Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson, Biocon, said: ”2020 has been one of the most challenging years for the world with an unprecedented pandemic impact on the global economy. We continue to face headwinds across operational, regulatory and commercial functions which have been deterrents to our planned market expansion.

However, we expect normalisation by next fiscal”. Shares of Biocon Ltd were trading 8.44 percent lower at Rs 404.64 apiece on the BSE.
