Granules India may rise on licence for COVID-19 drug

BY A STAFF REPORTER:-

Shares of Granules India are likely to gain today as the company received a licence to make and market COVID-19 drug 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose, also known as 2-DG.


The drug, developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation in collaboration with Dr Reddy's Laboratories, has already received a nod from the Drug Controller General of India for emergency use.


The licence to market the COVID-19 drug will likely improve Granules India's revenue visibility. A few other companies, including Bajaj Healthcare, Shilpa Medicare and Laurus Labs have also signed the licensing agreement for the drug.


Shares of Granules India closed 0.3% lower at 343.80 rupees on Thursday.
