The production blocks have multiple streams designed for the manufacturing and packaging of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Intermediates. Production Blocks are connected to the Clean Rooms which consist of Wet Milling, Drying (Fluid Bed Dryer [FBD], Tray Dryer [TD]), Roto Cone Vacuum Drier (RCVD), Milling, Blending, Packing, Quarantine and Finished Good Storage areas. Its design meets the clean room ISO 8 class 100,000 standards and positive pressures are maintained as required. The air supplied is filtered through 10m, 3m & 0.3m filters (HEPA) with minimum 30 air changes/hr.

 

A new intermediate production block for large volume products is under implementation. The site has a centralized Quality Control Laboratory which is equipped with modern testing instruments and equipments. The Quality Control Lab is also supported with a well equipped microbiological laboratory.

 

The site has a well planned utility system which ensures the regular supply of steam, electricity, filtered air, chilled water and purified water. The entire system is orderly placed to avoid cross contamination and mix-ups, and to meet the regulatory requirements.

 

The equipment installed allows a wide range of process variables in operation conforming to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements.

 

The Nashik site is successfully US-FDA inspected and WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 & OHSAS 18001:2007 certified.
