    The settlement was reached through Sun’s U.S. subsidiaries — Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and Taro Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. — which will compensate consumers who were allegedly overcharged for 18 generic drugs. Per Bloomberg, this agreement resolves all claims against the two companies without them admitting to any wrongdoing. The final terms are still subject to court approval.

    According to a filing with Indian stock exchanges, Sun Pharma noted that the $200 million settlement amount could be adjusted downward if a substantial portion of the class members choose to opt out of the lawsuit.

    Sun Pharma, India’s largest drugmaker, generated $6.1 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2025, with about one-third of its sales stemming from the U.S. market. Among its best-selling generics in the United States is Revlimid, a treatment for multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting plasma cells.

    The case is part of a broader series of potential class action lawsuits involving several pharmaceutical manufacturers accused of inflating prices on widely-used generic drugs. The U.S. government and private consumers have increasingly targeted these companies in recent years amid concerns over rising healthcare costs.

    In addition to the antitrust settlement, Sun Pharma also resolved a separate patent dispute this month with Incyte Corp. over the hair loss treatment Leqselvi. As part of that agreement, Sun secured licensing rights to market the drug in the U.S., though financial terms were not disclosed, according to Bloomberg.
