Dr Reddy's Laboratories rose 1.10% to Rs 4300 after a US court dismissed all claims against the pharma major in an anti-trust complaint pertaining to cancer drug Revlimid.

On 22 November 2022, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the company) were named as defendants, along with Celgene, Bristol Myers Squibb, and several other generic pharmaceutical companies, in a complaint that asserts claimed under federal and state antitrust law and other state laws alleging that defendants improperly restrained competition and maintained a shared monopoly in the sale of brand and generic Revlimid in the United States.

On 22 December 2022 and 27 December 2022, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc., respectively, from the case. All claims against the company in the litigation have now been dismissed.
