This study attempts to measure the financial performance of the Indian Pharmaceutical industry taking into consideration the top six Indian Pharma companies for a period of five years i.e. from 2015-16 to 2019-20. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, ratios are computed using the five-step DuPont model. DuPont analysis is one of those useful techniques put in use to portion the diverse drivers of return on equity. The grouping of a variety of components of ROE helps investors by focusing on the vital drivers of the financial performance individually, to recognize the strengths and weaknesses. Financial statement analysis is basically a study of the association among a variety of financial aspects in a business disclosed by a set of statements and examination of these trends as shown in a series of statements. A detailed financial analysis of all six companies using the DuPont system shows that no sample unit is able to maintain a good profit margin throughout the study period.
