Notably, the country's pharma sector too is reeling under slowdown and registered slowest growth in 5 years time in the quarter ended June.

EBITDA of the company climbed 13.7% to Rs. 1696 crore while its operating margin narrowed down to 23%, with a decline of 50 basis point of 0.5%.
Shares of Sun Pharma closed 3.71% higher at Rs. 437.55 despite a 1.66% fall in the benchmark Sensex.
