Business Standard
|December 11, 2025
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday allowed Sun Pharma to manufacture and export its semaglutide-based weight-loss drugs, but restricted its sale in India till Novo Nordisk’s secondary patent expires in March 2026.
The pharma company has been allowed to export the semaglutide-based weight-loss drugs only to jurisdictions where Novo Nordisk, the Danish firm that manufactures Ozempic, does not hold a patent.
Delivering the order, Justice Pritam Singh Arora directed Sun Pharma to give an undertaking confirming this to the court in two weeks.
