Dr Reddy&#8217;s Laboratories and Cipla both offer similar below-industry discounts with reasonable profitability. Tech Mahindra trades at a richer multiple, and Britannia Industries posts the strongest return on equity by far, though its valuation already prices in much of that

It stands out with a price-to-earnings ratio of just 12.29 against an industry average of 17.66, alongside a return on equity of 14.99% and a dividend yield above 7%.
