What if I invest in ORCHPHARMA?

Set a growth rate and see what a monthly SIP would add up to. Your assumption, our arithmetic.

You would put in
₹12.00 lakh
120 instalments
At 10% a year, it would become
₹20.15 lakh

The starting rate is a round number, not a view on this company — this is your assumption, and the figure above is arithmetic on it. Returns are not steady year to year, and a real holding would not grow in a straight line. We do not publish price targets or predict returns.

Hard to value confidentlyLow confidence
One year's profit is a one-off (far above the multi-year norm), so its recurring earnings power is unclear.

What shareholders were asked to approve
3 proposals passed only on promoter votes

A company cannot decide everything on its own. Things like a top executive’s pay, issuing new shares, or re-appointing a director have to be put to the people who own the company, and they vote — one vote per share. So whoever owns the most shares has the most say.

Every vote count above is taken from the result the company filed with the stock exchange, certified by an independent counter. To work out what would have happened without the promoters, we simply remove their votes and re-apply the same legal bar the proposal had to clear. Nothing here is an estimate or an opinion.

Who controls this company, and what it pays them

Most Indian companies are controlled by a family or group — the promoters. The exchange requires them to be listed by name, including members who own no shares at all, and requires the company to disclose any business it does with them.

The promoter group — 1 named members
owning 69.8% between them · as of 2026-06-30
Dhanuka Laboratories Limited69.84%

Names and holdings from the company’s shareholding pattern filed with the exchange; transactions from the related-party note in its annual report. Every figure is as filed — these are legal, disclosed dealings, and what to make of them is your call.

Money it raised, and what it did with it
1 fundraise spent differently than promised

When a company raises money from investors, it has to say up front what the money is for. The rules then make it report, every three months until the money is gone, how much of each of those things it has actually paid for — so a promise made while asking for the money can be checked afterwards.

₹400 cr raised in Jun 2023 by selling shares to large investors
⚑ company reported a change of plan

As of Mar 2026, the company says it has spent 67% of what it set aside, leaving ₹161 cr still to be spent. Care Ratings Limited watches the spending on the exchange’s behalf.

In view of changes in the business environment and to meet current strategic requirements, the Company has modified the allocation of the QIP Proceeds. The commencement of “new block at API Facility of the Company in Alathur” project has been postponed to a later stage. Therefore, QIP Proceeds allotted to API Facility in Alathur has been reallocated with the approval of shareholders at the AGM held on September 30, 2025, to mitigate such additional financial burden, improve profit and ensure the best possible utilization of the QIP proceeds in the overall interest of the Company and its shareholders.the company’s own explanation, as filed · shareholders approved the change

Every figure above is taken from the statement the company files with the stock exchange each quarter, for as long as money it has raised remains unspent. The only thing we work out is how much of each stated purpose has been paid for — one number divided by another from the same filing. Whether a plan that changed was a good change is not something a filing can tell you. See the filing
