Glenmark Pharmaceuticals to launch Zanubrutinib (BRUKINSA) in India after DCGI approval
BRUKINSA is approved in over 70 countries, backed by data from clinical studies such as ALPINE, ASPEN, and SEQUOIA. These trials have demonstrated consistent clinical outcomes across various B-cell cancers. The availability of BRUKINSA in India comes at a time when blood cancers continue to impact a large number of individuals. Estimates suggest that someone is diagnosed with blood cancer every five minutes in India, with annual deaths from the disease numbering around 70,000.
The treatment has shown high response rates and the ability to maintain disease control in patients with different types of B-cell malignancies. It also offers dosing flexibility, allowing for once or twice-daily administration. In the ALPINE study, BRUKINSA was compared with ibrutinib in relapsed or refractory CLL and showed a lower rate of serious cardiac events and fewer treatment discontinuations due to cardiac-related issues.
With its recent regulatory approval, BRUKINSA will now be available to patients in India who are affected by challenging hematological cancers.

Ather Energy launches ‘Battery as a Service' and new programs to boost EV adoption
By Aman Shukla Published on August 14, 2025, 12:08 IST Ather Energy, India's leading electric two-wheeler manufacturer, has announced three major initiatives aimed at making the transition to electric scooters easier and more accessible for Indian riders. The company has introduced Battery as a Service (BaaS), expanded its Assured Buyback programme, and launched an Extended Comprehensive Warranty (ECW), all designed to address the biggest concerns of potential EV buyers: upfront costs, resale value, and warranty coverage. One of the main barriers to switching to electric vehicles has been the higher upfront cost. To tackle this, Ather Energy now offers Battery as a Service, allowing buyers to pay only for the scooter itself while the battery cost is spread over a monthly usage-based plan. With this model, the Ather Rizta can now be purchased starting at Rs 75,999, while the 450 Series begins at Rs 84,341 in Lucknow, making electric scooters far more accessible. Customers are charged based on their kilometre usage, with the cost of the battery recoverable over three to four years according to individual preference. This setup not only reduces the initial investment but also includes free fast charging for a year at Ather's network of over 3,300 fast chargers nationwide, easing both range anxiety and charging costs. Resale value is another concern for potential EV buyers, and Ather has addressed this with its Assured Buyback programme. Initially launched as a pilot, the programme is now available to a larger customer base. It guarantees up to 60 percent of the scooter's value after three years and up to 50 percent after four years, depending on mileage. This gives buyers a clear understanding of the future worth of their scooter and removes the uncertainty around resale in a rapidly evolving electric vehicle market. To provide complete peace of mind, Ather has also introduced the Extended Comprehensive Warranty for all AtherStack™ Pro customers. This warranty protects the battery and eleven other critical components, including the motor, motor controller, dashboard, and charger, for up to five years or 60,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. While electric scooters already have lower running costs than petrol vehicles, this extended warranty ensures that customers are protected against potentially expensive component replacements throughout their ownership journey.
