In June 2020, PPL signed an agreement with The Carlyle Group Inc. to invest growth equity capital for a 20% stake in Piramal Pharma Limited. Accordingly, the pharmaceuticals business was vertically demerged from Piramal Enterprises Limited (PEL).

PPL includes Piramal Pharma Solutions (PPS), an integrated Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO); Piramal Critical Care (PCC), a Complex Hospital Generics business; and the India Consumer Healthcare business, selling over-the-counter (OTC) products. In addition, it has a joint venture with Allergan, a leader in ophthalmology in the Indian formulations market.
Mr. Ajay Piramal, Chairman of Piramal Group, said, "Today, with the listing of Piramal Pharma Limited, we have ensured timely completion of the demerger process announced last year. The listing is in line with our objective to transform the group from a multi-sector conglomerate into two separate sector-focused listed entities. The simplification of the corporate structure will unlock greater shareholder value. PPL is well poised to be a global Indian brand in the pharmaceutical space. It has an integrated business model, niche product offerings and a global team to deliver responsible growth in the future."
Ms. Nandini Piramal, Chairperson, PPL said, "We are pleased that Piramal Pharma is embarking on a new journey as a focused Pharma entity with a simplified corporate structure. Today, we are growing faster than the market and are relevant to customers in each of our business lines where we offer our products and services. Going forward, we intend to maintain focus on growing our chosen business lines and will identify and secure inorganic and organic growth opportunities to generate consistent shareholder value. We take pride in our outstanding quality track record, and focus on patient, customer, and consumer-centricity."
