Torrent Pharmaceuticals, one of the top Indian pharmaceutical companies, is going to make a significant financial move after getting the green light from the regulatory body for its acquisition of JB Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals.
Clearance from the competition regulator allows Torrent Pharma to go ahead with its bond issuance of up to Rs 14,000 crore ($1.6 billion), which will be the largest single rated bond issue in the current financial year by the company.
This bond program is the first of several such announcements this year that effectively signal a new wave of corporate reliance on the domestic markets to finance merger and acquisition and expansion initiatives in India.
If the bond deal closes successfully, it will be a testament to the company’s sound financial position and give further support to its strategic management line to the investors. The purchase of JB Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals is a major move to propel Torrent Pharma’s market dominance.

Industry analysts foresee that the acquisition could cause the company to be ranked from the seventh position to the fifth largest pharmaceutical company in India, by market share, hence, having a stronger presence in both the domestic and international markets.
The strategic move embodies the commitment of Torrent Pharmaceuticals to upgrade, and the company's faith in the Indian bond market as a resourceful funding channel for the transaction of large-scale deals. The company’s good credit rating is her strong point, which allows her to raise this immense amount of money with ease.
When India’s pharmaceutical industry is on its way to consolidating and evolving, Torrent Pharma’s purchase and bond issuance may represent the future of consolidation and innovative financing strategies in the sector.
