Mylan acquired the stake after Biocon completed its acquisition of the company’s holding in Biocon Biologics in January 2026 through a combination of a share swap and cash consideration. As part of the transaction, Mylan received a preferential allotment of Biocon shares, taking its stake in the company to more than 6%.
Sources said Mylan subsequently sold a small portion of its holding, reducing its stake to 5.64% as of the March shareholding pattern. The proposed block deal would further pare its investment in Biocon.
