Berlin: Europe’s second largest drug maker, Novartis AG, said it completed an open offer to raise its stake in its Indian unit, Novartis India Ltd, to 76.4%.

The increase had a value of about Rs370 crore and boosted the Basel-based company’s holding from 50.9%, Novartis said in an emailed statement.

Almost all large institutional investors and quasi- institutional shareholders participated in the offer, the company said.

The increased holding expands Novartis’ presence in a pharmaceutical market that may triple in size to $16 billion from 2005 to 2015, according to estimates by Deloitte Llp.
