Earlier this April, Piramal Pharma projected growth for the financial year 2026-27 (FY27) following a transitional 2025-26 (FY26), with momentum driven by rising demand in its contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) segment and new product launches, Chairperson Nandini Piramal stated.

She remarked that FY26 was affected by external factors such as macroeconomic volatility and product destocking.

Piramal noted an improved outlook with stronger demand signals. “We expect biopharma funding to have increased, leading to a rise in RFPs and order inflows,” she mentioned, adding that the company is finishing FY26 with enhanced momentum.

She projected growth for the upcoming year, stating, “We are guiding for growth in the early to mid-teens… and EBITDA may outpace revenue growth,” she indicated.
