In the morning, Ranbaxy announced its voluntary decision to suspend shipments of all pharmaceutical ingredients from its Tonsa and Dewas plants.
"This voluntary decision was taken as a precautionary measure and out of abundant caution to better allow the company to assess and review the processes and controls. The company will resume shipments after reassuring them about the processes and controls at these facilities," it said in a filing.
Domestic brokerage firm Angel Broking said that since the company has voluntarily withdrawn its production, "we believe that the company would have made alternative arrangements for the production of the withdrawn APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients)".
