Management Commentary by Mr. Sunil Mundra, Executive Director
Q4 FY26 Performance:
- Q4 was a strong operational quarter. The company successfully dispatched goods that had been deferred in the prior quarter due to a shutdown at the Puducherry plant.
- These deferred dispatches were the primary driver of growth in both topline and profitability during Q4.
- The impact on the standalone capsules business was approximately ₹6 crore. These sales came at higher profitability as associated costs were absorbed in the previous quarter.
Capsules Business Update:
- The incremental HPMC line for double-zero capsules is now ready.
- Revenue from this new line is expected to begin in the second half of the current financial year (FY27), subject to client approval in the US markets.
- FY27 is expected to be a stable year for the capsules business, with a focus on optimal capacity utilization and improving operational efficiency.
API Business Update:
- Commercial sales for APIs commenced in Q4 FY26.
- The focus is on gradually growing these volumes throughout the year.
- The current API business carries a lower margin profile. The company is awaiting necessary clearances from regulatory authorities and customers to serve more profitable customers and geographies.
Subsidiary Update - Natural Biogenex Private Limited:
- The subsidiary executed definitive Framework and Contract Manufacturing Agreements with Fermbox Bio Private Limited.
- Under the collaboration, Fermbox Bio will provide advanced fermentation technology and equipment at Natural Capsules' Tumkur facility.

Forward-Looking Strategy:
- FY27 focus will be on scaling up operations in the API business while driving higher profitability in the capsules business.
- The company enters FY27 with improved operational visibility and confidence in restoring growth and profitability.
