Brief Summary  
This study is an Open Label, Multi-Center, Parallel, Three Arm, Comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fixed Dose Combination of Metformin ER, Glimepiride and Voglibose tablets in Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Patients will be screened for study eligibility based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Patients eligible for the study will be randomized to either FDC of Metformin hydrochloride ER 500mg + Glimepiride 1/2mg + Voglibose 0.2mg or FDC of Metformin hydrochloride ER 500mg + Voglibose 0.2/0.3mg or FDC Metformin hydrochloride ER 500mg+ Glimepiride 1/2mg based on the randomization schedule. All patients will receive study drug twice daily, orally before major meals for the duration of 24 weeks. All patients will be followed up for 24 weeks for efficacy and safety assessments. The study is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months after dosing of the first patient.
