Indian drugmaker Strides Arcolab yesterday said that its subsidiary, Agila Specialties (Malaysia) has signed an agreement with local firm Bio-XCell Sdn Bhd to set-up biopharmaceuticals and sterile injectables manufacturing unit in a biotechnology park in Malaysia, according to several Indian press reports. The financial terms of the accord were yet to be disclosed.
