The company said its on-going manufacturing, distribution and sale of products would not be affected by the warning letter, and it plans to respond to the drug regulator on or before March 15.
Shares in Jubilant Life Sciences, which has a market value of about $548.5 million, fell 4.25 percent to 178 rupees. They earlier touched a low of 173 rupees. The Sensex was up 0.67 percent.
