As per the financial daily, Hero Motorcorp's Haridwar plant continues to witness labour unrest. In August 2013, the workers at the Haridwar plant had stopped working to demand the reinstatement of a permanent employee who was suspended by the company. While the management resolved the issue, however it suspended 38 workers for being the part of the strike. Later, 11 of the suspended employees were taken back but 27 workers remain suspended, which is the root cause of the whole episode. While the state labour department is working on resolving the issue, the situation is still not under control. The Haridwar unit is Hero MotoCorp's largest facility and it produces best-selling bikes such as the Splendor and Passion. Labour incidents have become an increasing norm in the automobile industry. These include strikes at Bajaj Auto and Maruti Suzuki.

Most of the Indian Pharma stocks have opened the day on a positive note, with Orchid Chemicals and Wockhardt Ltd being the leading gainers in the pack. As per a leading financial daily, Hyderabad based Dr Reddy's Laboratories has got USFDA observations for its API plant in Srikakulam. Reportedly, these 483 observations pertain to procedural and other compliances of the plant systems. The company confirmed the development while stating that the observations given by the US regulator would not impact the normal activity of the plant in any way. Dr Reddy's has received nine observations from USFDA and is in process of implementing the necessary measures and the remedial plans. The US drug regulator team has also visited the Visakhapatnam manufacturing facility though the outcome of their inspection is yet to be known.
