NEW DELHI, Feb 17:  Shares of Cadila Healthcare surged another 7 per cent today after the company said the US health regulator has inspected the firm’s Moraiya plant and found it in compliance with manufacturing norms.
The stock jumped 7.11 per cent to Rs 460 — its 52-week high — on BSE.
At NSE, shares of the company gained 7.27 per cent to touch a one-year high of Rs 460.75.
