By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 20, 2025, 22:14 IST Shares of Ajanta Pharma Ltd. declined nearly 3% on Tuesday, August 19, after reports surfaced of Income Tax department raids at the company's premises. Business Upturn first reported the development, triggering investor concerns and a knee-jerk reaction in the stock.
