    Board approves Rs 13.75 cr sale of idle Indore land and building to raise cash and strengthen balance sheet.

    Zenith Drugs board on October 13, 2026 approved sale of its 5-hectare land and building at Plot UD-7, Industrial Park, Mohana, Indore for Rs 13.75 crore to ACE Engineering & Chemicals Private Limited, a non-promoter buyer. The company said the property contributes 0% of turnover and is about 18.57% of net worth, with sale deed by October 20 and completion and payment by November 20, 2026. The cash inflow from this idle asset should help reduce its Rs 55 crore borrowings and interest burden with no impact on sales.

    Wins 2-year Haryana government cough-syrup supply contract at Rs 11.15 per bottle, a small revenue add.

The accepted rate is Rs 11.15 per bottle inclusive of taxes, with no fixed quantity or total value disclosed. It is a small rate-contract win that should add modest revenue over the next 12 months with thin government-tender margins.
