Indian drug maker Sun Pharmaceutical surged as much as 3% in morning trade on 11th April on BSE and NSE amid news that the company is likely to enter into a marketing tie up with US drug major Merck & Co.

Shares of Sun Pharma touched Rs 455.90, a jump of 3% over its previous closing price on the Bombay Stock Exchange on 11th April
