Sun Pharma Ordered to Halt Eye-Care Drug Production at Assam Plant Over Quality Issues
Indian drug regulators ordered Sun Pharmaceutical Industries to halt manufacturing, selling, and distribution of ophthalmic products at its Assam facility due to failures in the quality management system. This followed a joint federal-state inspection and Sun Pharma's voluntary recall of 332 batches across about 11 eye-care brands. The shutdown remains until the company submits a satisfactory compliance report. The move reflects increased scrutiny of drug quality standards in India amid past safety concerns involving locally made medicines.
