By contrast, drug makers Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Cipla have not priced in enough of the potential impact from the government’s move to more closely regulate drug pricing.

“The current despair” over governmental and institutional decision making has led to “irrational fears” and/or “stocks being pummelled multiple times for the same news,” Standard Chartered.
