The matter is being investigated with “utmost priority and appropriate containment and remediation actions are being taken in a controlled manner to address the incident,” the company said in regulatory filing on Thursday.
It said “please be informed that an information-security incident has occurred at the company and the impacted IT assets have been isolated,” but did not elaborate on the incident. The company’s shares closed at 2.10% lower at ₹273.05 each on the BSE.

In 2020 , Dr. Reddy’s faced a ransomware attack and Lupin an information-security incident.
