 "Wockhardt's Ankaleshwar facility gets clearance from German regulator")
Drug firm Wockhardt on Thursday said German regulator has issued European Union Good Manufacturing Practice certificate to the company's Ankaleshwar facility in Gujarat.
"The competent authority, Berlin, Germany has since issued Certificate confirming that company's manufacturing facility at 138, GIDC Estate, Ankaleshwar, Gujarat, complies with the principles and guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practices," Wockhardt said in a filing to BSE.
The certificate issued in this regard is valid for three years, it added.
The nod from the German regulator comes after the issuance of a warning letter by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) to the company for violating current good manufacturing practice norms, including its failure to ensure proper clothing for workers at its Ankleshwar plant.
Shares of Wockhardt today closed at Rs 673.30 per scrip on BSE, up 1.25 per cent from its previous close.
