growth was largely driven by growth in global generics revenues in North America as well as India.
North America
Q1FY25 revenues at ₹ 38.5 billion, YoY growth of 20% and QoQ growth of 18%. Our growth was
largely on account of increase in volumes of our base business, contribution from new launches, partly
offset by price erosion.

During the quarter, we filed one new Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the U.S. FDA. As

ANDAs and five New Drug Applications (NDAs) filed under the Section 505(b)(2) route of the US

believe that 23 of these have the ‘First to File’ status.

promote and distribute Sanofi's vaccine brands.
