About Valiant Laboratories Limited


Formed in 1980 as a partnership firm before eventually becoming a public limited company in 2021, Valiant Laboratories Limited is an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) / Bulk Drug manufacturing company with having focus on the manufacturing of Paracetamol.

Bulk drugs/Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) serve as raw materials for manufacturing finished dosage forms or formulations. Paracetamol is one of the most commonly taken analgesics worldwide and is recommended as the first-line therapy in pain conditions by the World Health Organization (WHO). Paracetamol has several applications such as usage in the treatment of headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, backaches, toothaches, colds, and fever. We manufacture Paracetamol in various grades such as IP/BP/EP/USP, as per the pharmacopeia requirements of the customers.

Their manufacturing facility is at Boisar, Palghar in the state of Maharashtra, India which is spread over about 2,000 sq. mts. with an aggregate annual total installed capacity of 9,000 MT per annum. The company holds a certificate of good manufacturing practices (GMP) for the manufacture and sale of bulk drugs / API and ISO 9001:2015 certification.

About the Industry:

The pharmaceutical API industry in India is ranked third-largest globally in terms of volume, behind China and Italy – About 35% of API and intermediaries produced in India are exported and the remaining API and intermediaries are sold in the domestic market, including captive consumption by several large formulation players. India is the largest provider of generic drugs, globally contributing to ~20% of global supply by volume of generic drugs. The overall API industry in India grew from Rs. 781 billion in Fiscal 2017 to Rs. 1,179 billion in Fiscal 2022 registering a CAGR of 8.5% in rupee terms.

Going forward the API industry is expected to clock a growth rate of 9-11% between Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2027, largely driven by growth in API exports, which is expected to deliver healthy growth during the period under consideration. The paracetamol API industry (Domestic consumption + exports) grew from Rs. 22 billion in Fiscal 2017 to Rs. 39 billion in Fiscal 2023. The paracetamol API market growth was mainly supported by growth in the pain and analgesics therapy area which focuses on the treatment of common fever, cough, and cold as well as volume rise coupled with strong realization levels for players. The paracetamol API demand saw an uptick in fiscal 2022 owing to pent-up demand, due to COVID-19 and extensive usage of common cold and fever drugs during the second wave of covid-19. Also, the boost in export demand due to supply restrictions in China gave opportunities for Indian manufacturers to tap the potential export market. Going forward the paracetamol API industry is expected to clock a CAGR of 5-7% between fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2027, largely driven by the demand from domestic formulation manufacturers as well as export markets.
