Sanofi India Limited Q1 FY27
What went well
- Strong Q2 performance with total income up 7% and sales up 6%, driven by domestic market (+8%).
- Diabetes portfolio, including Toujeo (+11% market share value growth) and Soliqua (+16% QoQ growth), delivered double-digit growth.
- Significant PBT growth of 19% in Q2, reaching INR 112 crores, and margin expansion to 27%.
What to watch
- Partnership business showed only 2% growth in Q2 and contributed to a 2% sales decline in H1 due to transition impacts and aggressive competition.
- Export business declined by 2% in Q2, facing heavy competition in mature markets like Australia.

Guidance record · Q1 FY27
what the last two calls moved 11 tracked 3 delivered 2 missed 6 open- Personnel Cost delivered said Q2 FY26 Promised: saving will be more and more in the personnel cost next year Q1 FY27: The trend of cost control continues, with overall operating expenses down 5% in Q2 and 15% in H1 2026, reinforcing the achievement of this promise.
- Digital Transformation missed said Q2 FY26 Promised: End of this year, we will be aligned to the more modern system that we have within the group in India. Q1 FY27: The end-of-2025 deadline has passed with no confirmation of completion. Vague mentions of evaluating 'AI platforms' do not satisfy the specific promise of alignment with the group's system.
- Partnership Segment Growth at risk said Q2 FY26 Promised: we are growing by 2% in this segment and we are aiming to continue to grow that Q1 FY27: The business returned to 2% growth in Q2 2026. However, management does not expect to reach industry growth in 2026, placing the sustainability of this growth at risk.
