BengaluruIndian drugmaker Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd reported nearly an eleven-fold surge in fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday, driven by higher sales from its mainstay generic drugs business in North America.

The Hyderabad-based company's consolidated profit rose to 9.59 billion rupees in the three months ended March 31, compared with 875 million rupees a year earlier.
The profit, however, missed analysts' expectations of 9.74 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
