They have revised the FY26E topline upwards by 8% on account of expected Revlimid sales being greater than those earlier anticipated. Beyond FY26, Semaglutide and Biosimilars (including Abatacept) are expected to drive business performance. DRRD plans to be present in all Semaglutide markets losing exclusivity in CY26, while Abatacept is scheduled for launch in CY27. The brokerage believes the Street is underestimating the Semaglutide opportunity for Dr. Reddy's. While it may not fully replace Revlimid sales, it could substantially mitigate the earnings decline in FY27. Though Canada, Brazil, India and China are the key Sema markets losing protection in CY26, a number of Emerging Market countries too are going off patent and thus JM Financial has increased its FY27E sales by 5% leading to a 6% increase in FY27E EBITDA. Further, the Indian Pharma companies are entering lower earning growth phase post FY26, thus we have reduced the 1 year forward P/E multiple by 19% to 21x. At an 21x PE Dr Reddys Laboratories on FY27 EPS, the stock remains attractive compared to peers. The brokerage maintains a BUY rating with a target price of Rs 1,418.Promoters held 26.64 per cent stake in the company as of 31-Mar-2025, while FIIs owned 25.75 per cent, DIIs 25.45 per cent.

RBI lowers qualifying asset criteria for NBFC-MFIs to 60% from 75%
The Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) Friday lowered the minimum amount of eligible microfinance loans specialized lenders must hold on their books, allowing microfinance-NBFCs to further diversify their asset base. In a notification Friday, the central bank said qualifying assets (those meeting the definition of microfinance loans) of NBFC-MFIs must constitute a minimum of 60% of the total assets (netted off by intangible assets), on an ongoing basis. The earlier threshold was 75%. 'If an NBFC-MFI fails to maintain the qualifying assets as aforesaid for four consecutive quarters, it shall approach the Reserve Bank with a remediation plan for taking a view in the matter,' the RBI said. The central bank also said that 'qualifying assets' of NBFC-MFIs has been aligned with the definition of 'microfinance loans'. As per RBI rules, microfinance loan is defined as a collateral-free loan given to a household having annual household income up to Rs 3,00,000. 'This policy shift will enable accelerated diversification within our operations, ensuring balance sheet stability and positioning us for robust cross-cycle earnings,' said Ganesh Narayanan, Chief Executive Officer, CreditAccess Grameen Ltd . Reduction in the qualifying asset criteria for NBFC-MFIs is expected to improve loan diversification of lenders, thereby augmenting their credit risk profile . It will also enable them to meet other credit requirements of their end borrowers, according to A M Karthik, Senior Vice President & Co-Group Head, Financial Sector Ratings, ICRA .

Surat DEO issues notices to schools for fee relief to children of diamond polishers
The Surat District Education Office (DEO) on Thursday issued notifications to all schools where children of diamond polishers study and shared a School Fees Special Assistance Application form along with a checklist of relevant documents for students and parents who are eligible for a fee relief. The state government has announced a special assistance package for people from the diamond industry, considering the recession over the last three years. Children of diamond polishers, who have been unemployed after March 2024 and are aged above 21 and have worked for at least three years at a diamond firm, will be eligible for this scheme. Surat district Education Officer Bhagirathsinh Parmar issued the notification after receiving the format from the state government. According to the format, the benefits of the scheme can be availed only for the 2025-26 session, the maximum amount of relief being Rs 13,500 per student. Diamond polisher parents should fill the School Fees Special Assistance Application form and submit it, along with necessary documents, including Aadhaar cards of both the applicant and the student, a passport-size photo of the parent, to the school between June 9 and July 23. The applicant should obtain a certificate of unemployment for a period of one year and a certificate of work experience for the previous three years from the District Employment Office, the District Industries Centre, or a request letter or certificate issued by the Surat Diamond Association. The school authorities would then submit the documents to the District Industries Centre in three phases — on June 30, July 7, and July 24. The school authorities should also attach a forwarding letter, along with a list of students, a cancelled cheque from the school, and fees in accordance with the Fee Regulatory Committee (FRC). DEO Parmar said, 'We have issued the notification to all primary, secondary and higher secondary grant-in-aid, self-finance and government schools in the city. Diamond polishers mainly reside in Varachha, Kapodara, Punagam, Katargam, Sarthana, etc. Non-Gujarati polishers who match all the eligibility criteria can also fill such forms. We have strictly instructed all schools to complete the process with the given time frame. We are coordinating with the Surat Diamond Association, the Surat District Employment Office, and the District Industries Centre, and will make sure that diamond polishers should not face any problem in obtaining the necessary documents. If they do, they should contact us or any of these three offices, and their issue will be resolved.'
