Aurobindo Pharma on Friday informed exchanges that a minor fire broke out at its Unit IV facility of APL Healthcare Limited, located in the Naidupeta SEZ, Andhra Pradesh, on September 18, 2025, at around 8:50 AM.
According to the company’s filing, the fire originated in the Granulation Area-10 due to a short circuit and spread to a panel, also causing partial damage to Granulation Area-8.
