Sensex gained on Wednesday, while the Nifty was marginally higher with gains made by the financial stocks. FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), oil and gas and realty stocks slipped in the red but the key finance and banking stocks gained.

Yes Bank on Tuesday said its two promoter groups -- Madhu Kapur Group and Rana Kapoor Group -- have agreed to nominate one representative director each on the Bank's Board.

Drug maker Strides Pharma Science Ltd on Tuesday said its Canadian subsidiary acquired 80% equity stake in Canada-based generics frim Pharamapar for $3 million (Rs21 crore). "The acquisition will enable us to build our operations, as the pharmaceutical market in Canada is estimated to be $21 billion with a major share of generics through retail pharmacies," said the city-based Strides in a statement here. The two-decades old $8-million Pharmapar specialises in generic medication to insured individuals in Canada. It is also a leading partner to Quebec pharmacies and covers about 1,000 pharmacies with access to 12 banners and 100 products. Quebec accounts for 25% of the Canadian generics market and is private. 

In a related development, the company's board has approved sale of its Australian business Strides Pharma Global to the Arrow-Apotex merged entity for Australian dollar 394 million ($281 million or Rs20 crore). "We will enter into a 10-year preferred supply agreement with the merged entity to result in potential annual Ebitda of Australian $15-20 million," said the company in a release.
