Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd’s revenue from operations for the April-June period beat the expectations of the street to 9.4% year-on-year to £ 13.851. However, the drug maker’s net profit fell on extraordinary items, including settlement costs in a price of antitrust litigation in the US and the cessation of clinical studies on one of his medicine. The company achieved a net profit of £ 2.279 crore in Q1FY26, 20% lower than a year earlier.
