During the second wave of COVID-19, stocks of pharmaceutical, oxygen and other companies involved in tackling COVID-19 have been in focus. But today, there may be some pharmaceutical stocks that may draw more attention of investors.
Given is the list of stocks:
Cipla and Jubilant Life Sciences: Both these stocks may buzz when the market opens today. This is because the Karnataka government on Tuesday served notices to pharmaceutical majors Cipla and Jubilant warning them of legal proceedings for not supplying adequate quantities of Remdesivir injection bottles as directed by the Government of India. In a notice to the pharmaceutical companies, the Principal Secretary in the Revenue department N Manjunatha Prasad said they were ordered to deliver 62,000 vials of Remdesivir injection, but they supplied very less consignment. Cipla and Jubilant were ordered to supply 30,000 and 32,000 vials respectively by May 9. However, they supplied only 10,840 and 17,601 vials on May 8.
