This is in reponse to the 'import alert' that the company has received from the USFDA on one of its manufacturing unit located in Waluj near Aurangabad. The impact of the import alert on the revenues is estimated to be in the range of US$ 100 m on an annualised basis. It is also important to note that the said facility is the only injectable plant where the company holds USFDA approval. As on date, the company holds approval of approximately 30-35 injectables. The company's management has clarified that it is taking all steps to address the concerns raised by USFDA and shall put all efforts to resolve the issue at the earliest.
