Solara Active Pharma tanks 20%, hits 52-week low on weak Q3 results
Shares of Solara Active Pharma Sciences were locked at the 20% circuit floor of Rs 775.05 on the BSE on Thursday after the company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 1.4 crore for the December quarter (Q3FY22), also its 52-week low, on the back of revenue lower. The pharmaceutical company posted a profit of Rs 65.78 crore in the same period last year (Q3FY21).
The stock has corrected 58% from its 52-week high of Rs 1,859.30 hit on May 19, 2021. About 55,000 shares had changed hands as of 09:33am, with 770,000 pending orders on the NSE and BSE.
In 3QFY22, the company’s revenue fell 74% quarter-on-quarter and 76% year-on-year to Rs 105 crore. It reported an operating loss of Rs 817 crore against a profit of Rs 885 crore in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
During the quarter, operating income declined due to continued weak demand for ibuprofen and a few other key products and delays in the approval of Covld-19 products. In addition, the Group also included a provision for sales returns to execute its strategy of shifting sales to direct customers, significantly limiting channel sales.
In addition to this one-time impact, management said, “Solara’s Q3FY22 performance was subdued, mainly due to subdued market demand in regulated markets and higher costs resulting from a volatile materials pricing environment and increased logistics costs”.
Nonetheless, management believes the demand side has bottomed out and business will return to normal starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
“We remain committed to our long-term goals for growth and profitability, which we expect to rebound from the second half of next fiscal year. In the near term, we expect the revenue trajectory to return to pre-Q3FY22 levels,” management said.
Meanwhile, Solara announced that Bharath R Sesha has resigned as the company’s managing director and chief executive officer and director (MD & CEO) to pursue interests outside the company. Rajesh Salwan, who currently serves as the company’s executive vice-chairman, has been given additional responsibilities as MD and CEO, the company said.

Virat Kohli pays tribute to Ratan Tata, Jay Shah ‘deeply saddened’ by veteran industrialist’s demise
Tributes continue to pour in for Ratan Tata, with Virat Kohli and Jay Shah taking to their social media accounts to bid farewell to the industrialist.
Former Indian captain and batting legend Virat Kohli paid a touching tribute to Ratan Tata, the legendary business tycoon, who passed away on Wednesday night. Tata, a Padma Vibhushan recipient, was undergoing treatment in intensive care since Monday but breathed his last in Mumbai, leaving a profound impact on many across the nation.
Kohli expressed his condolences through his Instagram account on Thursday morning, sharing a heartfelt message along with a photo of the late industrialist.
Tata’s contribution to business, society, and philanthropy has been widely acknowledged, and his passing marks the end of an era.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary, Jay Shah, also conveyed his sorrow, stating, “Deeply saddened by the loss of Shri Ratan Tata Ji. His leadership, integrity, and dedication to society set a remarkable standard for legacy. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones. Rest in peace, Sir.” Shah’s words reflect the collective grief of a nation that has long admired Tata’s contributions to the country.
BCCI’s tribute
Additionally, the BCCI issued a statement about his demise.
“The BCCI expresses its deepest sorrow and joins the nation in mourning the passing of Shri Ratan Tata ji. His invaluable contributions across diverse fields have been instrumental in shaping India’s growth and success story.
His extraordinary legacy, founded on the principles of passion, empathy, visionary leadership, innovation, and excellence, will continue to inspire and guide future generations for years to come,” the statement read.
Ratan Tata, born on December 28, 1937, in Mumbai, embarked on his journey with the Tata Group in 1962 as a young executive. Over the decades, he transformed the group into a global conglomerate. His work was acknowledged with India’s second-highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2008, and he received numerous accolades, including honorary doctorates from prestigious institutions in India and abroad.
Tata is survived by his family, including brothers and sisters Simone Tata, Jimmy Tata, Noel Tata, Aloo Tata, Shireen Jejeebhoy, Deanne Jejeebhoy, Leah Tata, Maya Tata, Neville Tata, Manasi Tata, Jamset Tata, Tiana Tata, and others, as mentioned in a family statement.
