According to sources cited by CNBC Awaaz, Natco Pharma is planning to acquire a majority stake in Adcock Holdings, a South Africa-based pharmaceutical company. The Hyderabad-headquartered drug maker is reportedly in talks to take control of Adcock, which is known for its portfolio of generic and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines across Africa.

Adcock Ingram, the parent entity, has a significant presence in the African pharmaceutical market, offering a range of generic and OTC products catering to local healthcare needs.

This potential acquisition could mark a strategic expansion for Natco into the African healthcare market.

The deal, if it materializes, would strengthen Natco’s international footprint and diversify its revenue streams into emerging markets.
