Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (Torrent Pharma) has once again shown its leadership in responsible corporate citizenship for the fiscal year 2024–2025. By giving Rs 10.78 crores of unspent cash to existing programmes, the corporation not only exceeded its statutory Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending target but also demonstrated transparent governance.
This designated sum, which ensures the continuous implementation of multi-year programmes, is far from indicating passivity; rather, it shows the pharmaceutical giant’s dedication to long-term social efforts. “Happiness for All” is the core tenet of Torrent Pharma’s CSR vision. The business feels that without concurrent contributions to the welfare of the community, financial performance is lacking. Torrent exceeded the statutory minimum of Rs 33.31 crores for CSR initiatives in FY 2024–2025, spending Rs 35.03 crores. Additionally, the company transferred unspent funds for future projects, demonstrating integrity, foresight, and conformity with the Companies Act, 2013.
The average net profit of the preceding three fiscal years, which was Rs 1,665.67 crores, was used by Torrent Pharmaceuticals, the seventh-largest pharmaceutical business in India, to determine its CSR responsibilities. In the end, the corporation exceeded its legal obligation by spending Rs 35.03 crores. However, in April 2025, Rs 10.78 crores—designated for long-term continuing projects—was legally put into the Unspent CSR Account. The term “unspent” in corporate CSR reporting is prone to misunderstanding. This number does not imply underperformance or negligence at Torrent Pharma. Rather, it refers to well-planned sums that have been allocated for long-term initiatives that need consistent support.
This transfer guarantees the uninterrupted continuation of ongoing programmes. Because the Companies Act mandates that these allocations be made to a different bank account within 30 days of the end of the fiscal year, it also ensures transparency. Furthermore, in FY 2025, Torrent Pharma used Rs 11.78 crores that came from previously unspent allocations, proving that designated funds are regularly raised to make an impact. REACH (Reach Each Child), Torrent Pharma’s premier CSR initiative, continued to receive the largest share of its CSR financing, including contributions from both ongoing project accounts and current spending.
