The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated the formulation manufacturing facility of Aurobindo Pharma's subsidiary, Eugia Pharma Specialities, located in Kolthur village, Ranga Reddy district, India, with an Official Action Indicated (OAI) classification. This classification was issued following an inspection that took place from February 16 to 27, 2026, during which the FDA noted four observations that prompted this regulatory action. The OAI classification signifies that the FDA recommends regulatory and/or administrative actions due to the issues identified during the inspection.
