Sun Pharma to pump in Rs 200 crore more in its Assam plant

Sun Pharma plans to invest an additional Rs 200 crore at its plant in the state of Assam to augment operations. Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated a new production line at Sun Pharma’s facility in Palashbari. The company has already invested Rs 700 crore in this manufacturing facility in the state. The company has invested Rs 120 crore to set up this new production line, which will boost the capacity to manufacture liquid vials, injectables, eye drops, and tablets among others. The plant is expected to become one of the largest facilities in the next few years in the company’s network to manufacture sterile products.

The facility is equipped with automated machines for granulation, tablet compression, capsule filling, eye drops, vial and ampule filling, coating, and packing. Sun Pharma claims that the unit operates under Zero Discharge norms, meaning the treated effluents are 100 percent recycled within the site for gardening, cooling towers, and toilet flushing system. As part of its CSR commitment to improve the health of rural communities, Sun Pharma will shortly start a mobile medical unit in Guwahati to provide free medicines, health check-ups, and counselling to around 40,000 people across 24 villages.
