Why were SMS Lifesciences India shares buzzing in trade? 

The buying on the counter came after the company received an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) with a Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) status for its Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing facility (Unit 1) located at Kazipally, Telangana. 
 
EIR is an official document issued by regulatory authorities following an inspection of a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. The document summarises the findings from an inspection of a pharmaceutical company’s facility, often focusing on compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and other regulatory requirements.
 
VIA indicates that the facility has been inspected and certain issues or observations were noted, but these are not significant enough to require immediate regulatory action or enforcement.
 
"We are pleased to inform that the company has received Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) with a Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for our API manufacturing facility (Unit 1) located at Kazipally, Telangana, on July 15, 2025 at 09.37 PM," the filing read.
