Five Largest Brands
| Brand |
MAT June 2025 Domestic Sales |
% of Total Domestic Sales |
Domestic Sales CAGR MAT June 2022 to MAT June 2025 |
| B-29 | Rs. 1,506.37 mn | 10.55% | 20.07% |
| Myoril | Rs. 963.56 mn | 6.75% | 35.63% |
| Tricium | Rs. 758.10 mn | 5.31% | 17.80% |
| Cortel | Rs. 724.86 mn | 5.07% | 13.42% |
| Obimet | Rs. 613.93 mn | 4.30% | 22.25% |
IPORupee View: The top five brands contributed around 31.98% of total domestic sales in MAT June 2025. This is positive because the company has strong brands, but retail investors should also check brand concentration. If a few brands contribute a large share of sales, any slowdown, competition or pricing pressure in those brands can affect growth.
Brand Acquisition Track Record
Corona Remedies has also grown by acquiring brand portfolios from established pharmaceutical companies.

IPORupee View: This shows that Corona Remedies is not only launching its own products but also acquiring established brands and scaling them. The Myoril acquisition is especially important. Myoril sales increased from Rs. 417.75 million at acquisition to Rs. 963.56 million in MAT June 2025. The GSK portfolio also grew strongly from Rs. 7.28 million to Rs. 652.25 million.
Domestic and International Revenue Mix
Corona Remedies is strongly India-focused. More than 96% of revenue from operations comes from India in all reported periods.

IPORupee View: This is a clear domestic pharma story. Around 96% of revenue from operations comes from India. This reduces exposure to USFDA-type export risk and global pricing pressure, but also means the company is heavily dependent on the Indian Pharmaceutical Market, domestic doctor prescriptions, pricing regulations and Indian distribution reach.
Manufacturing Facilities and Owned Manufacturing
Corona Remedies operates manufacturing facilities in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh and is in the process of commissioning a hormone manufacturing facility in Gujarat.
| Manufacturing Area |
Importance |
| Gujarat facility | Supports formulation manufacturing |
| Himachal Pradesh facility | Supports formulation manufacturing |
| Proposed hormone facility in Gujarat | Important for women’s healthcare and hormone-related therapies |
| Owned manufacturing share | 64.01% of FY2025 revenue from operations came from owned manufacturing |
IPORupee View: Owned manufacturing gives better control over quality, supply and margins. The proposed hormone facility is strategically important because women’s healthcare is the company’s largest focused therapy area. However, pharma manufacturing also brings regulatory, quality-control, plant-utilisation and compliance risks.

| Net Debt / Net Cash | Rs. million | Net cash 179.99 | Net cash 66.40 | Net debt 621.20 | Net cash 952.47 |
IPORupee Financial Insight: Revenue from operations increased from Rs. 8,840.50 million in FY2023 to Rs. 11,964.15 million in FY2025. EBITDA increased from Rs. 1,350.30 million to Rs. 2,459.13 million, and PAT increased from Rs. 849.29 million to Rs. 1,494.34 million during the same period.
The strongest point is margin improvement. Gross profit margin improved from 76.14% in FY2023 to 80.23% in FY2025, EBITDA margin improved from 15.27% to 20.55%, and PAT margin improved from 9.61% to 12.49%.
Working Capital Watch Point
Net working capital days increased to 68.62 days for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 24.17 days in FY2025. OCF / EBITDA also reduced to 35.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This may be seasonal or temporary, but investors should monitor receivables, inventory and cash conversion.
Employee Strength and Field Force Importance
As of June 30, 2025, Corona Remedies had 4,573 permanent employees. Its workforce is a critical factor in maintaining quality, safety, operational excellence and prescription-led sales.
| Function |
Number of Employees |
| Corporate | 223 |

| Operations | 144 |
| Quality | 220 |
| R&D | 103 |
| Sales & Marketing | 3,589 |
| Total | 4,573 |
IPORupee View: This is a very important point. Out of 4,573 permanent employees, 3,589 employees are in Sales & Marketing. This clearly shows that Corona Remedies is a prescription-driven branded pharma company. The medical representative field force is the bridge between the company and doctors.
Intellectual Property and Brand Protection
The company relies on trademarks, trade secrets, know-how and confidentiality agreements to strengthen its competitive position.
