Aurobindo Pharma Restarts Kakinada Penicillin-G Plant After Fire Disruption

Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. on Monday said its subsidiary Lyfius Pharma Pvt. Ltd. has resumed operations at its Penicillin-G manufacturing plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, after securing consent to operate from the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board.

The plant had been temporarily shut following a fire in the coal crusher area in April. While core operations remained unaffected, the company halted the unit as a precaution and replaced ancillary equipment. It had pegged the estimated loss from the incident at around ₹40 million.
