Global private equity firm Warburg Pincus has acquired a 32 percent stake in India-based Laurus Labs, a developer and manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, for INR5.5 Billion (approximately US$90 million).

FGPI and Fidelity Biosciences have reportedly partially exited their stakes in this transaction.
