History

Granules India was formed in 1984 as Triton Laboratories. Triton produced Paracetamol API at its Bonthapally factory on the outskirts of Hyderabad.[3] Triton scientists found a more efficient way to produce the Paracetamol API, which led to lower capital and raw material requirements.Шаблон:Citation needed In 1987, Triton became the only Indian company aside from Dr. Reddy's Laboratories to export pharmaceutical products to the U.S.Шаблон:Citation needed

Though Triton was growing as an API manufacturer, management decided it could create a value added version of its product.Шаблон:Citation needed In order to distinguish itself from competitors, Triton management pioneered the concept of manufacturing and selling in bulk granulated Paracetamol, also known as direct compressible grade material (DC), or "PFI".Шаблон:Citation needed In 1990, it opened its second manufacturing facility at Jeedimetla to produce multiple APIs.

In 1991,[4] management set up a new entity, which was incorporated as Granules India Limited. Soon after Granules applied the PFI concept to other APIs, set up a PFI facility at Jeedimetla and began exporting the material to various markets including the U.S., Germany and Australia.[5]

In 1995,[4] Granules became a public company, after having initial public offerings on the Bombay and Hyderabad Stock Exchanges.[6]

In 2013, Granules India acquires Auctus Pharma for Rs 120 crore.[7]

In 2016, Granules India commissioned a new state of the art manufacturing unit that hosts facilities for Oncology and High Potent APIs. This new plant is located in Visakhapatnam.

In order to secure API for its Ibuprofen PFI, Granules formed a joint-venture with Hubei Biocause Heilen Pharmaceutical to create Granules Biocause in Wuhan, China. Granules India Limited on announced its intention to divest its entire equity shareholding in Granules Biocause Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. by selling its stake to joint venture partner.[8]
