"For the past year, the company had indicated its desire to divest or cease the proprietary products business, though, the quantum received through the divestitures (~$170 mn) is significantly shy of the US$650-700 mn spent on developing the products from FY2013-19. Given our long-standing concerns over the scalability of DRRD's proprietary products strategy and questionable product selection track record, we believe the divestitures are a correct step,"

The above lines in the report reveal what morons have been doing all these years: questionable product selection, developing products that couldn't recoup even a third of invested dollars, and finally the incompetence of Indian management who allowed a bunch of money-raiders and kool-aid drinkers to keep siphoning off money in return of selling dreams, and once they were gone, close down entire business. Now, q is, what DRL is banking on for the future growth: biosimilars..again a generic play. From what Mr. Israeli says, its obvious, specialty business of DRL is CLOSED!

"Maybe there was a perception in the past that we are becoming from a generic company to a specialty company. This is not the case. We are generic company and will stay generic company in that respect. May be here and there we will have a nice asset in specialty that can serve us well. In that respect, the main effort will be, if at all, complementary moves in the generic area," Israeli clarified.
