In addition to historical information, this quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition to statements which are forward-looking by reason of context, the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, or “continue” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, risks relating to:

 

our business and operations in general, including: our ability to develop and commercialize additional pharmaceutical products; manufacturing, safety or quality control problems, which may damage our reputation for quality production and require costly remediation; interruptions in our supply chain; disruptions of our or third party information technology systems or breaches of our data security or other cyber-attacks; the failure to recruit or retain key personnel; significant sales to a limited number of customers in our U.S. market; and our ability to successfully undertake licensing opportunities;

 

our generics medicines business, including: consolidation of our customer base and commercial alliances among our customers; the increase in the number of competitors targeting generic opportunities and seeking U.S. market exclusivity for generic versions of significant products; price erosion relating to our generic products, both from competing products and increased regulation; delays in launches of new generic products; efforts of pharmaceutical companies to limit the use of generics including through legislation and regulations; the difficulty and expense of obtaining licenses to proprietary technologies; and returns, allowances and chargebacks;

 

compliance, regulatory and litigation matters, including: uncertainties regarding actual or potential legal proceedings; costs and delays resulting from the extensive governmental regulation to which we are subject; the effects of reforms in healthcare regulation and reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage; governmental investigations into selling and marketing practices; potential liability for patent infringement; product liability claims; increased government scrutiny of our patent settlement agreements; failure to comply with complex Medicare and Medicaid reporting and payment obligations; and environmental risk;

 

the effects of changes in U.S. tariffs or foreign trade laws, or retaliatory measures by other countries in response, including: increased business costs and impacts on supply chains; new operational challenges as we navigate a more complex business landscape; and business uncertainty that adversely affects macroeconomic conditions;

 

changes in U.S. laws or policies designed to facilitate most-favored-nation (“MFN”) pricing for prescription drugs;

 

current challenges associated with conducting business globally, including uncertainty regarding the conflicts in the middle east, and between Russia and Ukraine, its adverse effects or economic instability, major hostilities or terrorism;

 

other financial and economic risks, including: our exposure to currency fluctuations and restrictions as well as credit risks; potential impairments of our intangible assets; potential significant increases in tax liabilities; and the effect on our overall effective tax rate of the termination or expiration of governmental programs or tax benefits, or of a change in our business;

 

compliance matters, including lapses by our U.S. or overseas employees, third-party distributors or marketing and distribution agents in complying with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other worldwide anti-bribery laws, which could result in adverse consequences to us, including without limitation causing us to be subject to injunctions or limitations on future conduct, be required to modify our business practices and compliance programs and/or have a compliance monitor imposed on us, or suffer other criminal or civil penalties or adverse impacts, including lawsuits by private litigants or investigations and fines imposed by local authorities;

 

risks of reputational damage and other adverse effects in the event of inadequate performance and management of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) and climate change topics; and

 

those discussed in the sections titled “risk factors” and “operating and financial review and prospects” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and in the section titled “operating and financial review, trend information” in this quarterly report.

DR. REDDY’S LABORATORIES LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in millions, except share and per share data and where otherwise stated)

  

1.Reporting entity

The Company’s shares are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange, the NSE IFSC Limited in India and on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.

 

2.Basis of preparation of financial statements

 

a)Statement of compliance

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter referred to as the “interim financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. These interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 24, 2025.

 

b)Material accounting policies information

 

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

New Standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company effective from April 1, 2025

 

The Company applied for the first time the below amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

Amendments to IAS 21: Lack of exchangeability

 

In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking.

 

The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of an entity’s financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows.

 

This amendment had no material impact on these interim financial statements.

 

New Standards and Amendments not yet effective as on April 1, 2025

 

Certain new standards and amendments to standards are not yet effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025 and have not been applied in preparing these interim financial statements that could have potential impact on the interim financial statements of the Company are:

 

IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals.

(in millions, except share and per share data and where otherwise stated)

 

2.Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

 

b)Material accounting policies information (continued)

 

Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The first three categories are new. It also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes.

 

In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.

 

IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted, but will need to be disclosed.

 

The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 18 and other amendments on these interim financial statements.

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 for Classification and Measurement of financial instruments

 

On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, and IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, which:

 

·clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the 'settlement date' - i.e., the date when the related obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition. They also introduce an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date, if certain conditions are met;
·clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) linked features and other similar contingent features;
·clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments; and
·require additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event (including those that are ESG-linked), and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).

 

The amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, with an option to early adopt the amendments for contingent features only. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 on these interim financial statements.

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity

 

In December 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, to help companies better report the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts, which are often structured as power purchase agreements.

 

Nature-dependent electricity contracts help companies to secure their electricity supply from sources such as wind and solar power. The amount of electricity generated under these contracts can vary based on uncontrollable factors such as weather conditions. 

 

The amendments include:

 

·clarifying the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-scope contracts;
·permitting hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments; and
·adding new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows.

2.Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

 

b)Material accounting policies information (continued)

 

The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, but will need to be disclosed. The IFRS 7 disclosure amendments must be applied when the IFRS 9 amendments are applied. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 on these interim financial statements.

 

c)Basis of consolidation

 

Subsidiaries

 

These interim financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries as at September 30, 2025. Subsidiaries are all entities that are controlled by the parent company. Control exists when the parent company (i) has power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee), (ii) is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and (iii) has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.

 

The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these interim financial statements from the date when the Company obtains control and continues until the date that control ceases.

 

Changes in ownership interests:

 

Acquisition of some or all of the NCIs in an entity and changes in the interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as a transaction with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. Consequently, the difference arising between the fair value of the purchase consideration received and the carrying value of the NCI is recorded as an adjustment to Other reserves that is attributable to the parent company. The associated cash flows are classified as financing activities. No goodwill is recognized as a result of such transactions.

 

Profit, loss, and equity attributed to NCIs in subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated interim income statement, consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and consolidated interim statement of financial position, respectively.

 

d)Basis of measurement

 

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, except for the following material items in the statements of financial position which are measured on the basis stated below and in accordance with the respective accounting policies:

 

·derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;
·financial assets and financial liabilities are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost, depending on the classification based on accounting policy;
·long-term borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method;
·equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value on the grant date and the reporting date, respectively;
·assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of business combinations are measured at fair value on the acquisition date; and
·contingent consideration arising out of business combination are measured at fair value.

2.Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

 

e)Convenience translation

 

These interim financial statements have been prepared in Indian rupees. Solely for the convenience of the reader, these interim financial statements as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2025 have been translated into U.S. dollars at the certified foreign exchange rate of U.S.$1.00 = Rs.88.78, as published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on September 30, 2025. No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Such convenience translation is not subject to review by the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

f)Use of judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates implies that actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim financial statements, the judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025.

3.Segment reporting

 

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by operating segments. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit as the performance indicator for all of the operating segments and does not review the total assets and liabilities of an operating segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the CODM of the Company.

 

The Company’s reportable operating segments are as follows:

 

·Global Generics;

 

·Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”); and

 

·Others.

 

Global Generics. This segment consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing prescription and over-the-counter finished pharmaceutical products ready for consumption by the patient, marketed under a brand name (branded formulations) or as generic finished dosages with therapeutic equivalence to branded formulations (generics). This segment also includes the operations of the Company’s biologics business and the portfolio of consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category (the “NRT Business”).

 

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients. This segment primarily consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, also known as “API”, which are the principal ingredients for finished pharmaceutical products. Active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates become finished pharmaceutical products when the dosages are fixed in a form ready for human consumption such as a tablet, capsule or liquid using additional inactive ingredients. The Company also serves its customers with incremental value added products, including semi-finished and finished formulations, which are included in this segment. This segment also includes the Company’s pharmaceutical services business, which provides contract research services and manufactures and sells active pharmaceutical ingredients in accordance with the specific customer requirements.

 

Others. This segment consists of the Company’s other business operations, which includes the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aurigene Oncology Limited (“AOL”) (formerly Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited) and the Company’s Proprietary Products business. AOL is a discovery stage biotechnology company developing novel and best-in-class therapies in the fields of oncology and inflammation. AOL works with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies through customized models of drug-discovery collaborations. The Proprietary Products business focuses on the research and development of differentiated formulations and is expected to earn revenues arising out of monetization of such assets and subsequent royalties, if any.

 

The measurement of each segment’s revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Company’s interim financial statements.

*Rounded to the nearest million.

 

**Effective as of the record date of October 28, 2024, the Company implemented a sub-division/ stock split of each equity share having a face value of Rupees Five each, fully paid-up, into five equity shares having a face value of Rupees One each, fully paid-up (the “stock split”), by alteration of the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. Each American Depositary Share (“ADS”) of the Company continued to represent one underlying equity share and, therefore, the number of ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) holder consequently increased in proportion to the increase in number of equity shares.

 

(1)During the six months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended March 31, 2025, equity shares were issued as a result of the exercise of vested options granted to employees pursuant to the Dr. Reddy’s Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2002 and the Dr. Reddy’s Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2007. The options exercised had an exercise price of Rs.5, Rs.1,982, Rs.2,607, Rs.2,814, Rs.3,679 or Rs.5,301 (prior to the stock split) per share and Rs.1, Rs.521, Rs.736, Rs.781 or Rs.1,060 (after the stock split) per share.

14.Share capital (continued)

 

(2)Pursuant to the special resolution approved by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting held on July 27, 2018, the Dr. Reddy’s Employees ESOS Trust (the “ESOS Trust”) was formed to support the Dr. Reddy’s Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2018 by acquiring, from the Company or through secondary market acquisitions, equity shares which are used for issuance to eligible employees (as defined therein) upon exercise of stock options thereunder. During the six months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended March 31, 2025, the equity shares issued and their exercise prices were as follows:

 

Dr. Reddy’s Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2018  Options  Range of Exercise price
During the six months ended September 30, 2025  353,835  Rs.521 to Rs.1,060
During the year ended March 31, 2025  22,077 (prior to the stock split) and 54,800 (after the stock split)  Rs.2,607 to Rs.5,301 and Rs.521 to Rs.1,060

 

Upon the exercise of options, the amount of compensation cost (computed using the grant date fair value) previously recognized in the “share based payment reserve” was transferred to “share premium” in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity. In addition, any difference between the carrying amount of treasury shares and the consideration received was recognized in the “share premium”.

18.Income taxes

 

Income tax expense is recognized based on the Company’s best estimate of the average annual effective income tax rate for the fiscal year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The average annual effective income tax rate is determined for each taxing jurisdiction and applied individually to the interim period pre-tax income of each jurisdiction. The difference between the estimated average annual income tax rate and the enacted tax rate is accounted for by a number of factors, including the effect of differences between Indian and foreign tax rates, expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, income exempted from income taxes, and effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

 

   For the six months ended
September 30,
   For the three months ended
September 30,
 
   2025   2024   2025   2024 
Effective tax rate   24.2%   28.0%   22.2%   30.0%
Tax expense  Rs.9,033   Rs.10,653   Rs.4,082   Rs.5,752 
Tax expense/(benefit) recognized directly in the OCI  Rs.(237)  Rs.(10)  Rs.(269)  Rs.(16)

 

The Company’s effective tax rates for the six and three months ended September 30, 2025 were lower as compared to the six and three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in effective tax rates was primarily on account of:

 

·the reversal of a previously recognized deferred tax asset on indexation of land, consequent to amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act (No.2) 2024 to the Income Tax Act, 1961 in India for the period ended September 30, 2024, with no such reversal applicable for the period ended September 30, 2025; and

 

·a decrease in the proportion of the Company’s profits coming from higher tax jurisdictions and an increase in the proportion of profits from lower tax jurisdictions for the period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the period ended September 30, 2024.

 

Tax (benefits)/expenses recognized directly in the OCI primarily relates to tax effects on the changes in fair value of cash flow hedges.

20.Employee benefit plans

 

Gratuity benefits provided by the parent company

 

In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company has a defined benefit plan which provides for gratuity payments (the “Gratuity Plan”) and covers certain categories of employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum gratuity payment to eligible employees at retirement or termination of their employment. The amount of the payment is based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. Effective September 1, 1999, the Company established the Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Gratuity Fund (the “Gratuity Fund”) to fund the Gratuity Plan. Liabilities in respect of the Gratuity Plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes contributions to the Gratuity Fund. Trustees administer the contributions made to the Gratuity Fund. The liability/(asset) recorded by the parent company towards this obligation was Rs.(7) and Rs.524 as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company made contributions of Rs.507 and Rs.391 to the Gratuity Fund during the six months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Compensated absences

 

The Company provides for accumulation of compensated absences by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilized compensated absences and utilize them in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Company’s policy. The Company records a liability for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The total liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation was Rs.850 and Rs.939 as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Particulars  Grant Date  Number of
instruments(1)
   Exercise price(1)   Vesting period  Contractual life

DRL 2018 Plan  May 6, 2024   685,800   Rs.1,270   3 years  5 years

 

(1)After the October 2024 stock split (refer to Note 14 above for details), the number of equity shares issuable upon the exercise of each stock option vested and unvested, which are not exercised as on the record date (i.e., October 28, 2024) is sub-divided into five shares and the exercise price was proportionally adjusted.

 

The fair value of services received in return for stock options granted to employees is measured by reference to the fair value of stock options granted. The fair value of stock options has been measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model at the date of the grant. The expected term of an option (its “option life”) is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term.

 

The weighted average inputs used in computing the fair value of such grants were as follows:

 

   May 9, 2025   May 6, 2024   May 6, 2024 
Expected volatility   24.99%   24.65%   25.47%
Exercise price  Rs.1,162.00   Rs.1,270.00   Rs.1,270.00 
Option life   5.5 Years    4.5 Years    5.5 Years 
Risk-free interest rate   6.16%   7.18%   7.19%
Expected dividends   0.69%   0.64%   0.64%
Grant date share price  Rs.1,155.90   Rs.1,258.69   Rs.1,258.69

   Rs.415   Rs.458   Rs.(23)  Rs.224 

 

(1)As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there was Rs.641 and Rs.624, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.04 years and 1.97 years, respectively.

 

(2)Certain of the Company’s employees are eligible to receive share based payment awards that are settled in cash. These awards vest only upon satisfaction of certain service conditions which range from 1 to 4 years. A category of these awards are also linked to the overall performance of the Company. These awards entitle the employees to a cash payment on the vesting date. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the share price of the Company at the time of vesting. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there was Rs. 691 and Rs.726, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.06 years and 1.91 years, respectively. This scheme does not involve dealing in or subscribing to or purchasing securities of the Company, directly or indirectly.

23.Financial instruments (continued)

 

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025:

 

Particulars   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
FVTPL - Financial asset - Investments in units of mutual funds   Rs. 33,186     Rs. -     Rs. -     Rs. 33,186

(1)The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions and banks. Derivatives are valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward option and swap contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black-Scholes-Merton models (for option valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including foreign exchange forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves.

 

(2)Fair value of these instruments is determined based on an independent valuation report, which considers the net asset value method.

 

As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

 

Hedges of foreign currency exchange rate risks

 

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk which arises from its foreign exchange revenues and expenses (primarily in U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds sterling, Russian roubles, Brazilian reals, Swiss francs, South African rands, Kazakhstan tenges, Romanian new leus, Australian dollars, Euros, Thai bahts, Chilean pesos, Colombian pesos, Danish krones) and its foreign currency debt (in Russian roubles, Mexican pesos, and Brazilian reals).

 

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts (derivative financial instruments) to mitigate its risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses non-derivative financial instruments such as borrowings as part of its foreign currency exposure risk mitigation strategy.

 

Hedges of changes in the interest rates

 

Consistent with its risk management policy, the Company uses interest rate swaps (including cross currency interest rate swaps) to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates. The Company does not use them for trading or speculative purposes. The Company does not have any significant long term borrowings. Hence, the interest rate risk on borrowings is not significant.

 

Details of gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts

 

The following table presents details in respect of the gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts to hedge highly probable forecast transactions during the applicable period ended:

24.Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in disputes, lawsuits, claims, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”), including patent and commercial matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Most of the claims involve complex issues. Often, these issues are subject to uncertainties and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amount of any loss is often difficult to ascertain. Consequently, for a majority of these claims, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings. This is due to a number of factors, including: the stage of the proceedings (in many cases trial dates have not been set) and the overall length and extent of pre-trial discovery; the entitlement of the parties to an action to appeal a decision; clarity as to theories of liability; damages and governing law; uncertainties in timing of litigation; and the possible need for further legal proceedings to establish the appropriate amount of damages, if any. In these cases, the Company, based on internal and external legal advice, assesses the need to make a provision or discloses information with respect to the nature and facts of the case.

 

The Company also believes that disclosure of the amount sought by plaintiffs, if that is known, would not be meaningful with respect to those legal proceedings.

 

Although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any of the Legal Proceedings referred to in this Note, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as it believes that the likelihood of loss in excess of amounts accrued (if any) is not probable. However, if one or more of such Legal Proceedings were to result in judgments against the Company, such judgments could be material to its results of operations or cash flows in a given period.

 

Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2025 contains a summary of significant Legal Proceedings. The following is a summary, as of the date of the authorization of the interim financial statements (i.e., October 24, 2025), of significant developments in those proceedings as well as any new significant proceedings commenced since the date such Annual Report on Form 20-F was filed.

 

Product and patent related matters

 

Matters relating to National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (“NPPA”)

 

Norfloxacin, India litigation

 

The Company manufactures and distributes Norfloxacin, a formulations product, and in limited quantities, the active pharmaceutical ingredient norfloxacin. Under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order (the “DPCO”), the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (the “NPPA”) established by the Government of India had the authority to designate a pharmaceutical product as a “specified product” and fix the maximum selling price for such product. In 1995, the NPPA issued a notification and designated Norfloxacin as a “specified product” and fixed the maximum selling price. In 1996, the Company filed a statutory Form III before the NPPA for the upward revision of the maximum selling price and a writ petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court (the “High Court”) challenging the validity of the designation on the grounds that the applicable rules of the DPCO were not complied with while fixing the maximum selling price. The High Court had previously granted an interim order in favour of the Company; however, it subsequently dismissed the case in April 2004.

 

The Company filed a review petition in the High Court in April 2004 which was also dismissed by the High Court in October 2004. Subsequently, the Company appealed to the Supreme Court of India, New Delhi (the “Supreme Court”) by filing a Special Leave Petition.

  

During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company received a notice from the NPPA demanding the recovery of the price charged by the Company for sales of Norfloxacin in excess of the maximum selling price fixed by the NPPA, which was Rs.285 including interest.

  

The Company filed a writ petition in the High Court challenging this demand order. The High Court admitted the writ petition and granted an interim order, directing the Company to deposit 50% of the principal amount claimed by the NPPA, which was Rs.77. The Company deposited this amount with the NPPA in November 2005. In February 2008, the High Court directed the Company to deposit an additional amount of Rs.30, which was deposited by the Company in March 2008. In November 2010, the High Court allowed the Company’s application to include additional legal grounds that the Company believed strengthened its defence against the demand. For example, the Company added as grounds that trade margins should not be included in the computation of amounts overcharged, and that it was necessary for the NPPA to set the active pharmaceutical ingredient price before the process of determining the ceiling on the formulation price. In October 2013, the Company filed an additional writ petition before the Supreme Court challenging the inclusion of Norfloxacin as a “specified product” under the DPCO. In January 2015, the NPPA filed a counter affidavit stating that the inclusion of Norfloxacin was based upon the recommendation of a committee consisting of experts in the field. On July 20, 2016, the Supreme Court remanded the matters concerning the inclusion of Norfloxacin as a “specified product” under the DPCO back to the High Court for further proceedings. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition pertaining to the fixing of prices for Norfloxacin formulations.

24.Contingencies (continued)

 

Norfloxacin, India litigation (continued)

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, a writ petition pertaining to Norfloxacin was filed by the Company with the Delhi High Court. In addition, the Company has filed writ petitions challenging the inclusion and designation of Theophylline/Doxofylline, Cloxacillin and Ciprofloxacin as “specified products” under the DPCO and the related demand notices issued thereunder. These matters were consolidated with the Norfloxacin matter and have been adjourned to December 11, 2025 for hearing.

 

Based on its best estimate, the Company has recorded a provision for potential liability for sale proceeds in excess of the notified selling prices, including the interest thereon, and believes that the likelihood of any further liability that may arise on account of penalties pursuant to this litigation is not probable.

 

Litigation relating to Cardiovascular and Anti-diabetic formulations

 

In July 2014, the NPPA, pursuant to the guidelines issued in May 2014 and the powers granted by the Government of India under the Drugs (Price Control) Order, 2013, issued certain notifications regulating the prices for 108 formulations in the cardiovascular and antidiabetic therapeutic areas. The Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance (“IPA”), in which the Company is a member, filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court challenging the notifications issued by the NPPA on the grounds that they were ultra vires, ex facie and ab initio void. The Bombay High Court issued an order to stay the writ in July 2014. On September 26, 2016, the Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the IPA and upheld the validity of the notifications/orders passed by the NPPA in July 2014. Further, on October 25, 2016, the IPA filed a Special Leave Petition with the Supreme Court, which was dismissed by the Supreme Court.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the NPPA issued show-cause notices relating to allegations that the Company exceeded the notified maximum prices for 11 of its products. The Company has responded to these notices.

 

On March 20, 2017, the IPA filed an application before the Bombay High Court for the recall of the judgment of the Bombay High Court dated September 26, 2016. This recall application filed by the IPA was dismissed by the Bombay High Court on October 4, 2017. Further, on December 13, 2017, the IPA filed a Special Leave Petition with the Supreme Court for the recall of the judgment of the Bombay High Court dated October 4, 2017, which was dismissed by Supreme Court on January 10, 2018.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the NPPA issued notices to the Company demanding payments relating to the foregoing products for the allegedly overcharged amounts, along with interest. On July 13, 2017, in response to a writ petition which the Company had filed, the Delhi High Court set aside all the demand notices of the NPPA and directed the NPPA to provide a personal hearing to the Company and pass a speaking order. A personal hearing in this regard was held on July 21, 2017. On July 27, 2017, the NPPA passed a speaking order along with the demand notice directing the Company to pay an amount of Rs.776. On August 3, 2017, the Company filed a writ petition challenging the speaking order and the demand notice. Upon hearing the matter on August 8, 2017, the Delhi High Court stayed the operation of the demand order and directed the Company to deposit Rs.100 and furnish a bank guarantee for Rs.676. Pursuant to the order, the Company deposited Rs.100 on September 13, 2017 and submitted a bank guarantee of Rs.676 dated September 15, 2017 to the Registrar General, Delhi High Court. On November 22, 2017, the Delhi High Court directed the Union of India to file a final counter affidavit within six weeks, subsequent to which the Company could file a rejoinder. On May 10, 2018, the counter affidavit was filed by the Union of India. The Company subsequently filed a rejoinder and both were taken on record by the Delhi High Court. The Union of India filed an Affidavit on July 8, 2025, conceding the ground on 10% increase on Maximum Retail Price for every 12 months basis the Bard Judgement (Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited vs Union of India & Ors.) of the Delhi High Court dated November 8, 2023, and shared the recomputed demand for Rs.664 in place of the original demand of Rs.776. The matter has been adjourned to November 27, 2025 for hearing.

 

Based on its best estimate, the Company has recorded a cumulative provision of Rs.500 (Rs.479 through March 31, 2025) under “Selling, general and administrative expenses” as a potential liability for sale proceeds in excess of the notified selling prices, including the interest thereon, and believes that the likelihood of any further liability that may arise on account of penalties pursuant to this litigation is not probable.

 

However, if the Company is unsuccessful in such litigation, it will be required to remit the sale proceeds in excess of the notified selling prices to the Government of India with interest and could potentially include penalties, which amounts are not readily ascertainable.

Other product and patent related matters

 

Ranitidine recall and litigation

 

On October 1, 2019, the Company initiated a voluntary nationwide recall (at the retail level for over-the-counter products and at the consumer level for prescription products) of its generic ranitidine products sold in the United States due to the presence of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (“NDMA”) above levels established by the U.S. FDA. On April 1, 2020, the U.S. FDA requested manufacturers to withdraw all ranitidine products from the market immediately.

 

Federal Multidistrict Litigation - MDL 2924

 

On February 6, 2020, the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation established MDL 2924, In re Zantac (Ranitidine) Products Liability Litigation, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “MDL 2924”). Federal court cases, including personal injury lawsuits and putative class actions, were transferred to the MDL 2924 and consolidated for pre-trial purposes. To date, the Company (and/or one or more of its affiliates) has been named as a defendant in more than 3,275 lawsuits in the MDL 2924.

 

On December 31, 2020, the MDL 2924 Court granted the generic manufacturers’ motion to dismiss all claims alleged against generic manufacturers in all the master complaints based on federal preemption. The plaintiffs’ failure-to-warn and design defect claims were dismissed with prejudice, but the Court permitted plaintiffs to amend their pleadings as to all other claims. Plaintiffs elected not to file an amended master complaint for the third-party payor class action. For all other remaining claims, plaintiffs filed amended master complaints. The defendants filed a second round of motions to dismiss on March 24, 2021. On July 8, 2021, the Court dismissed all remaining claims against the generic manufacturers with prejudice based on federal preemption. The MDL 2924 Court’s preemption rulings as to the generic manufacturer defendants were appealed in piecemeal fashion to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. On November 7, 2022, the 11th Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the third-party payor claims. All other appeals related to the generic defendants were stayed for many months in light of bankruptcy proceedings involving other defendants.

 

The brand manufacturers continued to litigate in the MDL 2924 following dismissal of the generic manufacturers. On December 6, 2022, the MDL 2924 Court entered an Order granting the brand defendants’ motions to exclude all plaintiffs’ expert witnesses and entering summary judgment in favor of the brand defendants as to all claims involving bladder, esophageal, gastric, liver, and pancreatic cancers (the “designated cancers”). The MDL 2924 Court then set a deadline of April 12, 2023 for plaintiffs to identify general causation experts as to any non-designated cancers. On May 15, 2023, the MDL 2924 Court entered summary judgment on the basis of Daubert as to all defendants (including generics) in all cases alleging designated cancers. On July 14, 2023, the MDL 2924 Court entered an Order dismissing all non-designated cancer cases with prejudice as to all defendants (including generic manufacturers) based on plaintiffs’ failure to disclose experts. The MDL 2924 Court dismissed all economic loss class action cases on July 26, 2023 for lack of standing and granted summary judgment in defendants’ favor on the medical monitoring class action cases in light of Daubert.

 

The MDL 2924 Court’s Orders on Daubert and summary judgment did not apply to cases for which plaintiffs had already filed a Notice of Appeal, because the MDL 2924 Court lacked jurisdiction over those cases. To streamline the appeals, the MDL 2924 Court issued an indicative ruling, finding that, if the 11th Circuit were to return jurisdiction to the MDL 2924 Court, the MDL 2924 Court would grant summary judgment in favor of the generic manufacturer defendants based on Daubert. In light of the indicative ruling, the non-brand manufacturer defendants asked the 11th Circuit to remand the pending appeals back to the MDL 2924 Court. On September 8, 2023, the 11th Circuit severed the bankrupt defendant entities and remanded all appeals of cases naming branded and generic manufacturer defendants (“mixed-use cases”). On September 26, 2023, the MDL 2924 Court entered Rule 58 final judgment in favor of all defendants as to all designated cancer cases. On November 14, 2023, the MDL 2924 Court entered Rule 58 final judgment in favor of all defendants in non-designated cancer cases. On December 26, 2023, the 11th Circuit consolidated the appeals arising from the MDL 2924 for disposition before the same panel. The Court ordered the parties to brief generic preemption separately, but on the same schedule with all the other issues on appeal. Plaintiffs filed their opening merits briefs on April 10, 2024. Defendants’ briefs were filed on July 25, 2024. Plaintiffs’ reply briefs were filed on November 8, 2024. Oral argument has occurred on October 10, 2025.

 

State Court Ranitidine-related Actions

 

Several ranitidine-related actions are currently pending against the Company in state courts. The New Mexico State Attorney General filed suit against the Company’s U.S. subsidiary and multiple other manufacturers and retailers asserting public nuisance and negligence claims. The court denied the generic defendants’ preemption motion to dismiss. Trial was scheduled for September 15, 2025, but the parties have requested a continuance. The City of Baltimore filed a similar public nuisance action, but the Maryland state court granted the generic defendants’ preemption motion to dismiss with prejudice. In January 2021, the Company was served in a Proposition 65 case filed by the Center for Environmental Health (“CFEH”) in the Superior Court of Alameda County, California. The Company and other defendants filed preemption demurrers and on May 7, 2021, the Court granted the generic manufacturer defendants’ demurrers without leave to amend. Plaintiff appealed that decision and lost in the appellate court. The Supreme Court of California denied plaintiff’s petition for review.

Ranitidine recall and litigation (continued)

 

More than 360 plaintiffs filed suit against the Company in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania state courts. Generally, they alleged failure to warn, design defect, and negligence claims. The Company has been voluntarily dismissed from all cases filed against it in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. In Illinois, all cases alleging personal injuries from Zantac/ranitidine were consolidated for pre-trial purposes in Cook County. On August 17, 2023, the trial court judge presiding over the consolidated Illinois state court proceedings granted the generic manufacturers’ motion to dismiss all claims in the Master Complaint with prejudice based on federal preemption. Plaintiffs filed an appeal in Valadez, the first ranitidine case to go to trial. In Valadez, the plaintiffs did not appeal the defense verdict in favor of the brands, but they did appeal the pre-trial dismissal of the generic defendants on preemption grounds. The defendants’ merits brief in Valadez was filed on April 3, 2025. On June 30, 2025, the First Judicial District ruled in favor of the generics on all counts in Valadez. However, with respect to the negligent storage and transportation claim, the Court affirmed only on the basis of estoppel, and found that the trial court judge erred when he found that storage and transportation claims are preempted. On July 25, 2025, plaintiff filed a Petition for Leave to Appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. The defendants’ answer to the Petition was filed on August 15, 2025. On September 24, 2025, the Illinois Supreme Court denied the Petition for Leave to Appeal. Separately, plaintiffs filed a Rule 304(a) motion seeking an interlocutory appeal of the trial court judge’s preemption decision as to the generic manufacturer defendants in all Illinois state court cases. The Court denied the motion without prejudice on February 10, 2025. In California, the Company was named in approximately 214 cases. All the California cases were transferred to the existing Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings (“JCCP”) in Alameda County. After multiple rounds of demurrers on preemption, the JCCP Court allowed several of plaintiffs’ claims to proceed against generic manufacturer defendants, including negligent storage and transportation, negligent product containers, failure to warn the U.S. FDA through adverse event reporting, and manufacturing defects. On December 23, 2024, the Company and plaintiffs’ counsel executed a confidential master settlement agreement to resolve the California cases pending against the Company. As of September 29, 2025, approximately 171 of the cases filed against the Company in the JCCP have been dismissed pursuant to the settlement agreement. The Company believes that all of the aforesaid complaints and asserted claims are without merit and it denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. Any liability that may arise on account of these claims is unascertainable at this time. Accordingly, no provision was made in these interim financial statements.

 

Class Action under the Canadian Competition Act filed in Federal Court in Toronto, Canada

 

On June 3, 2020, a Class Action Statement of Claim was filed by an individual consumer in Federal Court in Toronto, Canada, against the Company’s U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and 52 other generic drug companies. The Statement of Claim alleges an industry-wide, overarching conspiracy to violate Sections 45 and 46 of the Canadian Competition Act by conspiring to allocate the market, fix prices, and maintain the supply of generic drugs in Canada. The action is brought on behalf of a class of all persons, from January 1, 2012 to the present, who purchased generic drugs in the private sector. The Statement of Claim states that it seeks damages against all defendants on a joint and several basis, attorney’s fees and costs of investigation and prosecution. An Amended Statement of Claim was served on the Company’s U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries on January 15, 2021 and added an additional 20 generic drug companies. The Amended Statement of Claim also removed the identification of defendant companies with conspiracy allegations regarding specific generic drugs and alleges a conspiracy to allocate the North America Market as to all generic drugs in Canada. A Second Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim was served on the Company's U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries on August 24, 2022 and adds an additional 10 drug companies. The Second Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim reinstituted the identification of defendant companies with conspiracy allegations regarding specific generic drugs. On June 1, 2023, plaintiffs served and filed a Motion Record for Certification of the proposed class action. On January 15, 2024, the plaintiffs served and filed a Third Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim, clarifying the proposed class as including: consumers who purchased generic drugs at pharmacies; prescription drug plan holders or sponsors including employers, businesses, governments, and individual plan holders or sponsors; private insurers and insurance companies that purchase or reimburse for generic drugs; and corporate and other entities that purchase or reimburse for generic drugs in the private sector.

 

It also clarifies the proposed class as excluding distributors, wholesalers, and pharmacies. On June 17, 2024, the plaintiffs served and filed a Supplementary Motion Record for Certification.

 

The Company’s and all defendants’ responding evidence to the certification motion was delivered on August 2, 2024. The plaintiffs’ reply evidence for the certification motion was delivered November 15, 2024. At the same time, the plaintiffs delivered a further amended claim (the Fourth Amended Statement of Claim), which advances new allegations representing a significant shift in the core conspiracy claim and theory of the case. In addition to the alleged market allocation conspiracy, the plaintiffs now allege that the defendant generic drug manufacturers also conspired with pharmacies to “fix invoice prices for generic drugs in Canada at the maximum formulary price,” and that the defendants facilitated this alleged conspiracy through the use of “illegal and anticompetitive kickbacks” paid to pharmacies.

In 2023 and 2024, three lawsuits were filed against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (“DRL Inc.”) and/or Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. (“DRL Ltd.” and together with DRL Inc., “DRL”), and three additional groups of plaintiffs sought to add DRL to their pending actions and/or through additional lawsuits, in federal court in New Jersey concerning the drug product Revlimid® and generic equivalents. Litigation has been pending in that court since at least 2019 by various plaintiffs asserting antitrust claims and similar claims against Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”) related to Revlimid®, In re Revlimid & Thalomid Purchaser Antitrust Litigation, C.A. No. 19-cv-07532 (D.N.J.) (“In re Revlimid action”). Starting in 2022, certain plaintiffs also filed lawsuits in this litigation against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. (“Teva”) and Natco Pharma Limited (“Natco”) as well. Then, in 2023, plaintiffs Mayo Clinic and LifePoint Corporate Services, General Partnership filed a complaint against DRL Inc. as well as defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva (C.A. No. 23-cv-22321 (D.N.J.)). In a second lawsuit in 2023 (C.A. No. 23-cv-22117 (D.N.J.)), plaintiff Intermountain Health, Inc. filed a complaint against DRL Inc. and the same group of defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva (Mayo Clinic, LifePoint Corporate Services, General Partnership, and Intermountain Health, Inc., together, the “Hospital Plaintiffs”). The Hospital Plaintiffs have subsequently added DRL Ltd. as a defendant to their lawsuits. In a third lawsuit, filed in 2024 (C.A. No. 24-cv-00379 (D.N.J.)), plaintiffs Walgreen Co., Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, Inc., and CVS Pharmacy Inc. (together, the “Retailer Plaintiffs”), who previously had sued Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva, filed an additional complaint against DRL Inc. and DRL Ltd. The Hospital Plaintiffs’ and Retailer Plaintiffs’ actions against DRL have been consolidated with the In re Revlimid action. Subsequently, through amended complaints, three additional groups of plaintiffs have sought to add DRL as a defendant in their already pending lawsuits previously consolidated into the In re Revlimid action. The first such plaintiff is United Healthcare Services, Inc. (“United”) (C.A. No. 20-cv-18531 (D.N.J.)).

 

The second such group of plaintiffs is composed of Cigna Corp., Humana Inc., Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Health Care Service Corporation, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc., and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (C.A. Nos. 19-cv-07532 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-11686 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-10187 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-06668 (D.N.J.), and 22-cv-04561(D.N.J.)) (together, the “Insurer Plaintiffs”). The third such group of plaintiffs is composed of Jacksonville Police Officers and Fire Fighters Health Insurance Trust, Carpenters and Joiners Welfare Fund, Teamsters Local 237 Welfare Fund and Teamsters Local 237 Retirees’ Benefit Fund, and Teamsters Western Region and New Jersey Health Care Fund, who bring their claims on behalf of a purported class of end-payors of Revlimid® and generic equivalents (C.A. No. 22-cv-06694 (D.N.J.)) (the “EPP Plaintiffs”).

 

The allegations brought by the Hospital Plaintiffs, the Retailer Plaintiffs, United, the Insurer Plaintiffs, and the EPP Plaintiffs (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) against DRL in these cases are similar: they allege that the patent settlement agreement among DRL, Celgene and BMS concerning Revlimid® violated federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws by improperly delaying generic entry of Revlimid® through 2022 and then limiting generic competition of Revlimid® through 2026. The Plaintiffs’ claims against DRL are also substantially similar to the claims these plaintiffs have brought against defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva.

 

Each of these lawsuits naming DRL as a defendant have been consolidated with the ongoing In re Revlimid action. A trial date has not yet been scheduled. On June 6, 2024, the court issued an order on the pending motions to dismiss filed by other defendants, in which the court dismissed all claims at issue in that motion, including claims challenging the patent settlement agreements. The order allowed plaintiffs to file amended complaints. On August 5, 2024, all Plaintiffs filed amended complaints, including the amended complaints filed by United, Insurer Plaintiffs, and EPP Plaintiffs, described above, which sought to add DRL as a defendant in those actions for the first time. On October 7, 2024, DRL and all other defendants to the In re Revlimid action filed motions to dismiss each of Plaintiffs’ lawsuits in their entirety. Those motions are pending, and discovery currently is stayed.

Revlimid® Antitrust Litigation (continued)

 

On December 16, 2024, several of the Insurer Plaintiffs also filed substantially similar complaints to those already pending in the In re Revlimid action against DRL, Natco, Teva, and AbbVie Inc. (C.A. Nos. 24-cv-11168 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11169 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11176 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-1121 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11230 (D.N.J.)) (the “Standalone Actions”). On January 13, 2025, DRL and all other defendants to the Standalone Actions filed a letter requesting the court that they be allowed to brief a motion to dismiss the Standalone Actions, including for substantially the same reasons already briefed in the motion to dismiss the claims raised in the In re Revlimid action.

 

On May 5, 2025, the cases were reassigned from Judge Esther Salas to Judge Michael Farbiarz, also of the District of New Jersey.  A trial date has not been set.

 

The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. Any liability that may arise on account of this litigation is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

Other matters

 

Internal Investigation

 

The Company received an anonymous complaint in September 2020, alleging that healthcare professionals in Ukraine and potentially in other countries were provided with improper payments by or on behalf of the Company in violation of U.S. anti-corruption laws, specifically the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company disclosed the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Securities Exchange Board of India. The Company engaged a U.S. law firm to conduct the investigation at the instruction of a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On July 6, 2021 the Company received a subpoena from the SEC for the production of related documents, which were provided to the SEC.

 

The Company has continued to engage with the SEC and DOJ, including through submissions and presentations regarding the initial complaint and additional complaints relating to other markets, and in relation to its Global Compliance Framework, which includes enhancement initiatives undertaken by the Company, and the Company is complying with its listing obligations as it relates to updating the regulatory agencies. While the findings from the aforesaid investigations could result in government or regulatory enforcement actions against the Company in the United States and/or foreign jurisdictions and can also lead to civil and criminal sanctions under relevant laws, the outcomes, including liabilities, are not reasonably ascertainable at this time.

Indirect taxes related matters

 

Value Added Tax (“VAT”) matter

 

The Company has received demand notices from the Commercial Taxes Department of various states in India, objecting to the Company’s methodology of calculation of VAT refunds for periods beginning from April 2006 to March 2011 and from April 2017 to March 2018. The Company has filed an appeal before the Appellate Tribunal and believes the demand in these orders are not enforceable and will not have any significant impact on the Company.

 

Additionally, the Company is involved in other VAT related disputes, for which a provision of Rs.118 has been recorded as of September 30, 2025, and believes that the likelihood of any further liability that may arise pursuant to these disputes is not probable.

 

Notices from Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax, India

 

In January 2020, the Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax, India issued notices alleging that the Company has improperly availed input tax credit of Rs.307. The Company then received an order from the Additional Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax in favor of the Company’s right to claim such input tax credit. Subsequently the tax authorities filed an appeal against the favorable order before the Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax (Appeals). The Commissioner of Goods and Service Tax (Appeals) passed an order rejecting the Company’s right to claim such input tax credit availment. The Company has filed an Appeal against such order before Hon’ble High Court of Telangana.

 

The Company believes that it has correctly distributed and availed the input tax credit within the provisions of the applicable Act and hence no additional liability will accrue in this regard.

 

With reference to availment of input tax credit relating to education cess, the Company has received order with tax demand of Rs.31 from the Goods and Service Tax (“GST”) authorities of various states pursuant to which it has recorded a provision of Rs.31 as of March 31, 2025.

 

In February 2022, the Company paid under protest an amount of Rs.123 towards a GST reverse charge. In January 2025, the Additional Commissioner of GST passed an order confirming the demand as per the show cause notice dated July 5, 2024. The Company believes that the demand in such order is not enforceable and will not have any significant impact on the Company. In April 2025, the Company filed an appeal, against such order.

 

Other indirect tax related matters

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received a Field Tax Audit Report from the Federal Tax service authority for one of its foreign subsidiaries for the period from January 2020 to December 2022. The report classified that certain services would be subject to value-added tax (VAT). The Company filed objections, and a revised report was issued on September 15, 2025. The Company submitted further objections, stating that the specified services should not be subject to VAT on October 6, 2025 and is awaiting the final tax assessment.

 

Based on its best estimate, the Company has recorded a provision of Rs.695 under “Selling, general and administrative expenses”, and believes that the likelihood of any further liability that may arise on account of this is not probable.

 

Additionally, the Company is in receipt of various demand notices from the Indian Sales and Service Tax authorities. The disputed amount is Rs.482. The Company has responded to such demand notices and believes that the chances of any liability arising from such notices are less than probable. Accordingly, no provision is made in these interim financial statements as of September 30, 2025.

25.Geopolitical Conflicts

 

The Company considered the uncertainties relating to the escalation of conflict in the middle east, duration of military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in assessing the recoverability of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. The outcome of such conflicts are difficult to predict, and any of them could have an adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment. Management has considered all potential impacts of these conflicts, including adherence to global sanctions and other restrictive measures against Russia and any retaliatory actions taken by Russia. For this purpose, the Company considered internal and external sources of information up to the date of authorization of these interim financial statements (i.e., October 24, 2025).

 

The Company based on its judgments, estimates and assumptions expects to fully recover the carrying amount of receivables, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. Accordingly, during the six months ended September 30, 2025, the impact of this conflict on the Company’s operations and financial condition was not material. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

A.Agreement with Nestlé India Limited

 

On April 25, 2024, the parent company entered into a definitive agreement with Nestlé India Limited (“Nestlé India”), for manufacturing, developing, promoting, marketing, selling, distributing, and commercializing nutraceutical products and supplements in India and other geographies as may be agreed by the parties. The aforesaid business activities are carried out through Dr. Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science Limited (the “Nutraceuticals subsidiary”). This arrangement is strategically important for both companies as it allows to combine their complementary strengths and expand their reach in the nutraceutical market.

 

The transaction was concluded on August 1, 2024. The parent company invested Rs.7,344 in the Nutraceuticals subsidiary, while Nestlé India contributed Rs.7,056, and as a result the parent company and Nestlé India hold ownership stakes of 51% and 49% respectively. Further, Nestlé India has a call option to increase their shareholding to 60% after six years from the closing date for a purchase price based on fair market value.  Subsequently, the Nutraceutical subsidiary acquired Nestlé India’s nutraceuticals and supplements portfolio, including product licenses, teams and employees, for Rs.2,231. Additionally, a royalty is payable to Nestlé India at 4.5% of post-closing net sales of such portfolio.

 

The parent company accounted for the acquisition from Nestlé India under IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the parent company allocated purchase consideration and recognized product related intangibles and other intangibles of Rs.1,982, property, plant and equipment and current assets of Rs.42 and Goodwill of Rs.207, on the acquisition date (i.e., August 1, 2024).

 

The related acquisition costs were not material and have been charged to the consolidated income statement for the year ended March 31, 2025.

 

The carrying amount of the 49% shareholding held by Nestlé India, recorded under non-controlling interest, is Rs.3,593 and Rs.3,778 as at September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Refer to Note 36 of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 for further details.

 

B.Business transfer agreement with Haleon

 

On June 26, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreement with Haleon UK Enterprises Limited (“Haleon”) to acquire Haleon’s global portfolio of consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category (the “NRT Business”) outside of the United States of America for a total consideration of up to Rs.56,121 (GBP 500), including an upfront cash payment of Rs.51,407 (GBP 458) and earn-out consideration of up to Rs.4,714 (GBP 42).

 

The acquisition was structured as a purchase of 100% of the shares of NorthStar Switzerland SARL, whose assets includes intellectual property, employees, agreements with commercial manufacturing organizations, marketing authorizations, and other assets related to the commercialization of brands of the NRT Business. The acquisition included all formats such as lozenge, patch, spray, and gum in all applicable global markets outside of the United States of America.

 

The transaction was completed on September 30, 2024. Upon completion, the Company paid Haleon an upfront cash payment of Rs.51,407 (GBP 458). An additional consideration of up to Rs.4,714 million (GBP 42 million) is payable contingent upon achieving agreed-upon sales targets in calendar years 2024 and 2025, bringing the total potential consideration to Rs.56,121 million (GBP 500 million).

 

The Company accounted for the transaction under IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method. The fair value of consideration transferred is Rs.53,660. Based on fair valuation, the Company allocated purchase consideration and recognized product related intangibles (brands) of Rs.54,973, deferred tax liabilities of Rs.8,483 and goodwill of Rs.7,170. This acquisition pertains to the Company’s Global Generics segment.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid Haleon the first earnout milestone of Rs.1,655 (GBP 15) for achieving specified NRT Business sales targets in calendar year 2024 and meeting other parameters. Additional earnout consideration of up to Rs.3,027 (GBP 27) is payable to Haleon contingent upon achieving agreed-upon NRT Business sales targets in calendar year 2025, and meeting other parameters.

27.Business Combination (continued)

 

The fair value was estimated using the discounted cash flows technique, which considers the present value of the expected future earn-out payment discounted from their respective payment dates using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The significant unobservable inputs in the valuation is the estimated sales forecast. The Company has estimated that the prescribed sales target will be met. The Company has also estimated that any reasonably possible change in the sales for the calendar year 2025 will not result in a material change in the fair value of the contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is classified as a financial liability and any subsequent changes in its value, including due to time value of money, are recognized in the consolidated income statement.

 

The integration of the operations of the acquired NRT Business into the Company will happen gradually in a phased approach between April 2025 and February 2026 until the local marketing authorizations for respective geographies are transferred in the Company’s name. For the interim transition period until transfer of marketing authorizations is complete, the Company has entered into a Transitional Distribution Services Agreement whereby Haleon Group will provide temporary distribution and related services up to February 2026 across all markets, subject to a potential extension as determined mutually by the parties.

Segment Analysis

 

Global Generics

 

Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.78,498 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 10% as compared to Rs.71,576 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was in revenues from three of four business geographies of this segment: Europe, “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including South Africa, China, Brazil, and Australia) as well as India. There was a decline in revenues from North America (the United States and Canada), primarily due to price erosion.

 

After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the foregoing increase in revenues of this segment was attributable to the following factors:

 

·an increase of approximately 10% resulting from acquisitions between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025;

 

·an increase of approximately 4% resulting from additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025;

 

·an increase of approximately 4% resulting from a net increase in the sales volumes of certain of the existing products in this segment; and

 

·the foregoing was partially offset by a decrease of approximately 12% in sales prices of certain of the products in this segment.

 

North America (the United States and Canada): Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from North America (the United States and Canada) were Rs.32,408 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 13% as compared to Rs.37,281 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues decreased by 16% in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

This decrease in revenues was largely attributable to price erosion in certain of our existing products.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we launched seven new products in North America (the United States and Canada), of which five new products were launched in the United States.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we made five new ANDA filings with the U.S. FDA. As of September 30, 2025, we had 75 filings pending approval with the U.S. FDA, which includes 73 ANDAs and two NDAs filed under section 505(b)(2). Out of these 73 ANDA filings, 45 are Paragraph IV filings and we believe we are the first to file with respect to 22 of these filings.

 

Europe: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Europe are primarily derived from Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Spain as well as the global portfolio outside of the United States of consumer brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category acquired from Haleon UK (the “Acquired NRT Business”). Such revenues from Europe were Rs.13,762 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 138% as compared to Rs.5,770 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against the currencies in the markets in which we operate, the foregoing increase in revenues of this segment was largely attributable to the additional revenues from the Acquired NRT Business, an increase in sales volumes of certain of our existing products and additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025, all of which were partially offset by a decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we launched eight new products in Europe.

 

India: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from India for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were Rs.15,780 million, an increase of 13% as compared to Rs.13,971 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was largely attributable to increase in sales prices and volumes of certain of our existing products and additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we launched 11 new brands in India.

 

According to IQVIA in its report for the three months ended September 30, 2025, our secondary sales in India grew by 10.4% during such period, as compared to the Indian pharmaceutical market’s growth of 7.2%.

Emerging Markets: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including South Africa, China, Brazil and Australia) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were Rs.16,548 million, an increase of 14% as compared to Rs.14,554 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Russia: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were Rs.8,747 million, an increase of 28% as compared to Rs.6,854 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by 13%. The increase in revenues, in absolute currency, was primarily on account of an increase in sales prices and volumes of certain of our existing products. Our over-the-counter (“OTC”) division’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were 52% of our total revenues from Russia.

 

According to IQVIA, as per its report for the three months ended August 31, 2025, our sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth was as follows:

Other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania were Rs.2,342 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 9% as compared to Rs.2,146 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was largely attributable to additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products.  

 

“Rest of the World” Markets: We refer to all markets of this segment other than North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and India, as well as the Acquired NRT Business, as our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.5,459 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 2% as compared to Rs.5,554 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in sales prices and volumes of certain of our existing products. 

 

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)

 

Our PSAI segment’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were Rs.9,450 million, an increase of 12% as compared to Rs.8,407 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

The gross profit margin from our Global Generics segment decreased to 59.1% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 63.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was mainly on account of price erosion in certain of our existing products, partially offset by favorable changes in our product mix (i.e., in the proportion of our sales of products having higher profit margins).  

 

The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment decreased to 18.0% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 30.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily on account of unfavorable changes in our product mix (i.e., in the proportion of our sales of products having higher profit margins) as well as lower operating leverage.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.26,436 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 15% as compared to Rs.23,007 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to the following:

 

·a 11% increase due to higher selling and advertising expenses;

 

·a 5% increase due to higher personnel costs, primarily on account of new hires and annual raises;

 

·a 2% increase due to higher spending on other costs, including depreciation and amortization; and

 

the foregoing was partially offset by

 

·a 2% decrease due to lower legal and professional expenses; and

 

·a 1% decrease due to lower freight outward expenses.

 

As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 30.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 28.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Our research and development expenses were Rs.6,202 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 15% as compared to Rs.7,271 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily on account of lower developmental expenditures on certain projects for our biosimilar business.

 

As a proportion of our total revenues, our research and development expenses decreased to 7.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 9.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Segment Analysis

 

Global Generics

 

Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.154,118 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 10% as compared to Rs.140,434 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was in three of four business geographies of this segment: Europe, “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including South Africa, China, Brazil, and Australia) and  India. There was a decline in revenues from North America (the United States and Canada), primarily due to price erosion.

After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the foregoing increase in revenues of this segment was attributable to the following factors:

 

·an increase of approximately 10% resulting from acquisitions between April 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025;

 

·an increase of approximately 4% resulting from additional revenues from new products launched between April 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025;

 

·an increase of approximately 3% resulting from increases in sales volumes of certain of our existing products; and

 

·the foregoing was partially offset by a decrease of approximately 11% resulting from decreases in sales prices of certain of our existing products in this segment.

 

North America (the United States and Canada): Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from North America (the United States and Canada) were Rs.66,531 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 12% as compared to Rs.75,743 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues decreased by 16% in the six months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease in revenues was largely attributable to a decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products.

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, we launched 12 new products in North America (the United States and Canada), of which ten were launched in the United States.

 

Europe: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Europe were Rs.26,506 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 140% as compared to Rs.11,035 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against the currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to the additional revenues from the Acquired NRT Business, revenues from new products launched between April 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025 and an increase in the sales volume of certain of our existing products, all of which were partially offset by a decrease in the sales prices of certain of our existing products.

 

India: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from India were Rs.30,491 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 12% as compared to Rs.27,223 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. During the six months ended September 30, 2025, we launched 16 new brands in India.

 

According to IQVIA in its Moving Annual Total report for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, our secondary sales in India grew by 9.4% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market’s growth of 7.8%.

 

Emerging Markets: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries which we refer to as our “Rest of the World” markets, primarily South Africa, China, Brazil and Australia) for the six months ended September 30, 2025 were Rs.30,590 million, an increase of 16% as compared to Rs.26,433 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Russia: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the six months ended September 30, 2025 were Rs.15,828 million, an increase of 28% as compared to Rs.12,401 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by 15%. Our OTC  division’s revenues from Russia for the six months ended September 30, 2025 were 52% of our total revenues from Russia.

 

According to IQVIA, as per its report for the five months  ended August 31, 2025, our sales value growth (in Russian roubles) and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market, was as follows:

 

   For the five months ended August 31, 2025 
   Dr. Reddy's Laboratories

“Rest of the World” Markets: We refer to all markets of this segment other than North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and India, as well as the Acquired NRT Business, as our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.10,467 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 5% as compared to Rs.9,968 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)

 

Our PSAI segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025 were Rs.17,631 million, an increase of 10% as compared to Rs.16,065 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to the additional revenues from new products launched between April 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

 

Gross Profit

 

Our total gross profit was Rs.96,767 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing 55.8% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.94,113 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, representing 60.0% of our revenues for that period.

 

The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, our gross profits by segment:

Total   Rs. 96,767       55.8 %   Rs. 94,113       60.0 %

  

After taking into account the impact of the exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the gross profit margin from our Global Generics segment decreased to 60.0% of this segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from 63.9% of this segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was mainly on account of price erosion in certain of our existing products, partially offset by favorable changes in our product mix (i.e., in the proportion of our sales of products having higher profit margins).

 

The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment decreased to 15.8% of this segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from 26.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily on account of unfavorable changes in our product mix (i.e., in the proportion of our sales of products having higher profit margins) and lower operating leverage.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.52,083 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 14% as compared to Rs.45,698 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to the following:

 

·a 10% increase due to higher selling and advertisement expenses;

 

·a 4% increase due to higher personnel costs, primarily on account of annual raises;

 

·a 3% increase due to higher other cost, including depreciation and amortization expenses; and

 

the foregoing was partially offset by

 

·a 2% decrease due to lower legal and professional expenses; and

 

·a 1% decrease due to lower freight outwards expenses.

Finance income, net

 

Our net finance income was Rs.2,344 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.2,392 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease in net finance income was due to the following:

 

·a decrease in fair value changes and profit on sale of units of mutual funds and other investments to Rs.1,277 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.2,245 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024;

 

·net foreign exchange gains of Rs.764 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.93 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024; and
