Biocon shares traded higher in early deals after the company announced that it has received an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) with a Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) status from the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). The regulatory update supported investor sentiment, pushing the stock into positive territory during the morning session.
As of 9:46 am, Biocon shares were trading 1.96% higher at ₹399.95 on the exchanges.
In an exchange filing, the company said the EIR pertains to its Biocon Generics Inc facility located in Cranbury, New Jersey, United States. The inspection was conducted by the US FDA between October 6 and October 10, 2025, as part of a routine current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) assessment.
A VAI classification indicates that while the regulator may have observed certain issues during the inspection, these observations do not call for any enforcement action. The facility is permitted to continue normal operations, with the company expected to address the observations voluntarily within the stipulated timelines.
The development is significant for Biocon, given the importance of the US market to its generics business. US FDA inspection outcomes are closely monitored by investors, as adverse findings can lead to supply disruptions or delays in product approvals. The receipt of the EIR with VAI status eased such concerns and was seen as a positive regulatory outcome.
