The India business grew by 14 per cent with revenues at Rs 1,245 crore during the quarter.
"Strong outperformance of top brands together with new launches continued to drive market share gains across focus therapies," the company said in a statement after the announcement of financial results on Friday.
In the international markets, the company's Brazil revenues grew fastest at 20 per cent to Rs 184 crore. The growth was aided by strong growth in the generic segment, performance of top brands and new launches.
The German and US businesses grew by 18 per cent and 13 per cent, with revenues at Rs 214 crore and Rs 299 crore, respectively. In the US markets, revenue was complemented by the performance of Dapsone launched in the previous quarter. However, growth was adversely impacted in Germany due to an increase in competition and loss of tenders in previous quarters. "Torrent has already initiated measures to improve price competitiveness," it added.
