USFDA Grants Voluntary Action Indicated Status to Cipla's Goa Facility After Inspection

This classification means no regulatory or enforcement action is planned as observations did not meet the threshold for such measures. Cipla operates globally with 46 manufacturing sites and reported a decline in net profit and revenue in Q4 FY26 compared to the previous year.
