US FDA uncovers faults at Aurobindo Pharma’s Anakapalli facility; shares fall
Live MintAurobindo Pharma share price fell over a percent on Friday after reports that US Food and Drug Administration officials found multiple faults at a plant run by the drugmaker. The auditors have uncovered “deficient” manufacturing equipment cleaning and storage controls during a visit last month to the company's facility in Anakapalli, eastern India, according to a FDA report obtained by Bloomberg News through a Freedom of Information Act request. Aurobindo Pharma had last month said the FDA recorded “procedural” observations following the inspection of its factory in Anakapalli in May. In a separate filing on June 29, Aurobindo Pharma said Auro PR Inc, its step-down wholly owned subsidiary based at Caguas, Puerto Rico, was undertaking a restructuring of its facility to enhance production volume, after completion of commitment for product supply to third party by early July 2023.
