Mankind Pharma Q4: Profit drops 10%, revenue up 27% on domestic growth
Delhi-based Mankind Pharma on Wednesday reported a 10 per cent fall in consolidated net profit for the March quarter of 2024-25 (Q4 FY25) at ₹424.65 crore from ₹476.59 crore in the same period last financial year.
Mankind's revenue from operations rose to ₹3,079 crore in Q4, a 27 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) surge from ₹2,422 crore.
At the operating level, Mankind's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) rose to ₹686 crore, with an Ebitda margin of 22.3 per cent in the March quarter. This compares to ₹589 crore and 24.3 per cent, respectively, in the same period last financial year.
Commenting on the results, Rajeev Juneja, vice-chairman (VC) and managing director (MD), said the company has achieved a healthy revenue growth in Q4. This was driven by strong growth in chronic therapies, recovery in the consumer segment and consolidation of Bharat Serums and Vaccines (BSV), he added.
According to the company, its share in the domestic market increased from 4.4 per cent in March 2024 to 4.8 per cent as of March 2025. It was on account of BSV acquisition and leadership in the gynaecology segment.
Mankind had completed the acquisition of 100 per cent stake in BSV for ₹13,768 crore in October 2024.
The company reported that its domestic business revenues witnessed Y-o-Y growth of 18 per cent to ₹2,544 crore in the fourth quarter from ₹2,155 crore in Q4 FY24.
'Recent key launches like Empagliflozin, Inclisiran and Vonoprazan were among the top five in their respective categories,' the company said in its investor presentation.
Mankind's consumer healthcare segment also reported a revenue growth of 14 per cent in Q4.
The export business witnessed a growth of 100 per cent in the March quarter. It was driven by an increase in the base business and launches in the past one-two years, among others.
The company declared its results after market hours. On Wednesday, Mankind Pharma's share went down marginally by 0.69 per cent, ending the day's trade at ₹2,533.03 on the BSE.

Pottery gains popularity among youth as creative outlet & stress relief
Pune: The world of ceramics and pottery is gaining popularity among youth as a creative outlet, combining art, sustainability and self-expression, offering a refreshing escape from their hectic lives. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now IT professional Dhaval Narvekar, a resident of Wanowrie, said, "Pottery is not easy and requires a lot of focus. It helps me de-stress. I enrol in regular workshops to learn different techniques of pottery and have created a small collection of my own." Camp resident Leena D'Souza said she was introduced to pottery at a flea market last year and has continued to pursue it since then. "There was a potter's wheel at one of the flea markets that I visited last year. I now attend regular classes at a pottery studio to pursue it as a full-time profession," she said. The tactile experience of working with clay, the joy of crafting functional and beautiful pieces, and the meditative quality of slow craftsmanship are attracting many young people to ceramics and pottery for its therapeutic benefits. Magarpatta-based ceramics artist Sneha Virwani said she has been holding hand-building pottery workshops for enthusiasts. "Working with stoneware clay, we create hand-pinched pottery that gives each piece a natural, unique shape. Often, it's the imperfections or cracks that add beauty to the pottery," Virwani said. Ceramics have diverse applications, from functional items like cups and plates to decorative wall hangings. Mumbai-based artist Dishaa Kapoor, founder of Matrika Pottery Studio, caters to enthusiasts aged 30-60. "Pottery is like meditation, helping you disconnect from routine.

IIT-Delhi to start 4-year BTech course in design
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Delhi will launch a four-year BTech in design from the 2025–26 academic year, targeting JEE Advanced qualifiers with a passion for creativity, problem-solving and complex socio-technical challenges, the institute said in a statement on Saturday. The programme, overseen by IIT's department of design, intends to merge engineering syllabus with design thinking to help students develop solutions to real-world issues. Admission will depend on clearing the design aptitude test named Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED), aside from JEE (Advanced) rankings. 'This is a unique programme crafted especially for empathetic and creative minds intent on understanding socio-technical systems and designing solutions for the wicked problems in these systems,' IIT-Delhi said in a statement. The curriculum blends core design disciplines such as systematic design thinking and research methods with courses from other departments, ensuring a trans-disciplinary approach, IIT said. Half of the coursework will focus on design while the remainder will leverage IIT-Delhi's expertise in engineering, management, humanities and policy. 'The programme curriculum will pave the way for easy collaboration and harness the existing strengths between the design department and other departments/centres/schools. The aim is to prepare the students in such a way that at the end of the programme they are confident in using design as a vehicle to address problems in industry and society,' IIT-Delhi said.

Infosys gets huge relief on GST as DGGI closes ₹32,400-crore pre-show cause notice
In a major relief for Infosys, the Director General of GST Intelligence has closed pre-show cause notice proceedings against the company for financial years 2018-19 to 2021-22 involving a staggering ₹32,403 crore in GST dues. The latest move effectively ends nearly a year-long GST saga for India's second-largest IT services firm. Mid-last year, the goods and services tax (GST) authorities had slapped ₹32,403 crore notice on Infosys for services availed by the company from its overseas branches for five years starting 2017. The GST demand, in fact, exceeds Infosys's annual profits — Infosys's net profit for full FY25 stood at ₹26,713 crore — and its closure now is bound to come as a significant relief for the tech major. Also Read | After ₹32,000 crore demand to Infosys, government said to mull GST notices to other IT majors The Bengaluru-headquartered company, in a BSE filing, said with the receipt of the latest communication from DGGI "this matter stands closed". 'In continuation to our earlier communications on July 31, 2024, August 1, 2024 and August 3,2024 on GST, this is to inform that the company has today received a communication from the Director General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) closing the pre-show cause notice proceedings for the financial years 2018-19 to 2021-22,' the company said in the filing late Friday (June 6, 2025) evening. Infosys, which competes with the likes of TCS, Wipro and others for global IT contracts, said it had received and responded to a pre-show cause notice issued by DGGI for the period July 2017 to March 2022 on the issue of non-payment of IGST under Reverse Charge Mechanism. 'The GST amount as per the pre-show cause notice for this period was Rs 32,403 crore. The company had on August 3, 2024 received a communication from DGGI closing the pre-show cause notice proceedings for the financial year 2017-2018. With the receipt of today's communication from DGGI, this matter stands closed,' Infosys said. Also Read | Nasscom defends Infosys, says ₹32,000-cr. GST notice shows lack of understanding of industry model In July last year, Infosys had informed that Karnataka State GST authorities issued a pre-show cause notice for payment of GST of ₹32,403 crores for the period July 2017 to March 2022 towards the expenses incurred by overseas branch offices of Infosys Ltd, and added that the company has responded to the pre-show cause notice. 'The company has also received a pre-show cause notice from Director General of GST Intelligence on the same matter and the company is in the process of responding to the same,' the filing of July 2024 had said. All along, Infosys maintained that GST is not applicable on these expenses. 'Additionally, as per a recent circular issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs on the recommendations of the GST Council, services provided by the overseas branches to Indian entity are not subject to GST,' Infosys had argued back in July 2024. The tech firm had asserted GST payments are eligible for credit or refund against export of IT services. 'Infosys has paid all its GST dues and is fully in compliance with the central and state regulations on this matter,' the company had contended. The document sent to Infosys by GST authorities at that point had reportedly said, 'In lieu of receipt of supplies from overseas branch offices, the company has paid consideration to the branch offices in the form of overseas branch expense. Hence, M/s Infosys Ltd, Bengaluru is liable to pay IGST under reverse charge mechanism on supplies received from branches located outside India to the tune of Rs 32,403.46 crores for the period 2017-18 (July 2017 onwards) to 2021-22.' The Directorate General of GST Intelligence in Bengaluru had been of the opinion that Infosys did not pay the Integrated-GST (IGST) on the import of services as a recipient of services. For the just-ended March quarter, Infosys reported an 11.7 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to ₹7,033 crore mainly on account of compensation to employees, and acquisitions during the reported period. The company has guided for a revenue growth of 0% to 3% in constant currency terms in the current fiscal year, citing uncertainty in the environment. For the full FY25, profits saw a marginal increase of 1.8% to ₹26,713 crore; revenues climbed 6.06% to reach ₹1,62,990 crore - exceeding its guidance of 4.5% to 5% for the full FY25.
