The capex for the downstream foray would aid its converter model and offer better RoCEs — which is a positive.

Blackstone will have to get creative and spin-off businesses to unlock meaningful value.
Torrent has a fairly complementary portfolio with leadership. For Torrent, we believe that the portfolio overlap is manageable.
For Torrent, funding this acquisition will require 20- 25% promoter stake dilution + a consortium of PE + debt.
Both Cipla and Torrent are cash-generating businesses and large debt should not raise many 18 eyebrows.

JPMorgan maintained a neutral rating on Maruti Suzuki with a target price of Rs 8800.
Placing Maruti on a positive catalyst watch.
