Objective of the Issue:
- Funding capital expenditure requirements for civil construction work and towards purchase of equipment, plant and machinery for setting up new manufacturing line of SteriPort at Hariyala, Kheda, Gujarat (70 Crores)
- Funding capital expenditure requirements towards civil construction work, purchase of equipment, plant and machinery for setting up new manufacturing line for SVP at Hariyala, Kheda, Gujarat (30 Crores)
- General corporate purposes
Risks:
- High debt-to-equity ratio and finance costs: The Company’s debt levels have risen over the past three years, with finance costs still forming 45% of EBITDA in FY25 despite improvement from FY23. Repayment using PAT remains uncertain given stable revenue and profit trends. Elevated debt and interest expenses pose a significant financial risk.
- Single manufacturing facility and labor-intensive operations: All production is concentrated in one facility at Hariyala, Gujarat, making the company highly vulnerable to operational disruptions. Any labor disputes, workforce unionization, or regional challenges could severely affect output. Heavy reliance on a single, labor-intensive site heightens operational risks and reduces resilience against unforeseen external shocks.
- Litigation on product quality: The Company faces an ongoing legal case regarding a batch of sterile water for injection allegedly failing sterility standards. Regulators directed distributors to halt sales, and the matter remains unresolved. An unfavorable court ruling could damage reputation, disrupt supply, and lead to financial liabilities or regulatory scrutiny.
- Regulatory and policy risks: The pharmaceutical and medical devices sector is subject to strict government oversight and frequent regulatory changes, including pricing controls. Any unfavorable shifts in policies, drug pricing norms, or compliance requirements could negatively impact margins, restrict product offerings, and significantly affect revenue and long-term business sustainability.
Strengths:
- Well-established manufacturer with diverse portfolio: Amanta Healthcare manufactures a wide range of pharmaceutical formulations across six therapeutic areas, supported by advanced closure systems and container sizes from 2 ml to 1000 ml. With 47 products registered in 120 jurisdictions, the company maintains a strong domestic presence and global footprint, ensuring product relevance across markets.
- Large manufacturing capabilities: The Company operates a state-of-the-art facility spread over 66,852 sq. meters in Gujarat, equipped with advanced ABFS and ISBM technologies. It has four LVP and three SVP production lines, enabling scalable manufacturing of sterile liquid formulations with strict quality compliance. This robust infrastructure strengthens its competitive edge in regulated markets.
- Wide domestic and international network: Amanta leverages a strong distribution network of over 320 stockists and 96 sales professionals across India, supported by digital platforms like Pharma Cloud and sales automation tools. Internationally, its marketing footprint spans multiple geographies, ensuring efficient demand planning, sales forecasting, and optimized reach to hospitals, nursing homes, and global healthcare providers.
- Experienced management and skilled workforce: The company benefits from the leadership of Bhavesh Patel, Promoter and Managing Director, who brings nearly 30 years of industry experience. His vision is supported by a team of over 500 employees across manufacturing, sales, and quality control. This blend of expertise and skilled manpower drives consistent operational excellence.
