2006 PROXY STATEMENT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


1.	Q:	What is a proxy?

	A:	A proxy is a document, also referred to as a proxy card (which is enclosed), by which you authorize someone else to vote for you in the way that you want to vote. Caraco’s Board of Directors is soliciting this proxy. You may also abstain from voting.

2.	Q:	What is a proxy statement?

	A:	A proxy statement is the document the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires to explain the matters on which you are asked to vote on the proxy card. Caraco’s proxy statement, together with its enclosed proxy card, was first mailed to shareholders on or about July 31, 2006.

3.	Q:	Who can vote?

	A:	Only holders of Caraco’s common stock at the close of business on July 25, 2006, the Record Date, can vote at the Annual Meeting. Each shareholder of record has one vote for each share of common stock on each matter presented for a vote at the Meeting.

4.	Q:	How do I vote if my stock is held in “street name?”

	A:	If your Caraco common stock is held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of stock held in “street name.” As a beneficial owner, you do not have the right to vote your stock. Only the “record holder” of the stock has such rights. If you wish to vote your stock, you should either (i) obtain a legal proxy from the record holder of the stock appointing you as its legal proxy or (ii) instruct the record holder how you would like the record holder to vote the stock you own.

5.	Q:	What will I vote on at the Meeting?

	A:	At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will vote to:

		1. Elect three directors for three-year terms expiring in 2009 and upon the election and qualification of their successors.


		2. Transact any other business that is properly submitted before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s) of the Meeting.

6.	Q:	Who can attend the annual meeting?

	A:	You are entitled to attend the annual meeting only if you were a Caraco shareholder as of the Record Date or you hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting. You should be prepared to present valid government-issued photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a shareholder of record, your name will be verified against the list of shareholders of record on the Record Date prior to your being admitted to the annual meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record but hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the Record Date, such as your most recent account statement, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide valid government-issued photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you may not be admitted to the annual meeting.

		The meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m., local time. Check-in will begin at 10:30 a.m., and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

7.	Q:	How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on the proposal?

	A:	The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” all of the nominees listed in Proposal 1.

8.	Q:	How can I vote?

	A:	You can vote in person or by proxy. To vote by proxy, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card. If you return your signed proxy card to American Stock Transfer before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies on the card will vote your shares as you directed. You may revoke a proxy at any time before the proxy is exercised by:

	1.	giving written notice of revocation to Michael Perry, Human Resources Manager of Caraco, at 1150 Elijah McCoy Drive, Detroit, Michigan 48202;

	2.	submitting another proxy that is properly signed and later dated;

	3.	voting in person at the Meeting (but only if the shares are registered in Caraco’s records in the name of the shareholder and not in the name of a broker, dealer, bank or other third party);


9.	Q:	What is a quorum?

	A:	There were 26,427,594 shares of Caraco’s common stock outstanding on the Record Date. A majority of the outstanding shares, or 13,213,798 shares, present or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. For purposes of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes are included. A broker non-vote is a proxy a broker submits that does not indicate a vote for some or all the proposals because the broker does not have discretionary voting authority and the broker did not receive instructions as to how to vote on those proposals. A quorum must exist to conduct business at the Annual Meeting.

10.	Q:	How does voting work?

	A:	If a quorum exists, each director must receive the favorable vote of a majority of the shares voted, excluding abstentions and broker non-votes, present in person or represented by proxy.

		Caraco will vote properly executed Proxies it receives prior to the Meeting in the way you direct. If you sign the proxy card but do not specify instructions, the shares represented by Proxies will be voted “FOR” the nominees for directors. No other matters are currently scheduled to be presented at the Meeting. If any matter or matters are properly brought before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy card to vote the shares represented by the proxy card as they determine.

10.	Q:	Who pays for the costs of the Meeting?

	A:	Caraco pays the cost of preparing and printing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies. Caraco will solicit proxies primarily by mail, but may also solicit proxies personally and by telephone. Caraco will reimburse banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of Caraco’s common stock.

11.	Q:	When are shareholder proposals for the 2007 Annual Meeting due?

	A:	All shareholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement must be submitted in writing to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd., 1150 Elijah McCoy Drive, Detroit, Michigan 48202, before April 2, 2007.


12.	Q:	How may a shareholder communicate with the Board of Directors?

	A:	Shareholders may communicate with the Board of Directors or any member of the Board of Directors by sending a letter addressed to the Board of Directors, c/o Michael Perry, Human Resources Manager, at 1150 Elijah McCoy Drive, Detroit, Michigan 48202. The Board of Directors’ policy is to have all shareholder communications compiled by the Human Resources Manager and forwarded directly to the Board or the director as indicated in the letter. All letters will be forwarded to the appropriate party. The Board of Directors reserves the right to revise this policy in the event that this process is abused, becomes unworkable or otherwise does not efficiently serve the purpose of the policy.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Election of Board of Directors

Caraco’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes with each class of directors elected to a three-year term of office. At each annual meeting, Caraco shareholders elect one class of directors for a three-year term to succeed the class of directors whose term of office expires at that meeting. This year you are voting on three candidate directors. Based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the following individuals, each of whom is a current director, are recommended for re-election: Dilip S. Shanghvi, Jitendra N. Doshi and Dr. John D. Crissman. Mr. Shanghvi has been a director since 1997, Mr. Doshi has been a director since 2001 and Mr. Crissman was appointed a director in July 2005. Each of the nominees has consented to his nomination and has agreed to serve as a director of Caraco if elected.

If any director is unable to stand for re-election, Caraco may vote the shares to elect any substitute nominee recommended by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors does not recommend any substitute nominees, the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting may be reduced by the number of nominees who are unable to serve.

Caraco’s Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” these nominees.

Committees and Meetings of Directors

During fiscal 2006, the Board of Directors met four times. All of our current directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served, except for Messrs. Shanghvi, Desai and Valia. The Board of Directors encourages Board members to attend each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. At the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, four of the Caraco directors were in attendance. In addition to meetings, the Board and the committees take corporate action through unanimous written consents.

The Board of Directors is fixed at nine members. Four of such directors are independent under Amex listing standards currently in effect. Unless a company is a “controlled company” under Amex regulations, a majority of its Board of Directors must be independent. As a result of Sun Pharma owning a majority of the outstanding voting shares, Caraco is a controlled company under Amex regulations and is therefore not required to have a majority of independent directors on its Board.

The Board maintains three standing committees: audit, compensation and independent. These are described below.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting, evaluating, retaining and, where appropriate, replacing Caraco’s independent auditors. Generally, the Audit Committee monitors the integrity of Caraco’s financial statements and the independence and qualifications of the independent auditors. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities are described in more detail in such charter. The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Audit Committee held six meetings in fiscal 2006. The current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Manney, Mr. Reddy and Mr. Ugeux. Mr. Manney is the committee’s Chairman. Each of these members is independent under Section 121(B) of the Amex listing standards currently in effect. As further required by such rules, each of the committee members is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Manney is an audit committee financial expert.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee oversees Caraco’s policies and programs for the compensation of its officers. The Committee is to review and approve the compensation of the officers at least annually and report its actions to the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee may delegate certain of its responsibilities to the chief executive officer, including the determination of base salaries and bonuses of all officers other than the chief executive officer, based on guidelines and restrictions set by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for the review and approval of compensation programs for officers and employees, including fringe benefits and stock options and/or bonuses, as may be from time to time recommended by management. Grants of options or other awards under Caraco’s 1999 Equity Participation Plan are made by the two “non-employee directors” as defined by 16b-3 who are also “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Compensation

Committee held one meeting during fiscal 2006. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Shanghvi, Manney, and Ugeux. Mr. Shanghvi serves as the Chairman. Under Amex regulations, controlled companies, such as Caraco, are not required to have compensation committees consisting solely of independent directors. Two of the three members, Messrs. Manney and Ugeux, are independent under Section 121(A) of the Amex listing standards currently in effect.

Independent Committee. The Independent Committee was established to negotiate a products agreement between Caraco and Sun Pharma Global, Inc. (“Sun Global”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Pharma. In 2005, the Board of Directors ratified and approved the authority of the Independent Committee (with respect to past, present and future actions) to review and approve all related party transactions. The Independent Committee held one meeting during fiscal 2006. The Independent Committee currently consists of Messrs. Crissman, Manney, Reddy and Ugeux. All of the members are independent under Section 121(A) of the Amex listing standards currently in effect. Mr. Ugeux serves as the Chairman.

Nomination of Directors

The Board of Directors has not established a formal nominating committee as the entire Board serves in this capacity. Under Amex regulations, a controlled company is not required to establish a formal nominating committee. The Board of Directors has not maintained a formal nominating committee because the Board of Directors feels that it is not necessary since the size of the Board is relatively small. While the Board has not established a formal committee, in the past the Board has asked one or two of its directors to meet with a number of candidates and to make recommendations to the full Board. The Board may utilize a variety of methods for identifying potential nominees, including considering potential candidates who come to their attention through current officers, directors, Caraco’s professionals, professional search firms or other persons. Once a potential nominee has been identified, the Board evaluates whether the nominee has the appropriate skills and characteristics to become a director in light of the then make-up of the Board of Directors. This assessment includes an evaluation of the candidate’s judgment and skills, such as experience at a policy setting level, financial sophistication, leadership and objectivity. At a minimum, the Board of Directors believes that all members of the Board should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values. Messrs. Crissman and Reddy, who were appointed to the Board in July 2005, were introduced for consideration by the Board by outside counsel and the Chairman of the Board, respectively.

The Board of Directors considers stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board when properly submitted in accordance with Company’s bylaws. The Company’s bylaws provide that nominations for the election of directors may be made by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors if timely notice of such shareholder’s intent has been given in writing to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 calendar days before the date of the Company’s proxy statement is released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting. Each such notice shall set forth (a) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a shareholder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote for the election of directors on the date of such notice and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholders; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange

Commission, had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board of Directors; and (e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Company if so elected.

Report of the Audit Committee

Management is primarily responsible for the financial statements and the reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of Caraco’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for expressing an opinion on those financial statements based on its audit. The Audit Committee reviews these processes on behalf of the Board of Directors. In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements contained in the fiscal 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K with Caraco’s management and its independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as amended, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Caraco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compensation of Directors

Directors who are employees of Caraco or who are directors and/or employees of Sun Pharma and its affiliates do not receive additional compensation for their service on the Board of Directors and its Committees. Each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $12,000, a fee of $1,500 if in person ($500 if by telephone) for each attended Board and Committee meeting (with $500 extra for the chairman of the Committee), a one time grant of 3,000 stock options upon initial election and an annual grant of 1,500 stock options on each anniversary date of election. No additional Committee fees are paid if the Committee meets on

the same day as the Board meets. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and Committee meetings.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

The SEC requires that Caraco provide information about any shareholder who beneficially owns more than 5% of Caraco’s common stock. The following table provides the required information, as of the Record Date, about the shareholders (who are not officers or directors) known to Caraco to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Caraco’s common stock.

The following discloses transactions during fiscal 2006, the Transition Period (January 1, 2005 through March 31, 2005) (the “Transition Period”), and calendar years 2004 and 2003, and proposed transactions between

Caraco and several of the incumbent and nominee directors, executive officers and security holders who beneficially hold in excess of five percent of our outstanding shares:

On November 21, 2002, we entered into a products agreement with Sun Global. Under the agreement, which was approved by our independent directors, Sun Global has agreed to provide us with 25 new generic drugs over a 5-year period. In exchange for each new generic drug transferred to us by Sun Global which passes a bioequivalency test, we issue Sun Global 544,000 shares of Series B preferred stock.

During fiscal 2006, the Transition Period, 2004 and 2003, Sun Global earned 4,896,000, 1,632,000, 3,808,000 shares and 544,000 shares of Series B preferred stock for nine product transfers, three product transfers, seven product transfers and one product transfer, respectively, as provided under the November 2002 products agreement.

During 2003, we borrowed approximately $0.6 million from Sun Pharma, and in 2003 we repaid the entire balance of all of our outstanding loans from Sun Pharma in the amount of approximately $10 million. Prior to April 1, 2001, the interest rate was 10%; thereafter it was 8%.

During fiscal 2006, the Transition Period, 2004 and 2003, we purchased approximately $28.1 million, $5.3 million, $16.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively, of our raw materials and formulations from Sun Pharma. We intend to continue to purchase raw materials and formulations from Sun Pharma in fiscal 2007.

During fiscal 2006, the Transition Period, 2004 and 2003, Caraco purchased at Sun Pharma’s cost, approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of machinery and equipment from Sun Pharma. We intend to continue to purchase machinery equipment from Sun Pharma in fiscal 2007.

We entered into two non-cancelable operating leases during 2000 with Sun Pharma to lease production machinery. The leases each require rental payments of $4,245, and expired during fiscal 2006.

Caraco entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement and a distribution and sale agreement in December 2004 with respect to one product with an affiliate of Sun Pharma, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. (“SPII”). Caraco entered into another distribution and sales agreement with SPII in the Transition Period with respect to another product. There were no earnings by Caraco from these agreements in 2004. In the Transition Period, Caraco earned $45,000 from the sale and distribution of the first product and $33,000 from the sale and distribution of the second product. In fiscal 2006, Caraco earned $290,000 and $0 from the manufacture, sale and distribution of the first product and from the distribution and sale of the second product, respectively.

The Company incurred approximately $172,000 of costs during the period for the studies performed by SPARC. No similar studies were performed by SPARC during fiscal 2006 or during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

During fiscal 2006, the Company had four executive officers, Daniel H. Movens, its CEO, Jitendra N. Doshi, its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Robert Kurkiewicz, its Senior Vice President – Technical and Gurpartap Singh Sachdeva, its Vice President – Sales and Marketing. Each has entered into employment agreements with the Company as disclosed in greater detail under “Compensation of Executive Officers – Employment Agreements” below.

The key elements of such executives’ compensation is a base salary, which may be adjusted annually, based on performance and other factors deemed reasonable by the Company, a performance bonus, stock options and/or grants of stock. For fiscal 2006, the Compensation Committee increased the base salaries of the executive officers (other than the chief executive officer) as set forth under “Compensation of Executive Officers-Employment Agreements” below based on performance and comparable salaries of other generic pharmaceutical companies. See “CEO Compensation” below for a separate discussion of the CEO’s compensation for fiscal 2006. Pursuant to guidelines and restrictions set by the Compensation Committee, the chief executive officer awarded discretionary bonuses to the other executive officers based on sales revenue performance for fiscal 2006.

Stock options and stock grants serve as a long-term incentive plans for such executive officers in that the grant of stock options and the grant of stock (which both vest over time) are intended to align the executive officers long-term interests with those of the shareholders. Stock options and grants of stock provide these executive

officers with the opportunity to purchase and maintain an equity interest in Caraco and to share in the appreciation of the value of the stock. The Company believes that stock options and stock grants directly motivate these executives to maximize long-term stockholder value. The vesting periods also encourage these key employees to continue in the employ of Caraco.

CEO Compensation

In fiscal 2006, our most highly compensated executive officer was Daniel H. Movens, the Chief Executive Officer. For fiscal 2006, Mr. Movens (who commenced employment in May 2005) received a salary of $352,900 and earned a bonus of $146,250 for fiscal 2006. Mr. Movens’ salary and bonus are determined based on his employment agreement. Among other things, Mr. Movens’ employment agreement provides that Mr. Movens shall receive a base salary of $390,000 (which is to be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and adjusted accordingly in its discretion), and may receive a bonus of up to 50% of the base compensation (with 25% of the base compensation guaranteed for the first year). In addition, pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Movens was granted stock options as of his commencement date for 40,000 shares (which vest over a period of three years) and was granted stock as of his commencement date for 45,000 shares (which vest over a period of three years). Under the employment agreement, the bonus is to be based on mutually set performance objectives/goals between the Board and Mr. Movens.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

The following table sets forth certain information relating to option grants in fiscal 2006 to the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table above.

Option/SAR Grants in Last Fiscal Year


	Number of Securities Underlying Options/SARs		% of Total Options/SARs Granted to Employees in			Exercise or Base Price			Expiration		Potential Realizable Value at Assumed Annual Rates of Stock Price Appreciation for Option Term (3)(4)
	Granted #(1)(2)		Fiscal Year			($/Sh)			Date		5 %		10%

Daniel H. Movens		40,000		100	%		$	8.31		5-2-11	$	113,200	$	256,800
Jitendra N. Doshi		—		—				—		—		—		—
Robert Kurkiewicz		—		—				—		—		—		—
Gurpartap Singh Sachdeva		—		—				—		—		—		—


(1)	None of the options granted were options with tandem SARs and no free-standing SARs were granted.

(2)	Granted to the named executive officer on May 2, 2005 pursuant to his employment agreement. The options become exercisable in one third increments on May 2, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. If a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement) occurs, these options would become immediately exercisable.

(3)	Potential Realizable Value is calculated by determining the per share stock price for the option term based on the assumed growth rates, subtracting the exercise price per share and multiplying the difference by the number of shares underlying the grant. Five percent (5%) annual growth (compounded) results in a stock price per share of $11.14 and 10% annual growth (compounded) results in a stock price per share of $14.73.

(4)	The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised, so that there is no assurance the value realized by an executive will be at or near the amounts reflected in this table.

Aggregated Option SAR Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Option Values
