Mumbai: Cadila Healthcare said on Monday its manufacturing unit in Himachal Pradesh has received US Food and Drug Administration’s (U.S. FDA) approval and would commence supplies to the world’s top drug market.
Shares of Cadila Healthcare, part of the Zydus Cadila group that also runs Zydus Wellness , rose over 2% after the announcement.
The plant located at Baddi town was set up in 2004 and manufactures oral solid dosage forms which include hard gelatin capsules and tablets, the Ahmedabad-based drugmaker said in a statement.
