Understanding the Business: Strengths and Growth

Ahmedabad-based Corona Remedies, established in 2004, has carved a strong position for itself in the Indian pharmaceutical market, mainly in chronic and sub-chronic therapies.

Focused Therapeutic Segments

The company’s success depends on the attention to specialized therapeutic areas represented by:

• Women’s Healthcare

• Cardio Diabeto

• Pain Management

• Urology

This has enabled Corona Remedies to achieve a leading position in select segments. With a total portfolio of more than 70 brands, the company has a few ‘engine brands’ which account for a substantial part of its domestic sales.

Outpacing the Market

According to industry reports, Corona Remedies has been cited to be amongst the fastest growing companies amongst the top 30 in the IPM by domestic sales, significantly ahead of the average growth rate of the industry. This sustained growth, coupled with a pan-India sales network of over 2,600 medical representatives, underlines its strong position in the home market.

Financial Snapshot and Valuation

The company has shown good financial growth over the past few years, a key attraction to IPO investors.

Metric (in ₹ crore)	FY23	FY25	CAGR (FY23-FY25)
Total Income	891.10	1,202.35	~16%
Profit After Tax (PAT)	84.93	149.43	~33%
EBITDA Margin	15.3%	20.6%	–
Return on Equity (ROE)	23.3%	27.5%	–

Corona Remedies presents high return ratios, with a Return on Capital Employed of more than 41% in FY25, positioning it among the elite. It also maintains a lean balance sheet with a very low debt-equity ratio, reflecting financial stability.

At the upper end of the price band, ₹1,062, the issue is valued at a P/E multiple of around 43 times its FY25 earnings. This valuation is broadly in line with or at a slight discount to the multiples of its listed, high-quality, branded pharma peers, indicating the issue is fully priced but justifiable given its superior growth and profitability metrics.

Should You Subscribe to Corona Remedies IPO?

The decision to subscribe depends on the investors’ risk appetite and investment horizon.

Reasons for Consideration

High Growth Trajectory – The company’s growth rate consistently outpaces the average of IPM.

• Focus on Chronic Therapies: Chronic diseases provide a long term, predictable revenue stream.

• Strong profitability: excellent ROE and ROCE with improving EBITDA margin.

• Low Leverage: Near-debt-free status provides a solid foundation.

Things to Consider

• OFS Nature: Being a complete Offer for Sale, the company receives no proceeds for future expansion
• Concentration risk: most sales come from just a few “engine brands” and are concentrated in particular regions
• Premium Valuation: The P/E ratio is indicative of a high valuation, therefore leaving little leeway for poor post-listing performance

Analysts recommend subscribing to the Corona Remedies IPO for investors with a medium to high risk appetite and a long-term investment perspective, factoring in robust growth drivers and strong management in the domestic pharma sector.
