Dr Lal PathLabs shares decline 2% as Amazon enters diagnostics segment with doorstep lab tests
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 23, 2025, 09:15 IST
Shares of Dr Lal PathLabs fell over 2% to Rs 2,849.00 on Monday after Amazon India announced the launch of its diagnostics service in collaboration with Orange Health Labs. The new offering is expected to intensify competition in the organised diagnostics and pathology services space.
Amazon Diagnostics, rolled out under the newly consolidated Amazon Medical umbrella, will provide customers across major cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, and Hyderabad with access to over 800 diagnostic tests and doorstep sample collection within 60 minutes. This aggressive entry could potentially disrupt pricing and margins for existing players like Dr Lal PathLabs and Metropolis Healthcare.
Despite the stock's dip today, Dr Lal PathLabs recently reported strong Q4 FY25 earnings. Net profit surged 81.4% YoY to Rs 155 crore, with PAT margin improving to 25.8%. Revenue rose 10.5% YoY to Rs 603 crore, driven by increased testing volumes and operational efficiency.
However, the market reaction suggests concerns about long-term competitive pressure from tech giants like Amazon entering the healthcare segment with integrated services and scale advantages.

Adani Enterprises commissions India's first 5 MW off-grid green hydrogen pilot plant
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 23, 2025, 12:03 IST Shares of Adani Enterprises are expected to be in focus following the company's latest announcement that it has successfully commissioned India's first 5 MW off-grid green hydrogen pilot plant. The development was confirmed via a press release dated June 23, 2025. The project, located in Kutch, Gujarat, is powered entirely by solar energy and is integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), allowing it to function independently from the power grid. Operated through a fully automated closed-loop electrolyzer system, the plant is designed to dynamically adapt to real-time renewable energy inputs, setting a new benchmark for renewable-powered industrial applications of green hydrogen. This initiative by Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, is aligned with the Government of India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and is aimed at decarbonizing emissions-intensive sectors like fertilisers, refining, and heavy transport. The pilot plant also serves as a precursor to ANIL's larger Green Hydrogen Hub planned in Mundra, Gujarat, and reinforces Adani's commitment to energy transition and sustainable innovation. This milestone could provide a fresh boost to Adani Enterprises' green energy credentials and investor sentiment in the clean-tech space.
