The FY24 sales of Mankind Pharma Ltd. stood at Rs 10,335 crore, with Ebitda at Rs 2,550 crore translating into Ebitda margins of 24.7 percent.
According to a report by Mint, the acquisition of BSV will mean expansion of Mankind Pharma's brand portfolio that will now contain more than 40 brands valued at more than Rs 50 crore.
