AI summary

Dr. Reddy's has terminated its February 2022 agreement with Novartis India Limited for distributing and promoting select brands in India. The termination follows a change in Novartis India's controlling shareholding. Dr. Reddy's will continue to commercialise these brands until 30 September 2026, allowing a transition period.

Likely market impact

Distribution agreement for select brands ends after 30 Sep 2026 transition; may affect future revenue from these brands but smooth handover planned.
