Sector / Market Context
India's contract research and manufacturing services industry has seen sustained growth in recent years, supported by global pharmaceutical companies increasing their outsourcing to Indian CDMO partners. According to FICCI estimates, India's pharmaceutical sector exports crossed USD 27 billion in FY2024, with contract manufacturing contributing a growing share. SEBI's framework for electronic AGMs, maintained since the pandemic-era MCA circulars, continues to allow listed companies to conduct shareholder meetings through VC and OAVM, enabling wider retail participation in corporate governance processes without requiring physical attendance.
