Indian pharma tycoon loses US$14bil in two years


MUMBAI: Dilip Shanghvi’s shrinking fortune has become one of the most visible casualties of the troubles hitting India’s generic drug industry. Once India’s richest person, he recently slipped to No. 6 with his fortune dropping US$14.1bil from its peak of about two years ago.

The founder and head of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd has seen his net worth fall to US$11.1bil on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as shares of India’s largest drug maker tumbled 56% from its all-time high in April 2015.
