Additionally, we expect improved business prospects for Syngene, supported by a resurgent biotech funding environment in the U.S. Siddharth Mittal, CEO & managing director, Biocon, said, 'The Generics business continued to encounter pricing pressure and demand contraction, which impacted our first quarter's performance of both APIs and Generic Formulations. The business made progress on its Most of the World (MoW) expansion strategy with the signing of a partnership agreement with Handok in South Korea for the commercialization of Liraglutide. We also obtained our first injectable approval in the U.S. for Micafungin and secured some key customer contracts in the region. Looking ahead, our focus will be directed towards commercializing products for which we have received approvals, including Liraglutide, in the second half of this fiscal, as indicated previously.

Shreehas Tambe, CEO & managing director, Biocon Biologics, said, 'We began the fiscal year on a strong note with the business delivering year-on-year growth of 11% on a like-for-like basis. This growth was underpinned by an increase in market shares, tender wins in Europe and Emerging Markets and 15 new product launches.' Jonathan Hunt, CEO & managing director, Syngene International, said, ''First quarter performance was broadly flat, in line with our expectations, reflecting the dip in funding for U.S. biotechs that has impacted our sector over the last two years. However, the value of U.S. biotech funding has seen a marked improvement in the first half of 2024. It will take a while for this funding to flow through into outsourcing activities and Syngene is in a strong position to capture a significant share of the upturn in biotech spending in the months ahead.'
