Infrastructure

From the very beginning Shantha has invested in building manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure to meet most stringent regulatory requirements for manufacturing of biologicals.

	•	The manufacturing suites have been designed to fulfill requirements of international regulatory guidelines for biologicals
	•	The designs have been vetted by International cGMP consultants and USFDA, as applicable
	•	Infrastructure is supported by utility blocks housing black utilities (chill water, cooling water, soft water, plant steam, etc.) and clean utilities (purified water WFI, pure steam, etc.) and other engineering services (Electrical power substation, UPS, Fire alarm system, Stand-by generator, etc.).
	•	Infrastructure is supported by cGMP Warehouse and Cold Rooms.
	•	Infrastructure is supported by cGLP Animal House.
	•	The process area layout has been evolved to meet uni-flow concept for material flow and personnel movement with the help of clean and return corridors connecting the process rooms.
	•	Separate areas for API manufacturing and fill and finish.
