The Indian stock market indices saw modest gains on Thursday as worries about European sovereign debt eased. The Sensex and Nifty closed with gains of 0.9% and 0.8% respectively, while mid and small cap indices underperformed. Selected pharma, auto and metal stocks rose, while IT and banking stocks declined slightly. Sun Pharma received FDA approval for a generic drug and Bajaj Hindusthan announced plans to merge a subsidiary. Analysts believe the market may see further gains if indices remain above certain support levels early in the trading session.

2. Market Outlook | India Research
Sun Pharma receives approval for generic Keppra
Sun Pharma has announced that it has received US FDA approval for generic version of
Keppra (Levetiracetam) injection and plans to launch it shortly. The injection clocked
annual sales of US$ 85mn in CY2009 in the US. Currently, the product has limited
competition as only three players (including Sun Pharma) are present in the market.
However, market size is insignificant and given genericisation of the product other players
could also enter the market. The stock is currently trading at 23.6x FY2011E and 19.9x
FY2012E Earnings. We maintain Neutral on the stock.
Bajaj Hindusthan to merge 75% subsidiary
Bajaj Hindusthan (BJH) has announced merger of its 75% subsidiary, Bajaj Hindusthan
Sugar and Industries (BHSIL), with itself. The swap ratio is decided at 1 share of BJH for
every 5 share of BHSIL. We expect the merger, which has long been overdue, to result in
operational synergies with both companies being in the same line of business. We
maintain our Neutral recommendation on the stock.
