Strides Pharma biotech division gets CDSCO nod to manufacture, export Sputnik Light
Bengaluru: Stelis Biopharma Limited, the biotech division of Strides Pharma Science Limited, has commissioned its large-scale fully integrated vaccine manufacturing facility at Bengaluru, India.
The facility was successfully inspected by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). Stelis has also received an initial Export No Objection Certificate (NOC) from CDSCO to export up to 50 million doses of the Sputnik Light vaccine.

Stelis has now started manufacturing the Sputnik Light vaccine at a commercial scale, and as previously committed, the Company is on track to commercialize this vaccine for Global markets in Q4FY22.
Stelis' greenfield vaccine facility was built in a record time of less than 200 days with a best in class design and modularity to cater to several vaccine formats. It is also one of the largest viral vector manufacturing sites with a bespoke design for producing the Russian Sputnik Vaccine.
