IHH Healthcare's subsidiary Northern TK Ventures (NTK) has filed a JPY 200 billion (approximately ₹11,849 crore) damages claim against Japanese drugmaker Daiichi Sankyo, alleging obstruction in acquiring control of Fortis Healthcare. The Tokyo District Court concluded hearings and will deliver its judgment on September 10, 2026. The dispute stems from Daiichi's longstanding conflict with Fortis founders, the Singh brothers. IHH has sought its major shareholder Mitsui's help to initiate talks with Daiichi, signaling openness to an out-of-court resolution while continuing legal proceedings.
