U.S. drugmaker Eli Lilly expects to launch Mounjaro, its blockbuster diabetes drug and wildly popular obesity treatment, in India as early as next year after it clears an ongoing regulatory review, CEO David Ricks told Reuters on Wednesday.
Indian pharma companies have started developing their own versions of Novo Nordisk’s top-selling weight-loss medicine Wegovy (semaglutide), hoping for a piece of the multibillion-dollar obesity market.

Two Florida courts last week ruled in Novo Nordisk’s favor in its legal battle against wellness clinics and compounding pharmacies for marketing counterfeit or compounded versions of its popular weight-loss drug semaglutide.
For this study, published online in the journal Nature and funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, researchers reviewed data on 240,258 U.S. patients prescribed Wegovy or other medications for weight loss and nearly 1.6 million with type 2 diabetes prescribed Ozempic or other treatments.
