Strategic milestones and investments

During FY26, the company commenced development of a premium nitrile (NBR) female condom, advanced its Palava manufacturing facility with integrated dual-polymer technology, and received CE (EU IVDR) certifications for HIV 1&2, Hepatitis B, Syphilis, and Pregnancy test kits. A total commitment of ₹331.53 crore has been made to Baazar Style Retail Limited, of which ₹82.88 crore was deployed in April 2026 and ₹36.93 crore in May 2026. The company also secured a long-term supply contract with Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PFSCM) and received the Maharashtra State Export Award 2025.

Upon full commissioning, the Palava facility will target annual production capacity of approximately 1.25 billion male condoms and 125 million female condoms. The company has enhanced its FY27 guidance to ₹725 crore–₹750 crore in revenue and ₹210 crore–₹225 crore in net profit, with a medium-term aspiration of ₹1,500 crore in revenue by FY29.
