NEW DELHI: Pharma firm Granules India has received Establishment Inspection Report from the US health regulator for the inspection done at the company's Jeedimetla plant in Telangana.

"The company has received the Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) from United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for the inspection conducted at its Jeedimetla facility in December 2015," Granules India said in a filing to the BSE.

The USFDA acknowledged receipt of responses sent on January 7 and March 28, 2016 on the observations issued by the FDA for the facility, it added.

"The USFDA closed the matter and issued the EIR for the Jeedimetla facility...," Granules India said.
