Key Financial Ratios

The company's R&D expenditure for FY26 stood at ₹18.35 million. Foreign exchange inflows were ₹1,498.79 million and outflows were ₹660.91 million during the year.

Hexagon Nutrition Limited received a customs duty demand and penalty aggregating to ₹1.04 crore from the Commissioner of Customs, Chennai III. The order, dated August 27, 2026, was issued against Hexagon Nutrition Exports Private Limited (HNEPL), a previously wholly owned subsidiary amalgamated with the parent company in January 2026.

The customs authority alleged misclassification of Combined Nomenclation (CTH) codes for products sold to Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) units. This classification error reportedly led to discrepancies in Basic Customs Duty and Social Welfare Surcharge payments.

Breakdown of Demand

The total financial impact outlined in the order includes specific components for duty, fines, and penalties. The company states that the immediate financial impact is limited to these amounts plus applicable interest.

The order was received on Saturday, August 29, 2026. Hexagon Nutrition initiated an internal review and sought legal counsel advice before making the disclosure on September 1, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Legal Response

The company strongly disagrees with the findings of the order. Management believes it has a strong case on merits and is preparing to file an appeal before the relevant appellate authority within statutory timelines. Hexagon Nutrition expects a favorable outcome at the appellate level and asserts there is no material impact on its operational activities.

What the Numbers Show

The customs duty component constitutes approximately 78% of the total ₹1.04 crore demand, indicating that the core dispute revolves around tariff classification rather than punitive measures alone. The relatively smaller fine and penalty portions suggest the authority viewed the misclassification as a procedural contravention rather than willful evasion, though the final determination rests with the appellate authority.
