According to Dilip Shanghvi, Chairman and Managing Director of the Company, "As witnessed in the first six months of this fiscal, our base business continues to progress well in line with our expectations. Pace of product approvals remains good. While the business is set to deliver the expected growth as announced at the beginning of the year, the larger task ahead is revitalizing Taro's business. Even as we handle this and the challenges related to GMP compliance, we expect to emerge as a much stronger company with an expanded product portfolio and a larger international presence."

India formulations - Speciality leadership
