Vishal Mega Mart Limited disclosed on August 17, 2026, that its subsidiary, Airplaza Retail Holdings Private Limited, has received an interim order from the Commercial Court at Rajarhat in West Bengal regarding a legal dispute with landlord Flowers Valley Floriculture Private Limited.
The court has directed the subsidiary to pay ₹2,68,31,676 towards contractual rent and applicable GST for the period from April 2020 to December 18, 2020. Additionally, the order mandates the subsidiary to vacate and hand over peaceful possession of the entire suit property, including parking spaces, within two months. The property is located at Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue (VIP Road), Jyangra, P.S. Rajarhat, Kolkata-700059.
Order details
The disclosure, made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, outlines the specific directives issued by the authority.
| Particulars: | Details |
|---|---|
| Authority: | Commercial Court at Rajarhat, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal |
| Amount ordered: | ₹2,68,31,676 |
| Date of receipt: | August 17, 2026 |
| Vacate deadline: | Within two months |
Financial implications
The dispute involves a claim for mesne profits at the rate of ₹2,00,000 per day from December 19, 2020, until the recovery of peaceful possession of the premises. Vishal Mega Mart stated that the financial impact of the order is limited to the decreed amount mentioned above.
What the numbers show
The court's directive imposes a dual burden on the subsidiary: an immediate cash outflow of nearly ₹2.68 crore for past dues and a daily accrual liability of ₹2,00,000 for continued occupation beyond the specified deadline. This structure indicates that the primary financial risk escalates significantly if the eviction timeline is not met or if the appeal process extends the occupancy period without possession being handed over.
Company response
Airplaza Retail Holdings is reviewing the order and intends to file an appeal challenging the decision. The listed entity has not provided further details on the potential duration of the appeal process or additional costs associated with the litigation.
