Cipla and plant-protein maker Rocket India plan Rs 300 crore of manufacturing expansion in Karnataka. Cipla is expanding its Bommasandra facility, while Rocket India will expand Gokak production with assured maize supply; Blackstone is evaluating state infrastructure investments.

Why this matters

The capacity plan extends Cipla’s recent India growth push after India sales rose 12% on consumer-health expansion, even as Q1FY27 profit fell 39% despite record India sales and the company prioritised Yurpeak over a semaglutide launch.
