Multibagger small-cap stock under ₹200 hits lifetime high; gives almost 4000% returns in five years
Shares of small-cap healthcare company Aayush Wellness continued their relentless rally on Tuesday, touching a new lifetime high of ₹ 173.30. Trading under ₹ 200, the stock has delivered a staggering 3,830 percent return over the past five years, transforming a ₹ 1 lakh investment made in June 2020 into over ₹ 39 lakh.
Backed by aggressive growth strategies, technological expansion, and shareholder-friendly corporate actions, the stock has become one of the most talked-about multibaggers in the small-cap space. Formerly known as Aayush Food and Herbs Ltd, the company rebranded to Aayush Wellness Ltd in July 2024 to reflect its renewed focus on preventive and herbal healthcare.
From ₹ 4.4 in June 2020, the scrip has given multibagger returns surging to ₹ 173.30 as of June 18, 2025, gaining nearly 4,000 percent in five years. Over the past one year alone, the stock has jumped 830 percent, and it is up 931 percent from its 52-week low of ₹ 16.81 touched in July 2024.
The meteoric rise has been fueled by uninterrupted upper circuits over the past one month and continuous gains since March 27, 2025. After a 15 percent decline in March, the smallcap-stock" data-vars-page-type="story" data-vars-link-type="Manual">smallcap stock rebounded strongly—gaining 9.5 percent in February, 58 percent in April, and 15 percent in the first 10 days of May.
A key driver behind Aayush Wellness' surge has been its strategic diversification into healthcare services. On April 26, the company announced its entry into tech-enabled wellness delivery through smart health kiosks and medical support centers. The initiative aligns with the government's E-Sanjeevani telemedicine vision and seeks to bridge the healthcare access gap in semi-urban and rural areas.
The company's newly introduced health ATMs can conduct diagnostic tests in just 2–3 minutes, maintain digital health records, and offer real-time doctor consultations. The first center was inaugurated in Virar, Maharashtra, and the company has earmarked ₹ 25 crore for Phase 1 of this expansion. Future funding will depend on performance and demand traction.
This offline network complements Aayush's established presence in the nutraceutical and herbal supplement space. The brand offers beauty and sleep-enhancing gummies, functional foods, and tobacco-free wellness alternatives aimed at both urban and rural markets.
To further bolster liquidity and investor participation, the company undertook a 1:10 stock split in August 2024, followed by a 1:2 bonus issue in December. These measures widened the shareholder base and helped sustain the stock's upward momentum.
The rebranding in July 2024—from a food-focused legacy company to a wellness-driven enterprise—marked a strategic inflection point. Headquartered in New Delhi and established in 1984, Aayush Wellness is now positioning itself as a one-stop solution for preventive, herbal, and tech-enabled health products and services.

FM to review backlog of income tax disputes on Monday, to push for early resolution
New Delhi: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman will on Monday review the backlog of income tax disputes and explore ways of cutting down their pendency at a meeting with senior field officers, two persons informed about the development said, outlining efforts to make tax governance more efficient. The minister will also lead discussions on how to speed up tax refunds further and improve services to the taxpayer while enhancing the tax system's accountability, said one of the persons quoted above. Filed officers will also be asked to explain the average disposal time of grievances. The move is part of efforts to improve the ease of living and ease of doing business, which will complement the broader efforts at reforms and de-regulation. Sitharaman's meeting with Principal Chief Commissioners and other senior officials of the Income Tax Department aims to improve litigation management. The minister will review age-wise pendency of appeals and push for faster disposal of legacy cases, the person said. Issues related to tax refunds including those held up due to non-processing of tax returns under the automatic assessment process and cases where rectification of tax returns for issues like clerical error are impacted due to IT system-related problems will receive attention at the meeting, said the person. Field officers are expected to present data to the minister on pending taxpayer requests and grievances, their average disposal time and unresolved grievances in the department's online system e-Nivaran. The finance minister is likely to question the tax administration's zones with vigilance cases pending beyond permissible timelines and disciplinary matters pending for months, the person said. The minister will examine the best practices adopted by select regions and reiterate the need for a 'taxpayer-centric, tech-enabled, and transparent ecosystem across the Income Tax department,' added the person. Tax experts said the focus should be on setting up a robust framework to address the backlog of cases at the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) level. 'Introducing specified time limits for disposal of appeals is long overdue, and this would ensure greater accountability within the department and reinforce certainty for taxpayers,' said Amit Maheshwari, tax partner at AKM Global, a tax and consulting firm. 'Additionally, the present requirement of a 20% pre-deposit in high-pitched assessments should be reconsidered to ease the financial stress on taxpayers. The refund mechanism needs more transparency, and the grievance redressal system must be made significantly more responsive and efficient,' added Maheshwari. At a meeting in the capital with senior officials last week, Sitharaman reviewed the performance of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) and urged swift closure of investigations, speedier tax refunds, and easier goods and services tax (GST) registration, Mint reported on Friday. The minister then asked the principal chief commissioners, chief commissioners, and director generals of CBIC to enhance performance, fill vacant posts, and enhance administrative efficiency. Queries emailed to the finance ministry on Friday seeking comments for the story remained unanswered at the time of publishing.

Rare blood types hard to find? New ICMR registry could change that
New Delhi: The National Institute of Immunohaematology in Mumbai under the India Council of Medical Research has for the first time created a national 'rare blood donor registry' for patients with rare and uncommon blood types who need frequent transfusion especially in conditions such as thalassemia and sickle cell disease. The ICMR-NIIH is now in talks with the Director General of Health Services (DGHS) so that the rare donor registry portal can be integrated with e-Raktakosh, a platform which currently provides information about blood availability, Dr Manisha Madkaikar, Director of ICMR-Centre for Research Management and Control of Haemoglobinopathies (CRHCM) in Nagpur said. The integration will help people with rare blood groups easily trace blood banks and procure blood. It will also assist the blood banks manage their stock and donors through a centralised system. India, with a population of more than 142 crore, has over 4,000 licensed blood banks, according to the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). India relies heavily on transfusions due to a higher prevalence of blood diseases and complications during pregnancy, Dr Madkaikar said. "Thalassemia itself contributes to 1 to 1.5 lakh patients who require recurrent transfusions," she said. Additionally, with more than 1,200 road accidents occurring every day in India, and with every year 60 million surgeries, 240 million major operations, 331 million cancer-related procedures, and 10 million pregnancy complications, a serious call for blood transfusion is recognised, she said. In majority of blood banks in India , only ABO and RhD are antigens matched prior to cross-matching for issuing of red blood cell components. However, the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) has recognised more than 360 antigens in 47 blood group systems. Blood banks do not perform testing of these minor blood group antigens routinely, explained Dr Madkaikar. "As a result, a mismatch of minor antigens between donor and patient blood group (BG) profiles can lead to red cell alloimmunization (1-3 per cent in the general population, 8-18 per cent in thalassaemic patients). About 25 per cent of all immunized patients have been reported to receive unsatisfactory transfusion support due to presence of multiple antibodies or antibodies to high frequency antigens (HFA)," she said. Rare blood groups are those which lack HFA (1:1000 or less), or are negative for a combination of common antigens, or have a null phenotype. "Meeting a demand for rare blood supply is challenging and time consuming for such patients. The need of a patient for rare blood can be the start of a series of events that may extend beyond the local blood centre and become a national or even an international search," Dr Madkaikar said. To overcome this challenge, an inventory of extensively typed blood donors and rare blood type donors is required, she said. For this, internationally 27 countries have operational national rare donor registry programmes. India, however, is not a contributor country, she said. In 2019, however, ICMR -NIIH was granted Centre of Excellence project under the aegis of ICMR, where an initiative was taken to screen 4,000 'O' group regular blood donors for all clinically important antigens using high throughput molecular assays, from four different regions of India in collaboration with the big blood banks from KEM Hospital Mumbai, PGIMER Chandigarh, MCH Kolkatta and JIPMER Puducherry. "More than 600 donors negative for combination of antigens were identified along with 250 very rare blood group donors. The registry also includes 170 Bombay blood group donors, which is the commonly required rare blood type in India (approx 120-150 units/year). To access this inventory (ICMR-Rare Donor Registry of India (RDRI)), a web-based portal has been developed for systematic requisition and provision of blood to patients on time," Dr Madkaikar said. "There is a plan to integrate this rare donor registry with e-Raktakosh of DGHS so that all the blood banks can contribute their rare donors and help in expansion of the registry. Last month we held a meeting with the DGHS," she said.
