India pharma, healthcare revenue to grow steadily in Q1FY26E; EBITDA margins under pressure: Report

Time of India2 days ago
Indian pharma and healthcare sector will witness steady revenue growth in the first quarter of the Financial Year 2026 (Q1FY26E), but concerns loom as EBITDA margins are expected to decline amid rising input costs and pricing pressures, according to a report by HDFC Securities.
The report added that the pharma sector firms studied by it may witness a 11 per cent year-on-year (YoY) sales growth, driven by an 11 per cent YoY increase in the India business along with 2 per cent QoQ growth in US sales (+2 per cent YoY).
The EBITDA, which stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, is a financial metric used to assess a company's profitability and operational efficiency.

The report stated that EBITDA margins for the pharma segment are expected to decrease by 42bps YoY, driven by price erosion in the US and an expected increase in research and development (R&D).
The hospital business is projected to grow by 15 per cent YoY, as muted occupancy will be partly supported by steady ARPOB, or Average Revenue Per Occupied Bed, which is a key performance indicator used in the healthcare industry to assess a hospital's financial performance.

Travel Food Services shares tumble 5% from peak after listing on premium

The shares of Travel Food Services, which got listed on the exchanges earlier today, has fallen by 5% from its intraday high of Rs 1,128.90 on the BSE after listing at a gain of 2.6% over the issue price of Rs 1,110. ADVERTISEMENT From its issue price, the stock has fallen by 2.12%. Travel Food Services, a prominent operator of airport-based quick service restaurants (QSRs) and lounges, made its stock market debut on Monday with a 2.38% premium on the BSE. The shares opened at Rs 1,126.20 on the BSE and Rs 1,125 on the NSE, against the issue price of Rs 1,100. The IPO saw a moderate response from investors, closing with an overall subscription of 3.03 times. The Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) category recorded the highest demand at 8.10 times, while retail investor participation remained subdued at just 0.73 times. The Non-Institutional Investor (NII) segment was subscribed 1.67 times, indicating cautious interest from high-net-worth investors. Travel Food Services, backed by UK-based SSP Group, operates 397 quick service restaurant outlets and lounges across 14 airports in India and three airports in Malaysia, covering major hubs such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai. ADVERTISEMENT The company offers a diverse food and beverage portfolio comprising 117 partner and in-house brands, serving the rising demand for food and travel services at high-traffic transit locations.

Robert Vadra appears before ED in Sanjay Bhandari case

NEW DELHI: Robert Vadra, the businessman husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate on Monday for his questioning in connection with the UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari linked money laundering case, official sources said. The businessman's statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they said. The 56-year-old Vadra was called by the agency to depose last month but he had sought deferment of his summons as he had to travel abroad. He is being investigated by the central probe agency in three different money laundering cases, including this one. The two others pertain to alleged irregularities in land deals. The 63-year-old Bhandari fled to London in 2016 soon after the Income-Tax department raided him in Delhi. He was recently declared a fugitive economic offender by a Delhi court. A UK court last month refused the Indian government's application seeking permission to appeal in Britain's Supreme Court against the discharge of Bhandari in an extradition case against him, virtually ruling out chances of his being brought to the country to face the law. The ED had filed a chargesheet in this case in 2023 alleging Bhandari "acquired" the 12, Bryanston Square house located in London in 2009 and got it renovated "as per the directions of Vadra and the funds for renovation were provided by Robert Vadra." Vadra has denied that he owned any London property directly or indirectly. Terming these charges as a political witch hunt against him, he has said that he was being "hounded and harassed" to subserve political ends.
