Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
Reference is made to the follow-on comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contained in your letter dated June 8, 2010 requesting information in connection with Dr. Reddy’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (the “2009 Form 20-F”).
Our counsel, Budd Larner, P.C., made certain representations on our behalf in letters to you dated April 9, 2010 and June 17, 2010. We understand that you have requested that these representations be made directly by Dr. Reddy’s.
Accordingly, in connection with the aforementioned letters dated April 9, 2010 and June 17, 2010, Dr. Reddy’s hereby acknowledges that:
• | we are responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in our SEC filings; |
• | Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the SEC from taking any action with respect to our SEC filings; and |
• | we may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the SEC or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
Should you have any concerns or questions, please call me at the number listed above.
