1. During the quarter, the management has recognized an impairment loss of ₹. 176Cr in relation to intangible assets under development. Based on a reassessment incorporating changes in market conditions and updated commercial viability estimates, management concluded that the probable future economic benefits from the asset are no longer expected to be adequate to justify further capital deployment.  Accordingly, the carrying amount has been written down in full.

Key Highlights

Revenue – Growth was impacted by inventory destocking, slower early-stage order inflows in H1FY26, and softer traction in inhalation anesthesia across ex‑US markets. Adjusted for inventory destocking, we delivered YoY growth in Q4 and FY26.EBITDA Margin – Despite lower revenues, impact on EBITDA was partly offset by our efforts towards cost optimization and operational excellence.Capex – US$94Mn invested in FY26 across growth and maintenance projects. Lexington and Riverview expansions on track. Seeing good customer interest.Net Debt – No increase over FY25.

Nandini Piramal, Chairperson, Piramal Pharma Limited said, “FY26 was a transitional year, shaped by external disruptions and certain business-specific factors. Despite these challenges, we exited the year on a stronger note, with clear momentum across all our businesses. The meaningful recovery in biopharma funding seen from Sep’25,  is translating into good RFP momentum and healthy pick up in order inflows in our  CDMO business. In the CHG business, the recently completed Kenalog® acquisition alongside ramp up of inhalation anesthesia sales in ex-US markets are expected to be key growth drivers. Our Consumer Healthcare business is also well positioned to sustain its growth momentum with margin improvement driven by Power Brands and rapid growth in e‑commerce.

Overall, all three businesses are well positioned to deliver growth in FY27, accompanied by accelerated growth in EBITDA and PAT.”

ATTACK SHARK Unveils R86 HE Carbon Fiber Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboard, Redefining the 75% Competitive Keyboard Experience

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK has announced the launch of the R86 HE Carbon Fiber Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboard, a flagship model designed to elevate expectations for high-end competitive gaming keyboards. Scheduled for release on 7 September 2026, the R86 HE is among the few magnetic switch keyboards to combine a 75% layout with a carbon fiber composite top case, bringing together advanced materials, precision magnetic switch technology, refined acoustics, and extensive customization.

As magnetic switch technology becomes a key driver of innovation in the gaming peripheral market, user expectations have expanded beyond speed alone. Today’s players are increasingly seeking a combination of performance, build quality, sound, and personalization. The R86 HE answers those demands with a carbon fiber composite structure, tournament-grade magnetic switch performance, and a Hi-Fi-inspired acoustic design, creating a new-generation 82-key gaming keyboard that balances competitive capability with everyday usability.

Carbon Fiber Construction Meets Practical 75% Layout

The R86 HE features a compact 82-key, 75% layout that retains dedicated arrow keys and essential functions while saving valuable desk space. Designed for both competitive gaming and everyday productivity, it delivers functionality without the bulk of larger keyboards.

Its premium design combines a carbon fiber composite top case with anodized CNC aluminum alloy side accents, creating a distinctive flagship look inspired by high-performance materials. The forged carbon texture offers exceptional rigidity and durability, while carbon fiber composite keycaps provide a crisp, consistent typing feel suited to fast-paced gaming.

0.005mm Rapid Trigger Accuracy for Competitive Play

In competitive FPS titles, a perfectly timed counter-strafe can be the difference between landing a decisive shot and missing a critical opportunity. The R86 HE’s 0.005mm Rapid Trigger Accuracy enables extremely precise key reset and actuation control, helping players transition seamlessly between movement and aiming. Combined with a custom esports chipset featuring 256K scanning and an 8000Hz polling rate, the keyboard achieves response times as low as 0.08ms, delivering the speed and consistency needed for fast-paced competitive gameplay.

Hi-Fi Acoustics for a Refined Typing Experience

Magnetic switch keyboards are often defined by speed, but the R86 HE goes beyond raw performance. A five-layer sound-dampening structure, comprising PE foam, IXPE switch pads, PET acoustic film, switch socket foam, and bottom silicone padding, helps reduce unwanted resonance for a cleaner, more refined typing sound. A premium fiberglass positioning plate enhances stability and feedback, while custom Huano Glass Jade magnetic switches balance ultra-fast responsiveness with a crisp, satisfying acoustic profile.

Built for Personalization

The R86 HE supports multiple high-performance magnetic switches and independent curve tuning, enabling personalized actuation settings for different gaming styles.

Full-key RGB lighting and dual-side dynamic light strips add visual impact, while web-based and PC software provide convenient access to key mapping, switch adjustments, and other customization options.

More than a high-performance gaming keyboard, the ATTACK SHARK R86 HE represents a fusion of advanced materials, acoustic engineering, and competitive-grade technology. By combining a unique 75% layout, carbon fiber flagship design, Hi-Fi acoustics, and 0.005mm Rapid Trigger Accuracy, it introduces a distinctive new option for users seeking both elite performance and premium craftsmanship.

Yaber Launches Cordless Vacuum HP20: TÜV-Tested 180AW Suction, SGS-certified H13 HEPA Filtration, and SenseCleanAI AI Detection Under $200

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yaber announced the launch of the Yaber HP20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, redefining what budget–conscious consumers can expect, featuring TÜV–certified true 180AW suction, SGS–verified H13 HEPA filtration, and SenseClean AI that automatically adjusts power based on real-time debris detection.

TÜV–tested 180AW Suction Powerful Performance from Floor to Carpet

Compared to other low-aw vacuums, The HP20 delivers genuine TÜV–tested 180AW suction – a rarity in this price bracket. Its stiff–bristle roller brush effectively loosens embedded dirt from carpets and floors, while the powerful airflow lifts even stubborn debris, leaving surfaces spotless. Unlike ordinary vacuums, the HP20’s cyclone technology ensures consistent, fade–free performance from start to finish – so you never have to worry about weakening pickup halfway through cleaning.

SGS-certified H13 HEPA Filtration for Healthier Homes

Beyond visible dirt, the HP20 features a sealed 5–stage filtration system with H13 HEPA media, certified by SGS to capture 99.97% of microscopic particles, including fine dust, pollen, and pet dander under lab conditions. An anti–backflow design prevents contaminants from escaping back into the air – making it a top choice for families with children, pets, or allergy–sensitive members.

Auto-Suction Based on Dust Level by SenseClean AI Technology

No more manual mode switching. Equipped with Yaber’s SenseClean AI technology, the HP20 scans the floor thousands of times per second to detect dust levels in real time. It then automatically adjusts suction power – high for heavy messes, low for light dust – optimizing cleaning efficiency while maximizing battery life, so you clean smarter, not harder.

Visible Cleaning with Green LED Light and Versatile Attachments

To help users clean areas often overlooked, the HP20 incorporates a green LED dust detection light, revealing hidden dust, pet hair, and fine particles that ordinary lighting may miss.

Combined with an adjustable extension tube and multiple cleaning accessories, the HP20 easily converts into a handheld cleaner for stairs, furniture, sofas, car interiors, corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach spaces.

Pricing and Availability

The Yaber HP20 is now live on Amazon’s official Yaber store:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0H2LWWYCX?maas=maas_adg_2F3844CE879126CA012EB35527CF1C50_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas&th=1. For a limited time, apply code HP20PANPR at checkout to enjoy the exclusive launch price of $139.99. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience premium cleaning performance at an exceptional value.
