ATLANTA, GA – As the US government’s recently implemented 100% tariff on branded and patented drug imports sends ripples through the pharmaceutical industry, Senores Pharmaceuticals Limited (NSE: SENORES) appears remarkably well-positioned to not only weather the storm but potentially capitalize on the shifting landscape. Thanks to a fully operational, USFDA-approved manufacturing facility in Atlanta, Georgia, the company is largely shielded from the impact of the new tariffs, offering investors a compelling case for resilience and growth.
The tariffs, effective October 1st, where designed to incentivize domestic drug production.however, companies already committed to US manufacturing are effectively exempt, creating a distinct advantage for players like Senores. This advantage is already reflected in the company’s strong performance, delivering a robust 40% return over the past six months.
A Diversified Pharmaceutical Powerhouse
Senores Pharmaceuticals is a research-driven global company focused on developing and manufacturing a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical products for regulated markets like the US, Canada, and the UK, as well as emerging economies.

Beyond the US, Senores serves over 40 emerging markets with over 308 product registrations and a further 719 applications in the pipeline. This diversified approach, coupled with strong research and development capabilities across three sites (two in India and one in the US), underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and global reach.
Currently, Senores has a market capitalization of Rs. 3,373.43 crore (approximately $405 million USD) with a stock price of Rs.732.50.
Strategic Advantages in a changing Market
Senores’ strength lies not only in its US manufacturing footprint but also in its strategic focus on key market segments. According to Managing Director Swapnil Shah, the company’s ability to serve both the government and retail channels in the US provides a “considerable competitive advantage.”
“A large part of our product pipeline has potential to cater to government contracts,” Shah stated. “Our capability to manufacture and supply controlled substances in the US is another differentiator for us.”
This dual-channel approach, combined with a rapidly expanding CDMO/CMO business, provides a stable revenue stream and predictable cash flow.Senores currently has contracts spanning over 40 products across a diverse range of international markets.
Atlanta Facility: A hub for Growth
The company’s atlanta facility, spanning 185,300 sq. ft., is a cornerstone of its US operations.

Two additional lines are slated for completion in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2026, effectively doubling annual capacity to 2 billion units.
