Granules India Ltd. announced that the USFDA has issued an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) for Granules Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granules India Ltd. in Chantilly, Virginia. The report was issued after a Pre-Approval Inspection (PAI) held in June 2025.
The inspection was performed as a result of Granules’ first-to-file Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for a controlled substance, which is the company’s path-breaking move in its expansion of the U.S. pharmaceutical market.
As part of the PAI, the USFDA identified only one observation in the Granules response. After it was contacted by the Granules team, the observation was resolved. This finding's resolution evidences the company's compliance framework, manufacturing operations, and their commitment to regulatory standards of the US market.
The commendable check by USFDA is a prerequisite for the controlled substance ANDA first-to-file with final approval, and thus enhancing the company's presence in these regulated markets aligns with the secured strategy.
