Vasundhara Rasayans

What Vasundhara Rasayans does

Vasundhara Rasayans Limited is an Indian manufacturer and exporter of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) specializing in the antacid therapeutic category. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Hyderabad with its manufacturing plant at Mahad, Maharashtra, the company operates at approximately 1500 metric tonnes of annual powder capacity. Its core product range covers Aluminium Hydroxide Gel, Magnesium Hydroxide, Magaldrate, Magnesium Trisilicate, Magnesium Silicate, and Aluminium Phosphate, offered in paste, powder, and micronised grade powder forms. The company also produces specialty (low heavy lead Aluminium Hydroxide for lake colour), industrial water-treatment chemicals (Aluminium Sulphate, Poly Aluminium Chloride, Aluminium Hydroxide Amorphous), and Friedel-Crafts Reaction intermediates (organic API and dyes).

Manufacturing relies on two principal technical assets: a Spray Drying System that uses indirect heating above 300°C with micron filtration inside a closed loop to minimize microbial and foreign-matter contamination while delivering consistent particle size and bulk density, and a state-of-the-art vertical Friedel-Crafts Reaction facility with three floors, GLR reactors, titanium cooling coil quenchers, and a three-stage HCl scrubber, distinguished by in-house consumption of Aluminium Chloride solution for environmental sustainability. The company is GMP-compliant, publicly listed on BSE (scrip code 538634), and majority-owned by promoter P & J CRETECHEM PRIVATE LIMITED at 61.98% of equity.

Vasundhara Rasayans generates revenue primarily through direct B2B sales of API volumes to enterprise pharmaceutical customers, with both domestic direct sales in India and direct export distribution supported by an in-house container stuffing terminal 125 KMS from Mumbai's JNPT/NSICT ports. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Its customer base includes major Indian pharmaceutical companies — Abbott, Cipla, Novartis, Pfizer India, Ranbaxy, Alembic, Piramal, Meyer Organics, Deys Medical, and Strides Arcolabs — with supplementary reach into food and chemical industry segments. FY2026 sales were reported at Rs 117.75 crore, down 20.64% year-over-year, with Q4 FY2026 standalone net profit of Rs 6.06 crore.
