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

“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. |

| 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
July 23, 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 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

| 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. |

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.
Subsidiaries
These interim financial statements
comprise the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries as at June 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.
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. |

| 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.

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

Impairment losses recorded for the year ended March 31, 2025 includes:
| a. | Impairment of intangibles pertaining to acquisition from Mayne consists of: |
| · | an amount of Rs.907 towards Haloette® (a
generic equivalent to Nuvaring®), a product-related intangible, due to constraints on procurement of the underlying product from its
contract manufacturer, resulting in a lower recoverable value compared to the carrying value. |
| · | an amount of Rs.270 pertaining to impairment
of certain product related intangibles, due to adverse market conditions resulting in lower recoverable value compared to the carrying
value. |
During the year ended March 31,

value of certain products and recognized impairment loss of Rs.512 primarily pertaining to business in India and Europe.

**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 three months ended June 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 during the three months ended June 30,2025 had an
exercise price in the range of Rs. 1 to Rs.1,060 per share. The options exercised during the year ended March 31,2025 prior to the stock
split had an exercise price in the range of Rs. 5 to Rs. 5,301 per share and Rs. 1 per share after the stock split. Upon the exercise
of such 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 interim consolidated statements of changes in equity. |

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.

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.(2) and Rs.524 as of June
30, 2025 and 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.807 and Rs.939 as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Pursuant to the special resolutions
approved by the shareholders in the Annual General Meetings held on September 24, 2001, on July 27, 2005, and on July 27, 2018
respectively, the Company instituted the Dr. Reddy’s Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2002 (the “DRL 2002 Plan”), the
Dr. Reddy’s Employees ADR Stock Option Scheme, 2007 (the “DRL 2007 Plan”), and Dr. Reddy’s Employees Stock Option
Scheme, 2018 (the “DRL 2018 Plan”), respectively, each of which allows for grants of stock options to eligible employees.

| (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.

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 June 30, 2025 and 2024,
there was Rs. 858 and Rs.780, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards. This cost is expected

| (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 June 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 and Brazilian reals) and its foreign currency debt (in Russian roubles, Mexican pesos, U.S. dollars 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.

| 23. | Financial instruments (continued) |
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.

recognized in respect of derivative contracts

The net carrying amount of
the Company’s “hedging reserve” as a component of equity before adjusting for tax impact was a gain of Rs.273 as of
June 30, 2025, as compared to a gain of Rs.143 as of March 31, 2025.
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, 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”)
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.

Litigation relating
to Cardiovascular and Anti-diabetic formulations (continued)
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 September 22, 2025 for hearing.
Based on its best estimate,
the Company has recorded a cumulative provision of Rs.490 (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.

Ranitidine recall and litigation (continued)
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 is scheduled to take place during the week of October 6, 2025. An exact date and time will be set 6 to 8 weeks
in advance.
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.
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. 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.

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.
The certification motion
previously set by the court for five days was rescheduled to the week of October 27, 2025. Defendants’ sur-reply evidence was filed
on April 25, 2025, and the plaintiffs’ sur-sur-reply evidence was filed on May 23, 2025. Cross-examinations on the affidavits, including
the experts’ reports, were completed in June 2025. The plaintiffs’ and defendants’ written arguments are to be delivered
by August 1, 2025 and September 12, 2025, respectively.
The Company believes that
the asserted claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. Any liability that may arise on
account of this claim is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision was made in these consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Revlimid®
Antitrust Litigation
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.
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.

litigation 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 has filed an appeal, against such order.
Other indirect tax related matters
During the three months ended
June 30, 2025, the Company received a Field Tax Audit Report issued by the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the period from January 2020
to December 2022.The Company has filed its objections against such report. The proceedings are currently ongoing and the outcomes, including
liabilities, are not ascertainable at this point of time.
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 June 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., July 23, 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 three months ended June 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.

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 stake 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.

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 for achieving specified NRT Business sales targets in
calendar year 2024 and meeting other parameters. Additional earnout consideration of up to Rs.3,027 is payable to Haleon contingent upon

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.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2025, the transfers of local marketing authorizations were completed for the United Kingdom and Nordic countries on the
respective cut over dates.

Segment Analysis
Global Generics
Revenues from our Global
Generics segment were Rs.75,620 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 10% as compared to Rs.68,858 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenues was from three of the 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, which primarily consists of Brazil, South Africa, Vietnam, China, and Colombia), as
well as India. There was a decline in revenues from North America (the United States and Canada), primarily on account of price erosion.
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 attributable to the following factors:
| · | an increase of approximately 10% resulting from
acquisitions between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025; |
| · | an increase of approximately 5% resulting from
additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025; |
| · | an increase of approximately 2% resulting from
a net increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products in this segment; and |
| · | the foregoing was partially offset by a decrease
of approximately 10% resulting from the net impact of changes 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.34,123
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 11% as compared to Rs.38,462 million for the three months ended June 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 14% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
This decrease in revenues
was largely attributable to a decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2025, we launched five new products in the United States.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2025, we made one new ANDA filing with the U.S. FDA. As of June 30, 2025, we had 73 filings pending approval with the U.S.
FDA, which includes 70 ANDAs and three NDAs filed under section 505(b)(2). Out of these filings, 43 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, Spain and France 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.12,744 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025,
an increase of 142% as compared to Rs.5,265 million for the three months ended June 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 was primarily
on account of the additional revenues from the Acquired NRT Business and revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2024 and
June 30, 2025, both of which were partially offset by price erosion in certain of our existing products.
India: Our Global
Generics segment’s revenues from India for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were Rs.14,711 million, an increase of 11% as compared
to Rs.13,252 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the additional revenues from
new products launched between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and an increase in prices of certain of our existing products. During the
three months ended June 30, 2025, we launched three new brands in India.
According to IQVIA in its
report for the three months ended June 30, 2025, our secondary sales in India increased by 11.2% during such period, as compared to the
India pharmaceutical market’s increase of 8.6%.
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, which primarily consists of
Brazil, South Africa, Vietnam, China, and Colombia) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were Rs.14,042 million, an increase of 18%
as compared to Rs.11,878 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the year ended March 31, 2025, we launched 85 new products
across geographies in Emerging Markets.
Russia: Our Global
Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were Rs.7,082 million, an increase of 28% as compared
to Rs.5,547 million for the three months ended June 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 17%. The increase in revenues in absolute currency
was primarily on account of an increase in sales volumes of certain of our existing products. Our over-the-counter (“OTC”)
division’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were 49% of our total revenues from Russia.
According to IQVIA, as per
its report for the three months ended May 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.1,952 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 2% as compared to Rs.1,917 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was largely attributable to an increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products
and additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025, both of which were 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 our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s
revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.5,008 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase
of 13% as compared to Rs.4,414 million for the three months ended June 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
an increase in the sales volumes of certain of our existing products and additional revenues from new products launched between July 1,
2024 and June 30, 2025, both of which were partially offset by a decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products.
Pharmaceutical Services
and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)
Our PSAI segment’s
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were Rs.8,181 million, an increase of 7% as compared to Rs.7,657 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was largely attributable to additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2024
and June 30, 2025 and an increase in sales volumes of certain of our existing products, both of which were partially offset by a decrease
in sales prices of certain of our existing products.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2025, no U.S. Drug Master Files (“DMFs”) was filed. Cumulatively, our total active worldwide DMFs as of June 30,
2025, were 1,638, including 264 active DMFs in the United States.
Gross Profit
Our total gross profit was
Rs.48,627 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing 56.9% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.46,344
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing 60.4% of our revenues for that period.

The gross profit from our
Global Generics segment decreased to 60.9% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 64.7% for the
three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly on account of price erosion in certain of our products, primarily in the United
States, Europe and “Rest of the World” markets, partially offset by favourable changes in our product mix (i.e., in the proportion
of our sales of products having higher profit margins).
The gross profits from our
PSAI segment decreased to 13.2% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 23.1% for the three months
ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily on account of higher inventory overheads and lower manufacturing costs leverage, both
of which were partially offset by lower material costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Our selling, general and
administrative expenses were Rs.25,647 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 13% as compared to Rs.22,691 million
for the three months ended June 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 9% increase due to higher selling and marketing
expenses; |
| · | a 4% increase due to higher manpower expenses,
primarily on account of annual raises and an increase in personnel; |
| · | a 3% increase due to increased amortization and
other expenses; and |
| · | the foregoing was partially offset by a 3% decrease
due to lower legal and professional expenses as well as freight expenses. |
As a proportion of our total
revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 30.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 29.6% for
the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Research and development expenses
Our research and development
expenses were Rs.6,244 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.6,193 million for the three months ended June
30, 2024. This increase was largely on account of higher developmental expenditures on certain projects in our biosimilars business and
our Global Generics segment.
As a proportion of our total
revenues, our research and development expenses decreased to 7.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 8.1% for
the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Impairment of non-current assets
There was no impairment for
the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a charge of Rs.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Finance income, net
Our net finance income was
Rs.1,570 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net finance income of Rs.837 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2024.
This increase in net finance income was largely
attributable to the following:
| · | an increase of net foreign exchange gain to Rs.542
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net foreign exchange loss of Rs.200 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2024; |
| · | an increase in net interest income to Rs.298
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net interest income of Rs.146 million for the three months ended June
30, 2024; and |
| · | the foregoing was partially offset by a decrease
in fair value changes and profit on sale of units of mutual funds and other investments to Rs.730 million for the three months ended June
30, 2025, as compared to Rs.891 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. |
Profit before tax
As a result of the above,
our profit before tax was Rs.19,047 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.18,821 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024.
Tax expense
Our consolidated weighted
average tax rate was 25.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 26.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Our tax expense was Rs.4,951
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.4,901 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Profit for the period
As a result of the above,
our net profit was Rs.14,096 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing 16.5% of our total revenues for such period,
as compared to Rs.13,920 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing 18.1% of our total revenues for such period.
Profit after tax attributable
to the equity holders of the parent company was Rs.14,178 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing 16.6% of our
total revenues for such period.
ITEM 3. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have primarily financed
our operations through cash flows generated from operations and a mix of long-term and short-term borrowings. Our principal liquidity
and capital needs are for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, regular business operations and research and development.
Our principal sources of
short-term liquidity are internally generated funds and short-term borrowings, which we believe are sufficient to meet our working capital
requirements.

In addition to cash, inventory

with banks as of June 30, 2025.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The result of operating activities
was a net cash inflow of Rs.14,629 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a cash inflow of Rs.8,496 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in net cash
inflow of Rs.6,133 million was primarily due to a decrease in our working capital requirements.
Our average days’ sales
outstanding (“DSO”) as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were 93 days and 95 days, respectively.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Our investing activities
resulted in net cash outflows of Rs.19,192 million and Rs.20,248 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
This change was primarily on account of the following:
| · | Purchase of other investments, net of sale, of
Rs.9,861 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.14,470 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024;
and |
| · | the acquisition of property, plant and equipment,
and other intangible assets, net of dispositions, of Rs.10,115 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.6,224
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our financing activities
resulted in net cash outflows of Rs.1,203 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net cash inflows of Rs.9,541 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily on account of the following:
| · | net proceeds from short-term borrowings of Rs.70
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.10,566 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024; and |
| · | interest paid of Rs.1,143 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs.744 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. |
