Wockhardt Ltd. has seen its shares jumps over 18% following the US Food and Drug Administration's acceptance of its New Drug Application for Zaynich, a novel antibiotic.
This development signifies a significant achievement for the Indian pharmaceutical industry, marking the first time an Indian company has had an NDA for a New Chemical Entity accepted by the US FDA.
On December 1, 2025, Wockhardt announced that the US FDA had formally accepted its NDA for Zaynich, a groundbreaking antibiotic aimed at combating resistant bacterial infections. The application, submitted on September 30, represents a historic moment for Indian pharma, traditionally known for generics, as it steps into innovative drug discovery.
