CSM business likely to drive overall growth ahead The company launched four molecules last year, while it had around 25 molecules under the CSM portfolio earlier.

Going ahead, there are around 5-6 molecules at various stages of development, which is expected to be commercialised, going ahead. This would expand CSM portfolio and thereby the order backlog.

CSM molecules portfolio consists of around 25 molecules currently. The company is in advanced stages for around five to six molecules, which are expected to get commercialised in the next fiscal. This should boost order book growth further in years to come. The order backlog remains at $1.5 billion at present, which provides revenue visibility for the next three years at least. Going ahead, since the new MPP is expected to get commissioned by Q4FY21 along with two new MPPs that are planned to come on board by next fiscal, we expect better execution to lead to strong topline growth in...

PI reported better than expected results driven by strong demand for key commercialised molecules and Isagro's performance. Prudent raw material management, traction for branded portfolio, higher utilisation rates and better contribution from ISAGRO drove better than expected EBITDA growth of 34% to Rs 2.8 bn (PLe Rs 2.4 bn). We believe ramp up of 4 recently commercialised molecules and pipeline of +40 products (5-6 molecules in FY22, 12-15 molecules in the next 2 years) will drive growth in coming years, along with...
