate that is commensurate with all risks of ownership and associated risks of realizing the projected residual profits. Each product category (Currently Marketed Products and approved ANDAs, Filed ANDAs, and IP R&D) face different risks and accordingly, different discount rates were determined based on each product category's risk profile. Discount rate was combination of cost of debt and cost of equity. Cost of equity was estimated using capital asset pricing model. |
The projected cashflows are discounted at post-tax rate ranging from 6.1% to 20.2% for the year ended 31.03.2026 and 7.1% to 21.4% for the year ended 31.03.2025. The terminal growth rate is considered ranging from -5% to 5.5% for the year ended 31.03.2026 and 31.03.2025.
The cash flow projections are based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the life of intangibles being approx. 10 years. The management has considered ten year growth rate since the same appropriately reflects the period over which the future benefits of the intangibles will accrue to the Company.
Based on the assessment carried out as at 31.03.2026 and after considering performance for the full year ended 31.03.2026, adequate provision is made. Hence, no further provision is required to be made.
55. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVE
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve represents the net exchange difference on translation of net investment in foreign operations located at Australia, Germany, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, Switzerland, Brazil, USA, Netherlands, France, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Canada from their local currency to the Indian currency. Consequently, in accordance with the Ind AS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", the exchange rate difference on translation of ₹ 4,929.3 million is credited for the year ended 31.03.2026 and ₹ 661.3 million is debited for the year ended 31.03.2025 to Other Comprehensive Income.
56. OTHER PROVISIONS
As per best estimates of the management, provision has been made as under:
The Group has been involved in multiple civil lawsuits alleging anticompetitive behavior related to certain products and violation of federal and state antitrust laws for which a provision for ₹ 5,821.3 million (USD 65.8 million) has been created. These multiple civil lawsuits were then combined into the collection of similar cases referred to as In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Litigation ("Litigation"), located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While the Group denies the allegations but considering that other defendants have recently settled the case and in order to avoid the costs and uncertainties of continued Litigation, Group has entered into a Settlement Agreement in April 2026 with one of the Plaintiffs and agreed to pay ₹ 2,654.1 million (USD 30.0 million) in consideration for a full and final release of all claims against the Group without admitting any wrong doing or violation of law.

Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs:
The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, for financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
| Type | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs | Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Derivative instruments | Forward pricing: The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date and present value calculations based on high credit quality yield curves in the respective currency. Interest rate swap: The fair value is determined using the net present value (NPV) method. | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Investments in unquoted instruments accounted at Fair Value | Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of expected receipt/payment discounted using appropriate discounting rates. | Not applicable | Not applicable |

i. Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.
Trade receivables
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
As at 31.03.2026, the carrying amount of the Group's largest customer (a wholesaler based in North America) was ₹ 22,852.5 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 19,025.6 million).
Summary of the Group's exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is as follows:

| Add: Not past due but impaired | 82.3 | 15.8 |
| Total Expected Credit Loss | 1,335.7 | 706.4 |
Expected Credit Loss assessment
The Group allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Group to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macro economic indicators affecting customers of the Group have not undergone any substantial change, the Group expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue.

As at the year end, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of ₹ 41,677.3 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 15,436.9 million). The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks.
Other Bank Balances
Other bank balances are held with banks.
Derivatives
The derivatives are entered into with banks.
Investment in Mutual Funds, Non-Convertible Debentures and Commercial Papers
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities, Non-Convertible Debentures and Commercial Papers only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Group does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter parties.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets are neither past due nor impaired except as disclosed under "Export Benefits receivables/refund due from Government Authorities" in note 10 and "Others (include miscellaneous receivables)" in note 19.
ii. Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. The Group invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and liquid and liquid plus schemes of mutual funds, non-convertible debentures, commercial papers which carry no/low mark to market risks. The Group monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

iii. Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs. The Group uses derivatives to manage market risk. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations in other countries. The functional currency of the Group is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Consequently, the Group uses both derivative instruments, i.e., foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.
The Group enters into foreign currency forward contracts which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes to establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of certain payables/receivables.
The Group also enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge and manage its foreign currency exposures towards future export earnings. Such derivatives contracts are entered into by the Group for hedging purposes only and are accordingly classified as cash flow hedge.
Following is the derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk:

| Hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions | Forward contract | USD | INR | Nil | Nil | NA |
The Group has not entered foreign currency forward contract for purposes other than hedging.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates, if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing borrowings is as follows:
(€ in million)

| Total Borrowings | 59,102.0 | 50,766.5 |
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

NOTES
Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.
Commodity rate risk
The Group's operating activities involve purchase and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), whose prices are exposed to the risk of fluctuation over short periods of time. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through procurement and other related operating policies. As of 31.03.2026 and 31.03.2025, the Group had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
58. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:
The Group's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Group monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments.
The Group's policy is to keep the ratio below 1.5. The Group's adjusted net debt to equity ratio was as follows:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | As at 31.03.2026 | As at 31.03.2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Total borrowings | 59,102.0 | 50,766.5 |

| Adjusted net debt to equity ratio (in times) | (0.21) | (0.02) |
- includes earmarked bank deposits against guarantees & other commitments of ₹ 13,640.0 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 11,999.2 million) classified under the head "Other Non-current Financial Assets".
59. HEDGE ACCOUNTING:
The Group's risk management policy is to hedge above 15% of its estimated net foreign currency exposure in respect of highly probable forecast sales over the following 12-24 months at any point in time. The Group uses Forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. Such contracts are generally designated as fair value hedge.
The forward exchange contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. These contracts have a maturity of 12-24 months from the reporting date. The Group's policy is for the critical terms of the forward exchange contracts to align with the hedged item.
During the previous year, the subsidiary company located in USA entered into an Interest rate swap agreement to pay fixed interest rate of 5.22% p.a and receive variable interest rate SOFR + 1.2% p.a, to manage the interest rate risk associated with the Borrowings. The swap matures concurrently with the Borrowings on its contractual maturity and has been designated as Cash Flow Hedge under Ind AS 109. The terms of the swap (notional amount, payment dates, maturity and index) match those of the hedged debt, hence the Group applies the hedge accounting and assumes perfect effectiveness. The hedge is expected to remain effective over its term.

The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Group assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.
In these hedge relationships, changes in timing of the hedged transactions is the main source of hedge ineffectiveness.

Independent Auditor's Report
TO THE MEMBERS OF LUPIN LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the standalone financial statements of Lupin Limited (the "Company") which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2026, and its profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition:
Refer note 1B (I) of material accounting policies and note 28 and 39 to standalone financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| Revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products is recognized when control over goods is transferred to a customer. The actual point in time when revenue is recognized varies depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contracts entered with customers. The Company has many customers operating in various geographies and sales contracts with customers have distinct terms relating to the recognition of revenue, the right of return and price adjustments. We identified the recognition of revenue from sale of products as a key audit matter considering: Revenue is a key performance indicator for the Company. Accordingly, there could be pressure to meet the expectations of investors/other stakeholders and/or to meet revenue targets stipulated in performance incentive schemes for a reporting period. We have considered that there is a risk of fraud related to revenue being overstated by recognition in the wrong period or before control has passed at period end. Assessment of accrual towards discounts, right to return, and other price adjustments is complex and requires significant judgments and estimates in relation to contractual agreements/commercial terms across various geographies. Any change in these estimates can have a significant financial impact. | To obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures, amongst others, include the following: • Compared the accounting policies in respect of revenue recognition, judgments in estimation and accounting treatment of various schemes of discount, right to return and other price adjustments with applicable accounting standards to test for compliance. • Tested design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the Company's internal controls including general IT controls and key IT application controls over recognition of revenue and measurement of various discount schemes, right to return and other price adjustments. • For a sample of year-end sales, we verified contractual terms of sales invoices/contracts, shipping documents and acknowledged delivery receipts for those transactions including management assessment and quantification of any sales reversal for undelivered goods. • Obtained management workings for amounts recognised towards various discount schemes, right to return and other price adjustments as at year end. On a sample basis, tested the underlying calculations for amounts recorded as accruals and provisions towards the aforementioned obligations, as per the terms of related schemes, contracts and regulations and traced the underlying data to source documents. • Evaluated historical accuracy of the Company's estimates of year-end accruals pertaining to aforesaid arrangements made in the previous years to identify any management bias. • Tested any unusual non-standard journal entries that impacted revenue recognized during the year end. • Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of disclosures given in the standalone financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards. |

Assessment of Impairment of Investment in Subsidiaries
Refer note 1B(h) of material accounting policies and note 7(a) to standalone financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The Company has investments of Rs. 1,21,370.9 million in subsidiaries as at 31 March 2026. The said investments are being carried at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27, separate financial statements. The Company assess the recoverable amounts of each investment when impairment indicators exist by comparing the fair value (Less cost of disposal) and carrying amount of that investment as on the reporting date. The Company carries out impairment assessment for each investment by: - Comparing the carrying value of each investment with the net worth of each company based on latest financial statements. - Comparing the performance of the investee companies with projections used for valuations and approved business plans. - Evaluate variables considered in valuation model such as future revenue, margins and - operating expenditure, appropriate discount rate, identification of comparable transaction, etc. and compute recoverable amount or value in use. Considering the materiality and the inherent subjectivity which involves significant management judgment in predicting future cash flow projections, recoverability of investments in subsidiaries has been a key audit matter for the current period audit. | To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures, amongst others, included the following: • Evaluated management's assessment of triggers for impairments and assessed the appropriateness of valuation models used by the management for impairment testing. • Tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over impairment assessment including approval of forecasts and valuation models used. • Evaluated key assumptions in the Company's valuation models used to determine recoverable amount including assumptions of projected earnings before interest, growth rate and discount rate by involving auditor's valuation expert. We also evaluated the forecasts based on historical performance wherever relevant. • Performed sensitivity analysis of key assumptions and evaluated past performances where relevant to assess accuracy of the forecasts made. • Assessed and validated the appropriateness of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements. |
Other Information
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor's report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Company's annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Management's and Board of Directors Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Standalone
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor's Report on the Standalone Financial Statements of Lupin Limited for the year ended 31 March 2026
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Lupin Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2026 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2026, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

b) Property, Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:
I. Recognition and Measurement:
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
- its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
- any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
- the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Company incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
- income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure/item will flow to the company, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
II. Subsequent Expenditure
The subsequent cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure/item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
III. Depreciation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value, if any.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment of the Company has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act, except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on independent technical evaluation and management's assessment thereof, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
| Particulars | Estimated Useful Life | Useful Life as per sch II |
|---|---|---|
| Building | 5 to 80 years | 3 to 80 years |
| Improvements on Leased Premises | Over the period of lease | Over the period of lease |
| Plant and Equipment | 10 to 15 years | 8 to 15 years |
| Office Equipment (Desktop and Laptop) | 4 years | 3 years |
| Furniture & Fixtures | 5 to 10 years | 8 to 10 years |
Assets acquired on lease are depreciated based on straight line method over their respective lease periods. Depreciation method, useful live and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).
IV. Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
c) Intangible assets:
I. Recognition and Measurement:
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.
Expenditure on research and development eligible for capitalization, if any are carried as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.

II. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
III. Derecognition
Intangible assets are de-recognised either on their disposal or where no future economic benefits are expected from their use. Losses arising on such derecognition are recorded in the profit or loss, and are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of respective intangible assets as on the date of derecognition.
IV. Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on Straight Line Method as follows:
| Particulars | Estimated Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Computer Software | 5 to 6 years |
| Product Related Intangibles: | |
| - Trademark and Licenses | 4 to 5 years |
| - Dossiers/Marketing Rights | 10 years |
| - Knowhow | 5 years |
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets and the amortisation period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern, if any.
d) Non-current assets held for sale:
Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and the assets of disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.
e) Research and Development:
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the respective heads in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred.
Development costs of products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless following conditions are satisfied in which case such expenditure is capitalized:
-
the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it can be made available for use or sale
-
the Company has the intention to complete the asset and use or sell it;
- the Company has the ability to use or sell the asset
- future economic benefits are probable
- the Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development reliably.
The amount capitalised comprises of expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis for creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, Plant and Equipment utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, Plant and Equipment.
Expenditure on in-licensed development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised, if the cost can be reliably measured. The product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Company has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use and sell the asset.
Payments to third parties that generally take the form of up-front payments and milestones for in-licensed products, compounds and intellectual property are capitalised since the probability of expected future economic benefits criterion is always considered to be satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets.
f) Impairment of non-financial assets:
The carrying values of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment exists.
If the carrying amount of the Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognised for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the cash-generating unit for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the amount was previously charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets, such reversal is not recognised.

Goodwill impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the Company. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the Company using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involves, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses.
g) Foreign Currency Transactions/Translations:
i) Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded at exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate of the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
iii) Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at reporting date at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous Standalone Financial Statements are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
h) Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
I. Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets (excluding trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets (other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added to the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at the transaction price.
Purchases or sales of financial assets including mutual fund that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Classification and subsequent measurement
The Company classifies a financial asset in accordance with the below criteria:
- the Company's business model for managing financial assets; and
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Based on the above criteria, the Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories:
i) Debt instruments at amortised cost.
ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
iii) Derivatives and Equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
Financial assets at amortised cost
A 'financial asset' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
ii) Contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in "Finance Income" in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income. However, the Company recognises interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED

NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
exchange gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as Interest Income using the EIR method.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as FVTPL.
Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Investments
Investment in Subsidiaries are out of scope of Ind AS 109 and hence, the Company has accounted for its investment in Subsidiaries at cost.
Assessment of Impairment of Investments in Subsidiaries:
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments in subsidiaries annually, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for. Determining whether the investments in subsidiaries are impaired requires an estimate in the value in use of investments. The Management carries out impairment assessment for each investment by comparing the carrying value of each investment with the net worth of each company based on audited financials, comparable market price and comparing the performance of the investee companies with projections used for valuations, in particular those relating to the cash flows, sales growth rate, pre-tax discount rate and growth rates used and approved business plans.
All equity investments apart from as mentioned above are in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's financial statements) when:
- the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either:
i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
i) Trade receivables;
ii) Financial assets measured at amortised cost (other than trade receivables).
In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Financial assets classified as amortised cost (listed as (ii) above), subsequent to initial recognition, are assessed for evidence of impairment at end of each reporting period basis monitoring of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding looking information.
If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Standalone
NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance.
Subsequently, if the credit quality of the financial asset improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL allowance recognised (or reversed) during the period is recognised as expense (or income) in the Statement of Profit and Loss under the head 'Other expenses'.
Write - off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
II. Financial Liabilities
Classification
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities measured at FVTPL. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortised cost (loans, borrowings and payables) or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss;
ii) Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings).
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated
upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separate embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as "Finance Costs" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. If not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amount of income recognised.
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED
^{}[] Integrated Report 2025-2026
NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Embedded derivatives
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope Ind AS 109, the Company does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hedge accounting
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Company designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income ('OCI') and accumulated in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is immediately transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
III. Fair Value Measurement:
The Company measures financial instruments, such as investments (other than equity investments in Subsidiaries) and derivatives at fair values at each Balance Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
(a) Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments quoted in active markets is based on their quoted closing price at the balance sheet date.
(b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques using observable market data. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flows,
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Standalone
NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
standard valuation models based on market parameters for interest rates, yield curves or foreign exchange rates, dealer quotes for similar instruments and use of comparable arm's length transactions.
(c) Level 3: The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
i) Business combinations:
i) The Company accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgment is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
ii) Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive.
iii) The Company measures goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities in case such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably). When the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in the OCI and accumulates the same in equity as Capital Reserve where there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase else the gain is directly recognised in equity as Capital Reserve, without routing the same through OCI.
iv) Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Company to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Company. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Consideration
transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships.
v) Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
vi) Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination, such as finder's fees, legal fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
vii) On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.
viii) Any goodwill that arises on account of such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
j) Income tax:
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company:
i) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and
ii) Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced
^{}[] LUPIN LIMITED | Integrated Report 2025-2026
NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax is not recognized for the temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of transaction.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
The Company recognises deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
i) When the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
ii) it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:
i) The Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognised unless the management based upon its interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter concludes that such benefits will be accepted by the authorities. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts.
k) Inventories:
Inventories of all procured materials, Stock-in-Trade, finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at the
lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Cost of raw material, packing materials and Stock-in-Trade includes all charges in bringing the goods to their present location and condition, including non-creditable taxes and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. However, raw materials and packing materials are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, cost of conversion, non-creditable duties and taxes as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
Cost of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct labour. They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
l) Revenue Recognition:
Sale of Goods
Revenue from sales of products is recognised at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery, which the Company has determined is when physical possession, legal title and risks and rewards of ownership of the products transfer to the customer and the Company is entitled to payment. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreements. The majority of the Company's contracts related to product sales include only one performance obligation, which is to deliver products to customers based on purchase orders received.
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the transaction price which is consideration received or receivable, net of returns, Goods and Service Tax (GST) and applicable trade discounts, allowances and chargeback. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs billed to the customer.
In arriving at the transaction price, the Company considers the terms of the contract with the customers and its customary business practices. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Any amount of variable consideration is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The Company estimates

NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method.
Profit share revenues
The Company from time to time enters into marketing arrangements with certain business partners for the sale of its products in certain markets. Under such arrangements, the Company sells its products to the business partners at a non-refundable base purchase price agreed upon in the arrangement and is also entitled to a profit share which is over and above the base purchase price. The profit share is typically dependent on the business partner's ultimate net sale proceeds or net profits, subject to any reductions or adjustments that are required by the terms of the arrangement. Such arrangements typically require the business partner to provide confirmation of units sold and net sales or net profit computations for the products covered under the arrangement.
Revenue in an amount equal to the base sale price is recognised in these transactions upon delivery of products to the business partners. An additional amount representing the profit share component is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Out licensing arrangements, milestone payments and royalties
Revenues include amounts derived from product out-licensing agreements. These arrangements typically consist of an initial up-front payment received on inception of the license and subsequent payments dependent on achieving certain milestones in accordance with the terms prescribed in the agreement. Non-refundable up-front license fees received in connection with product out-licensing agreements are deferred and recognised over the period in which the Company has continuing performance obligations. Milestone payments which are contingent on achieving certain clinical milestones are recognised as revenues on achievement of such milestones, over the performance period depending on the terms of the contract. If milestone payments are creditable against future royalty payments, the milestones are deferred and released over the period in which the royalties are anticipated to be paid.
Refund Liability
The Company accounts for refund liabilities (sales returns) accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Company's estimate of expected sales returns. The Company considers its historical experience of sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Company's business and markets. As required under Ind AS 115, the Company has presented its right to return assets under Other Current Asset and refund liabilities under Other Current Liabilities in the financial statements.
Income from research services
Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed, or when risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, as applicable.
Revenue, where performance obligation is transferred over the period of time, is recognized using appropriate measure of progress.
Services Income
Service income mainly comprises of diagnostic services. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognised at a point in time when the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers. Generally, each test represents a separate performance obligation for which revenue is recognised when the test report is generated i.e. when the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company has assessed that it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation to collection centers/channel partners. Accordingly, the revenue has been recognised based on the services rendered to collection centers/channel partners.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (referred to as "unbilled revenue") while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (referred to as "unearned revenue").
Income from Export Benefits and Other Incentives
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and/or services are rendered only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.
Contract balances
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration

NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
m) Other Income:
Interest income
Interest income is recognised with reference to the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income
Dividend from investment is recognised as revenue when right to receive is established.
n) Employee Benefits:
Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided and the Company will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the reporting date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid.
Defined benefit plans
The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed periodically by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised
immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (asset) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is measured on the basis of a periodical independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Other Benefit Plans
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The company recognizes expected cost of short-term employee benefit as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
o) Share-based payment transactions:
Employees Stock Options Plans ("ESOPs"): The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The expense is recorded for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The increase in equity recognized in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in Other Equity under "Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve". The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.
Cash-settled Transactions: The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant

date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense. The approach used to account for vesting conditions when measuring equity-settled transactions also applies to cash-settled transactions.
p) Leases:
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.
Company as a lessee
The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.
i) Right-of-Use Assets
The Company recognizes right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii) Lease Liabilities
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate (IBR). The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company 'would have to pay', which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii) Short-term lease and leases of low value assets
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
iv) Sale and Leaseback:
The right of use arising from leaseback is measured at the proportion of previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to right of use retained by the Company. Where sale proceeds received reflect the asset's fair value, any gain or loss arising on disposal is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent that it relates to the rights that have been transferred. Gains and losses that relate to the rights that have been retained are included in the carrying amount of the right of use assets recognized at commencement of the lease. Where sale proceeds

received are not at the asset's fair value, any below market terms are recognized as a prepayment of lease payments, and above market terms are recognized as additional financing provided by the lessor.
q) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are disclosed for:
i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or
ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
r) Cash and Cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, cash at bank and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.
s) Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the effective interest rate (EIR) applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs, allocated to qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalisation of such asset or upto the date the assets are ready for its intended use are added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period which they are incurred.
t) Government Grants:
Government grants are initially recognised at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant;
- In case of capital grants, they are then recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
- In case of grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised.
Export benefits and other incentives available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and / or services are rendered only when there reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.
The Company has received approval under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme of the Government of India for specific product categories. Incentive under the scheme is subject to meeting certain committed investments and defined incremental sales threshold. Such grants are recognised as other operating revenue when there is a reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with all necessary conditions attached to the grant. Income from such grants is recognised on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate.
u) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the events for bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average
^{}[] Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements Standalone
NOTES

number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.
v) Insurance claims:
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect the ultimate collection.
w) Current vs Non Current:
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
1C. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.
In May 2025, MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, applicable w.e.f. 01.04.2025. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

The amendment also introduces guidance on classification of liabilities with covenants. The Company has no impact of these amendments in its classification criteria of current and non-current liabilities.
- Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, applicable w.e.f. 01.04.2025 – The amendment in Ind AS 7 requires to inform users of financial statements of the existence of supplier finance arrangements and explain the nature of the arrangements, the carrying amount of liabilities and the range of payment due dates. Ind AS 107 has been amended to add supplier finance arrangements as a factor that may cause concentration of liquidity risk. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
- Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately – The amendments provide a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for top-up tax and disclose that they have applied the relief. This relief is immediate and applies retrospectively (Refer note 45).

Valuation of stock options
The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:
- Share price: The closing price on NSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted.
- Exercise Price: Exercise Price is the market price or face value or such other price as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
- Expected Volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.
- Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.
- Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for four years preceding the date of the grant.
Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.
These assumptions reflect management's best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company's control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.
The weighted average inputs used in computing the fair value of options granted were as follows:

NOTES
Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements
During the year ended 31.03.2026, the Central Government of India has notified the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes', effective from 21.11.2025 primarily impacting the wage definition to be considered for the purpose of defined benefit obligation relating to gratuity.
XI) Expected future benefit payments
(₹ in million)
| Particular | As at 31.03.2026 | As at 31.03.2025 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 758.1 | 848.8 |
| 2 to 5 years | 1,905.2 | 1,738.4 |
| 6 to 10 years | 2,587.4 | 2,130.1 |
| More than 10 years | 6,986.3 | 6,105.7 |
The estimates of salary escalation considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions holding other assumptions constant would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | 31.03.2026 | 31.03.2025 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease | |
| Discount Rate (1% movement) | (465.2) | 536.1 | (415.5) | 479.8 |
| Future salary growth (1% movement) | 531.7 | (469.7) | 474.9 | (418.8) |
| Attrition rate (- / + 50% of attrition rates) | (86.8) | 102.8 | (88.1) | 107.1 |
Risk Exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are defined below:
Interest Rate risk The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.
Investment risk The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
B) The provident fund plan of the Company, except at one plant, is operated by "Lupin Limited Employees Provident Fund Trust" ("Trust"), a separate legal entity. Eligible employees receive benefits from the said Provident Fund. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund Plans equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.
The minimum interest rate payable by the Trust to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The Board of Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the schemes and also defines the investment strategy to act in the best interest of the plan participants.
The Company has an obligation to service the shortfall on account of interest generated by the fund and on maturity of fund investments and hence the same has been classified as Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with Ind AS 19 "Employee Benefits". As per the Guidance Note from the Actuarial Society of India, the Company has obtained the actuarial valuation of interest rate obligation in respect of Provident Fund as at 31.03.2026 and based on the same, there is no shortfall towards interest rate obligation.
Based on the actuarial valuation obtained, the following is the details of fund and plan assets.

48. IMPAIRMENT
a. Diminution in value of investment in Subsidiaries
The Company considers its investments in subsidiaries (including step down subsidiaries) as strategic and long-term in nature and accordingly, in view of the management, any decline in the value of such long-term investments in subsidiaries is temporary in nature, except as under:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | Year ended 31.03.2026 | Year ended 31.03.2025 | |

| Recoverable value | 1,386.4 | 1,586.4 | 769.3 |
| Impairment (Diminution in value) | 700.0 | 413.6 | 358.6 |
During the year the Company determined that the carrying value of investment in the above subsidiaries is higher than the recoverable amount. Accordingly, the Company has provided for diminution in value of investment of ₹ 700.0 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 772.2 million).
b. Impairment of Assets
Following our annual impairment review, we have recognized impairment charges in relation to assets as follows:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | Year ended 31.03.2026 | Year ended 31.03.2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Property, Plant and Equipment | - | 50.7 |
| Capital Work in Progress | 50.9 | 101.1 |
| Intangible assets commercialised | - | 259.0 |
| Intangible assets under development | 10.4 | - |
| Total | 61.3 | 410.8 |
Property, Plant and Equipment and Capital Work in Progress:
During the year, based on management review, the company has assessed the Recoverable amount (i.e. higher of value in use and fair value less cost of disposal) of each individual CGU and compared it to carrying value of respective CGU, which resulted in an impairment provision of ₹ 50.9 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 151.8 million).
Intangible assets commercialised:
During the previous year ₹ 259.0 million the Company has provided for impairment of intangibles related to IPs acquired as part of the acquisition from Anglo French Drugs and Industries Limited (AFDIL), related to India market. The impairment was primarily carried out on account of (i) Certain Fixed Dose Combination (FDCs) ban by government and (ii) lower offtake of few brands in generics market, coupled with low margins.
Intangible assets under development:
During the year, the Company decided not to further pursue the development of an IP factoring the risk and reward associated with it and availability of various alternatives in the market. Accordingly, an impairment provision of ₹ 10.4 million was created.

Assessment of impairment of asset:
The impairment has been determined by considering each individual asset as a cash generating unit (CGU). Recoverable amount of CGUs for which impairment is done is Nil (31.03.2025 Nil). Recoverable amount (i.e. higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell) of each individual CGU was compared to carrying value and impairment amount was arrived as follows:
- CGUs where carrying value was higher than recoverable amount were impaired and
- CGUs where recoverable amount was higher than carrying value were carried at carrying value
The fair value so used is categorized as a level 3 valuation in line with the fair value hierarchy per requirements of Ind AS 113 "Fair Value Measurement".
The fair value has been determined with reference to the discounted cash flow technique.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts is as mentioned below. The value assigned to the key assumptions represents management's assessment of the future trends in the industry and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
| Assumption | How determined |
|---|---|
| Projected cash flows | Based on past experience and adjusted for the following: - Current market dynamics - Anticipated competition |
| Long term growth rate | Long term growth rate has been determined with reference to market dynamics of each individual product |
| Post-tax risk adjusted discounting rate | Projected cash flows were discounted to present value at a discount rate that is commensurate with all risks of ownership and associated risks of realizing the projected residual profits. Each product category (Currently Marketed Products and approved ANDAs, Filed ANDAs, and IP R&D) face different risks and accordingly different discount rates were determined based on each product category's risk profile. Discount rate was combination of cost of debt and cost of equity. Cost of equity was estimated using capital asset pricing model. |
The projected cashflows are discounted at post-tax rate ranging from 6.1% to 20.2% for the year ended 31.03.2026 and 7.1% to 21.4% for the year ended 31.03.2025. The terminal growth rate is considered ranging from -5% to 5.5% for the year ended 31.03.2026 and 31.03.2025.
The cash flow projections are based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the life of intangibles being approx. 10 years. The management has considered ten year growth rate since the same appropriately reflects the period over which the future benefits of the intangibles will accrue to the Company.
Based on the assessment carried out as at 31.03.2026 and after considering performance for the full year ended 31.03.2026, adequate provision is made. Hence, no further provision is required to be made.

Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management:
A. Accounting classification and fair values:
Carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy, are presented below. It does not include the fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair value. The cost of unquoted investments approximates the fair value because there is wide range of possible fair value measurements and the costs represents estimate of fair value within that range.

C. Financial risk management:
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- Credit risk;
- Liquidity risk; and
- Market risk
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The board of directors has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The committee reports to the board of directors on its activities.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training, standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
i. Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.
Trade receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
As at 31.03.2026, the carrying amount of the Company's largest customer (a wholly owned subsidiary in the USA) was ₹ 43,952.6 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 33,244.5 million).
Summary of the Company's exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is as follows:

Expected credit loss assessment
The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macroeconomic indicators affecting customers of the Company have not undergone any substantial change, the Company expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | As at 31.03.2026 | As at 31.03.2025 |

| Exchange differences | 1.7 | (3.8) |
| Balance as at the year end | 591.5 | 279.8 |
Cash and cash equivalents
As at the year end, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of ₹ 1,116.3 million (31.03.2025 ₹ 3,418.0 million). The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks.
Other Bank Balances
Other bank balances are held with banks.
Investment in mutual funds, Non-Convertible debentures and Commercial papers
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities, Non-Convertible debentures and Commercial papers only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets are neither past due nor impaired except as disclosed under "Export Benefits receivables/Refund due from Government Authorities" in note 9 and "Others (includes miscellaneous receivables)" in note 17.
ii. Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and liquid and liquid plus schemes of mutual funds, non-convertible debentures, commercial papers which carry no/low mark to market risks. The Company monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

- Guarantees issued by the Company on behalf of subsidiaries are with respect to borrowings raised by the respective subsidiary. These amounts will be payable on default by the concerned subsidiary. As of the reporting date none of the subsidiary have defaulted and hence the Company does not have any present obligation to third parties in relation to such guarantees [Refer note 67].
iii. Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, the Company exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risk. Generally, the Company seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations in other countries. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Consequently, the Company uses both derivative instruments, i.e., foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against foreign currency at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates, if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Company's interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing borrowings is as follows:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | As at 31.03.2026 | As at 31.03.2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Current Borrowings | ||
| Variable rate borrowings | - | - |
| Total |
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments
The Company does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.
Commodity rate risk
The Company's operating activities involve purchase and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), whose prices are exposed to the risk of fluctuation over short periods of time. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through procurement and other related operating policies. As of 31.03.2026 and 31.03.2025 the Company had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
55. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'total equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments.
The Company's policy is to keep the ratio below 1.5. The Company's adjusted net debt to total equity ratio was as follows:
(₹ in million)
| Particulars | As at 31.03.2026 | As at 31.03.2025 |
| Total borrowings | 5,768.8 | - |
| Less: Cash and cash equivalent | 1,116.3 | 3,418.0 |
| Less: Other Bank Balances | 164.4 | 1,167.8 |
| Less: Current Investments | 34,247.7 | 10,035.6 |
| Adjusted net debt | (29,759.6) | (14,621.4) |
| Total equity | 301,337.7 | 242,782.4 |
| Adjusted net debt to total equity ratio | (0.1) | (0.1) |
56. HEDGE ACCOUNTING:
The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. Such contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges.
The forward exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. These contracts have a maturity of 12-24 months from the reporting date. The Company's policy is for the critical terms of the forward exchange contracts to align with the hedged item.
The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Company assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.
In these hedge relationships, changes in timing of the hedged transactions is the main source of hedge ineffectiveness.
