It's `Europe calling', for Indian pharma and biotech companies, especially from Hyderabad. In just about a year, half a dozen companies have either acquired companies, forged license agreements or been acquired.

The big ticket acquisition of Betapharm - Germany's fourth largest generic pharma company, by  Dr Reddy's Laboratories  in February for Rs 2,250 crore, seems to have set the ball rolling.

Matrix Laboratories Ltd , was recently acquired by the Mylan Group of the US, Aurobindo Pharma Ltd and Granules India Ltd have been the leading players in making big forays into Europe.

Biotechnology firms - Ocimum Biosolutions, Shantha Biotechnics and Bharat Biotech International Ltd - have also been in the spotlight.
