The Indian share markets have opened the day in the red. The sectoral indices have opened mixed with consumer durables and software sector leading the losses. However, stocks in the capital goods and energy sector have opened on a firm note.

The Sensex today is down by around 52 points (0.2%), while the NSE-Nifty is down by around 16 points (0.2%).

Pharma stocks have opened the day mainly in the red with Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd and Natco Pharma Ltd leading the losses. As per a leading financial daily, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries' subsidiary Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories has started recalling some batches of Venlafaxine Hydrochloride extended-release tablets from the US market. Venlafaxine Hydrochloride extended-release tablets are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder. According per the USFDA notification, the recall of 26,530 units of 30-count bottles and 14,597 units of 90-count bottles is voluntarily initiated by the company through a letter to the regulator last month under 'Class-II' classification.
