Two Observations, Zero Integrity Issues—Zydus Keeps Its Compliance Streak Alive

Zydus Lifesciences Ltd has successfully concluded a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) follow-up inspection by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) at its oncology injectable manufacturing facility located at SEZ 1, near Matoda, Ahmedabad. The inspection, which spanned 10 days from June 9 to June 18, ended with two minor observations, none of which were related to data integrity—a key compliance benchmark in global pharmaceutical audits.

 

Key Highlights:

 

- Inspection Timeline: Conducted from June 9 to June 18, 2025, the inspection focused on GMP compliance at the oncology injectable site.

- Observations Issued: The USFDA issued two observations, both considered minor and unrelated to data integrity, indicating a generally compliant facility.

- Company Response: Zydus has assured stakeholders that it will address the observations promptly and maintain close coordination with the USFDA to ensure full compliance.

- Regulatory Transparency: The update was shared in accordance with SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements, reinforcing Zydus’ commitment to regulatory transparency.

- Operational Significance: The Ahmedabad facility plays a critical role in Zydus’ oncology portfolio, supplying injectable therapies to regulated markets, including the US.

 

Outlook:

 

The smooth closure of the inspection with no major compliance issues is a positive signal for Zydus’ global operations, especially in the high-stakes oncology segment. It reinforces the company’s manufacturing credibility and supports its ongoing efforts to expand in regulated markets.
