Malaysia's IHH Healthcare has ramped up its legal front against Japan's Daiichi Sankyo, escalating its damage claim from an initial JPY 20 billion to a staggering JPY 200 billion in Tokyo District Court.
This legal move comes amidst allegations that Daiichi Sankyo obstructed IHH's efforts to acquire shares in Indian hospital chain Fortis Healthcare in 2018, resulting in severe financial implications for IHH's subsidiary, Northern TK Ventures (NTK).
IHH has asserted that Daiichi Sankyo's actions prevented the completion of NTK's open offer to Fortis shareholders, significantly impacting the company's operations and financial interests in the burgeoning Indian healthcare market.
