BENGALURU (Reuters) - Indian biopharma company Biocon sold a 9.96% stake in its unit and contract research firm Syngene International through open market sale, it said in an exchange filing on Wednesday.
With the sale, the total promoter stake of Biocon in Syngene stands at 54.6%, the exchange filing showed.
