Dr. Reddy's Partners Takeda for Exclusive Dengue Vaccine Distribution in India
Dr. Reddy's will exclusively distribute and market Takeda's dengue vaccine, Qdenga®, in India's private market. The vaccine, India's first approved dengue vaccine, is expected to be available in the first half of 2027. This collaboration aims to strengthen Dr. Reddy's vaccine portfolio and address dengue prevention.
This is a strategic partnership for vaccine distribution, which is expected to have a medium-term impact on Dr. Reddy's revenue and market position in the healthcare sector.
The partnership is positive as it expands Dr. Reddy's vaccine portfolio and addresses a significant public health issue in India with a new vaccine.
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited has entered into an exclusive distribution and marketing agreement with Takeda Biopharmaceuticals India Private Limited for Qdenga®, a dengue vaccine, in the private market in India. The agreement, effective September 18, 2026, designates Dr. Reddy's for the distribution and marketing of Qdenga® in India's private sector, while Takeda will retain commercialization rights for the public market and will be responsible for manufacturing and importation of the vaccine.
This strategic collaboration is aligned with Dr. Reddy's objective to bolster its vaccines business in India and contribute to public health initiatives addressing the significant burden of dengue. Qdenga® is India's first CDSCO-approved dengue vaccine, greenlit for individuals aged 4 to 60 years. The vaccine is anticipated to be available in the first half of 2027.
The partnership leverages Takeda's global expertise in dengue and vaccine development with Dr. Reddy's extensive healthcare network and commercial reach across India. Both companies will focus on disease awareness, promotion, and distribution of Qdenga® in the private market. Takeda will maintain legal ownership and overall medical and brand oversight for Qdenga® in India, with exclusive rights for the public market.
