"The explosion did not involve any chemical or chemical reaction. Other than the damage to two lab areas due to the force of the explosion, the front-glass panes of the building were broken. But there is no significant structural damage to the building. The damage to the equipment has not yet been estimated," says a company spokesperson.
The research centre was set up in 1993 and is approved by the department of science and technology. The centre has around 150 qualified scientists working on novel drug delivery systems and complex actives.
