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.

Officials at Syngene and Biocon did not immediately respond to a Reuters query seeking the reason for the stake sale and the price at which the sale was executed.

The selling price would be in the range of 560 rupees and 562.30 rupees per share, the report said.
Biocon Biologics had in February 2022 said it would buy the U.S. drug maker's biosimilars business in a deal valued at $3.34 billion.
