Dr. Reddy's Plans Semaglutide Launch in Canada and India Amid Margin Outlook

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories is preparing to launch a generic version of semaglutide in Canada following regulatory approval, while also expanding its oral semaglutide offerings in India. The company plans to enter 80 countries over two years. Despite a challenging Q4 with profit declines due to one-off charges and patent expiries, management expects EBITDA margins around 20% in FY27, with potential growth to 25% driven by new products like semaglutide.
