How will the commercial ramp-up of Pivya through Alembic Therapeutics impact the US Branded Business revenue contribution as a percentage of total sales by FY28, and what additional branded product launches are being planned for the US market?

Given the write-down and classification of the Sikkim manufacturing facility as held for sale, what is the company's strategy for redeploying that capital, and could this signal a broader consolidation of its 10 manufacturing facilities?

With R&D spend rising 37% year-on-year to INR 7.1 Bn in FY26—largely driven by one-off peptide development—how sustainable is the 9% R&D-to-revenue target for FY27, and which therapeutic areas or complex generics are expected to drive the next wave of ANDA filings?
