Dr Reddy's Laboratories will begin supplying Sputnik V coronavirus vaccines, imported from Russia, in May. The drug major is also going to tap domestically sourced jabs as their production speeds up in India.
However, the vaccine's pricing, along with how many doses will be supplied at the outset, has not been determined yet.
Meanwhile, talks between the Centre and the Hyderabad-based drug major are on. Dr Reddy's is the sole licensing partner for Sputnik V in India.
India is the most populated country to register the vaccine and is also the leading production hub for Sputnik V, it added.
In September 2020, Dr Reddy's had partnered with the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) to conduct clinical trials of Sputnik V and distribute the vaccine in India.
In addition to the trials conducted in Russia by RDIF, phase II/III clinical trials of the vaccine were carried out by Dr Reddy's in India.
