Mumbai: Piramal Pharma Limited's (PPL) Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), Piramal Pharma Solutions (PPS), announced that PPL has entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% stake in Hemmo Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd. (Hemmo) for an upfront consideration of INR 775 crores and earn-outs linked to achievement of milestones.
