Strides Pharma Science Ltd saw its shares gain 2.4% on Wednesday following a major announcement regarding the creation of OneSource, India's first speciality pharma Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO). This surge in the stock price highlights the market's positive reaction to the company's strategic move towards expanding its presence in the niche CDMO sector.

The stock opened at ₹1359.45 per share on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) before reaching an intraday high of ₹1382.90. At this level, it traded close to its 52-week high of ₹1,394.95, achieved recently on September 6. The company’s stock movement reflects investor optimism surrounding this significant development.

In a filing to the exchange, Strides Pharma announced that it had successfully secured the approval of both its equity shareholders and secured creditors for the formation of OneSource. This approval was achieved with an overwhelming majority, reinforcing the strong support behind the company's forward-looking initiatives. Strides Pharma believes that this strategic move will create significant value for all stakeholders once OneSource is officially listed.

OneSource aims to become the country’s leading speciality pharma CDMO, covering advanced sectors such as biologics, complex injectables, and oral technologies, including soft-gelatin capsules. These are highly specialized areas that require a deep understanding of pharmaceutical technologies, and the creation of such an organization represents a significant milestone in India’s pharma industry.

The approval process for the creation of OneSource involved not just Strides Pharma's stakeholders but also the stakeholders of OneSource Specialty Pharma Ltd and SteriScience Specialties Private Ltd, both of which will play a role in this venture. The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) guided the meetings, ensuring a transparent process.

Arun Kumar, Executive Chairperson, and Badree Komandur, Managing Director and Group CEO of Strides Pharma, expressed their gratitude for the strong backing received from their stakeholders. They emphasized that the creation of OneSource will unlock significant value for Strides Pharma's stakeholders once the CDMO is listed on the stock exchanges. This move aligns with the company’s long-term vision to establish itself as a leader in speciality pharma manufacturing.

The formation of OneSource was first announced by Strides Pharma in September 2023. Since then, the initiative has received approvals from various regulatory bodies, including the stock exchanges, earlier in May 2023. The next steps in the process involve obtaining final approvals from the NCLT, Mumbai Bench. Once these approvals are in place, OneSource will seek listing approvals from BSE and NSE to officially trade on these platforms.

This development holds tremendous promise for Strides Pharma as it looks to diversify its offerings and cater to high-demand areas such as biologics and complex injectables. With shareholder trust in place and the approval process underway, Strides Pharma is well-positioned to leverage the full potential of OneSource.

The shares of Strides Pharma Science have been on a positive trajectory over the past few weeks. The stock has been trading close to its 52-week high, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s strategic initiatives. The backing of secured creditors and equity shareholders for this critical project shows that Strides Pharma is not only focused on growth but also on enhancing shareholder value in the long term.

The OneSource initiative is part of a broader trend within the pharmaceutical industry, where companies are focusing on specialized CDMO services to tap into high-growth sectors. By establishing OneSource, Strides Pharma is making a bold move into advanced areas such as biologics, injectables, and oral technologies, areas that are increasingly becoming crucial to the future of healthcare.

For Strides Pharma, the journey doesn’t end with the creation of OneSource. The company will need to continuously innovate and expand its services to remain competitive in the global CDMO market. However, with a strong foundation and backing from its shareholders and creditors, Strides Pharma is well-equipped to take on the challenges ahead.

As the company moves forward, there will be increased interest from investors and stakeholders in how Strides Pharma manages the growth and development of OneSource. The future looks promising for the company as it solidifies its position in the global pharmaceutical development landscape.
