Why Dr Reddy's Laboratories share price hit 52-week high

The shares of Dr Reddy's Laboratories rose over 2% to hit a 52-week high of Rs 5,024 on 19 June after the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) cleared the pharma company's Bollaram active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) manufacturing facility with zero observations.

The inspection was conducted from 12 June to 16 June 2023.

The US drug regulator also issued an establishment inspection report (EIR) for Dr Reddy's Laboratories formulations manufacturing facility in Srikakulam with voluntary action indicated (VAI) classification.

The FDA issues a VAI classification when it finds objectionable conditions but chooses not to take or recommend regulatory action.

Intensive regulatory scrutiny has been an overhang for the Indian pharma companies in recent times, especially given the fact that sales from the US market account for a major chunk of revenues for these drug makers.
