Kothari Phytochemicals & Industries

Kothari Phytochemicals & Industries is an Indian public unlisted manufacturer of bulk drugs, phytochemicals, herbal extracts, natural pharmaceutical ingredients, and selected active pharmaceutical ingredients. The company presents itself through its phytochemicals division as "Kothari Phytochemicals International," established in 1974, with a manufacturing campus near Madurai, Tamil Nadu and a registered office in Kolkata, West Bengal. Its marketed product set includes APIs and phytochemical ingredients such as metformin hydrochloride, chlorpropamide, tolbutamide, colchicine, thiocolchicoside, curcumin, forskolin, and calcium sennosides, alongside a broader herbal-extract portfolio. The business appears focused on commercial manufacturing and export rather than discovery-stage biotech R&D, and it cites regulatory filings/approvals including WHO-GMP and U.S. FDA DMFs for selected products. Overall, this is a commercial pharma-phytochemical manufacturer serving healthcare and pharmaceutical customers, not a venture-stage therapeutics developer.
