Medplus Health Services' share price experienced marginal decline early on February 16 following the suspension of a subsidiary's drug license for a Mumbai store. At the time of writing, Medplus Health Services was trading at ₹668.95, marking a 4.99% increase on the BSE.

The Thane Food and Drug Administration imposed a 15-day suspension on the drug license for the Khopat Thane store due to violations of various conditions.

In January, the company faced license suspension orders for six days for a store in Shankarayapally Jadcherla and seven days for a store in Hayath Nagar, both issued by the assistant director and drug sales licensing authority of the Drug Control Administration, Mahabubnagar TS.

In December, one of the subsidiary companies received similar orders from the assistant director and drug sales licensing authority and drug control authorities at various locations.
