Indian pharma and healthcare sector will witness steady revenue growth in the first quarter of the Financial Year 2026 (Q1FY26E), but concerns loom as EBITDA margins are expected to decline amid rising input costs and pricing pressures, according to a report by HDFC Securities. The report added that the pharma sector firms studied by it may witness a 11 per cent year-on-year (YoY) sales growth, driven by an 11 per cent YoY increase in the India business along with 2 per cent QoQ growth in US sales (+2 per cent YoY). The EBITDA, which stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, is a financial metric used to assess a company's profitability and operational efficiency. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 이 게임은 대부분의 TV 프로그램보다 더 재미있어요 – 게다가 무료예요.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: ‘Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but…'
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has shared a post on microblogging site X, announcing a delay in the launch of the company's upcoming open-weight AI model. The model was originally scheduled to launch next week. In the post, Altman said the teams needs more time to carry out safety tests and closely review areas that could pose risks. 'We planned to launch our open-weight model next are delaying it,' he wrote, adding 'we need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas…we are not yet sure how long it will take us.' OpenAI is planning to release the model with open weights, meaning developers and researchers will be able to download and use the AI system on their own. In his post, Altman stressed that once the model is out, it can not be taken back and hence makes it important to get everything right before release. He said 'while we trust the community will build great things with this model, once weights are out, they can't be pulled back. this is new for us and we want to get it right.' Altman continued: 'sorry to be the bearer of bad news; we are working super hard!'

These weights are the result of training a model on vast datasets and represent what the model has learned. Unlike models that run only on company servers, open-weight models can be used and modified directly by others. This makes them more flexible for developers, but also raises concerns about how the models might be misused. Lava Storm Play First Look: Best Budget Phone Under Rs 10,000?

CM Rekha Gupta launches drive to make Delhi overhead wire-free, says
New Delhi [India], July 12 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday inaugurated several developmental projects in Shalimar Bagh, including a pilot project to convert overhead wires into an underground power network. The inauguration took place at the Janata Flats area, where CM Gupta was joined by Delhi Minister Ashish Sood. Speaking to mediapersons, CM Gupta said the government aims to make the national capital free from overhead wires. 'Making overhead wires underground is a pilot project for Delhi. It is a vision and idea that our Delhi becomes overhead wire-free... I am happy that through this project, the government is working to provide a new facility to the people of Delhi... A time will come when not a single wire will be visible in Delhi,' CM Gupta said. She added, 'We used to always wonder why there's such a tangled mess of overhead wires--why can't they be underground? In these narrow, crowded lanes, there's always the fear of sparks. This is a gift for Delhi, for which we had allocated Rs 100 crore in the budget.' 'The streets here are so narrow that even two scooters cannot pass side by side at the same time. Now people will be able to look up and see the blue sky,' she further said. Minister Ashish Sood said the government is working to strengthen Delhi's power infrastructure and reduce hazards caused by overhead wiring. 'Under the leadership of the Chief Minister, there is an effort to make Delhi free from wires. The Delhi government had zero funds in the name of capital expenditure. We are gradually working to make Delhi's electricity infrastructure robust... With the blessings of Delhi's people, we will take this work forward,' Sood said. Meanwhile, CM Gupta also expressed concern over the waterlogging seen across several parts of the city on Thursday following heavy rainfall. She issued strict instructions to the officials of the concerned department to take effective steps to prevent waterlogging so that people of Delhi do not have to face problems during the monsoon season. According to a release, the Chief Minister expressed satisfaction that despite heavy rains, there was no waterlogging on Minto Road and ITO crossings this time. She told the officers that they will have to show similar efficiency in the entire Delhi. To find a solution to waterlogging and the problems arising from it, Chief Minister Gupta, along with PWD Minister Pravesh Verma, called a special meeting with top officials of PWD, the irrigation-flood control department and departments related to waterlogging and said that any kind of negligence will not be tolerated in the matter of waterlogging. CM Gupta said that the officials will have to take immediate and effective measures during the rains so that the problems arising from waterlogging can be controlled in time. She instructed to immediately and continuously check the drains built on the roadside, from which water flows out and eliminates waterlogging on the road. (ANI)
