Zydus Lifesciences' proposed joint venture, Zydus Sunshine Lifesciences (Pvt) Ltd, signed an agreement on October 13, 2026, with the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka to establish a manufacturing plant in Horana. The project involves a phased investment of over USD 20 million on a site spanning nearly four acres. In its initial phase, the plant will manufacture oral solid dosage forms specifically for the Sri Lankan market, with commercial operations slated to commence in 2028. Relative to Zydus Lifesciences' TTM revenue of ₹27,148 crore, the total capex of >$20 million (~₹165–170 crore) represents less than 1% of annual revenue, making it strategically relevant for regional footprint rather than financially material in the near term.
