Key Developments and Litigation Updates

The company provided updates on two significant legal matters. Regarding the insurance claim recoverable of ₹1,341.05 crore relating to a fire incident at Daawat Foods Limited in FY15, the Group considers the carrying value appropriate as of June 30, 2026. The matter remains sub-judice before the High Court of Madhya Pradesh, with the Supreme Court having previously ordered the deposit of the decretal amount. The subsidiary renewed the bank guarantee for ₹2,650.35 crore in April 2026.

Additionally, the US Department of Commerce reduced the countervailing duty (CVD) rate on organic soybean meal exports by subsidiary Ecopure Specialities Limited from 340.27% to 75.48% in its final order dated February 23, 2026. Ecopure has filed an appeal with the United States Court of International Trade, which issued an injunction on May 11, 2026, halting liquidation of entries pending final outcome. Management believes it has a strong legal position and does not expect a material impact on financial results.
