MUMBAI, India, Aug. 18, 2026 /CNW/ -- Piramal Pharma Ltd. (NSE: PPLPHARMA) (BSE: 543635) ("PPL) has completed the acquisition of an incremental 40.67% stake in Yapan Bio Private Limited ("Yapan Bio"), a Hyderabad-based CDMO specializing in vaccines and biologics for an aggregate cash consideration of 76 crore, or $7.95M USD. As a result of this transaction, PPL now owns 74% of Yapan Bio's equity, making Yapan Bio a subsidiary of PPL.

Finalized on August 18, 2026, the acquisition marks a major step forward in PPL's long-range plan to expand its presence in the biologics sector. With the finalization of this deal, PPL will fully embed the subsidiary's advanced large molecule capabilities into its integrated service offering, enabling the Company to offer customers broader services in the space and expanding its ability to develop and scale complex biologic therapies with greater efficiency. The subsidiary will continue to operate within the structure of Piramal Pharma Solutions $(PPS)$, the CDMO arm of PPL.
