Eris earns zero revenue from exports; hence, it is immune to the US FDA issues currently plaguing the Indian pharmaceutical companies. This serves as a big distinctive factor for the company as compared to its peers. Also, the company has a manufacturing facility at Guwahati in Assam which ensures tax relief till 2024. The annual manufacturing capacity of the unit is 1500 million tablets, 250 million capsules and 40 million sachets. During the last quarter, the operating capacity utilisation of the company remained at 65 per cent on a single shiftbasis in Guwahati, which is ideal considering its recent expansions.
This facility at Assam accounts for about 75 per cent of sales and the balance is outsourced to contract manufactures. As a result, the effective tax rate for the company was as low as 8.3 per cent in FY17 and 12.7 per cent in FY16. The company expects it to be in the range of 8-9 per cent on a consolidated basis for the next year.
