Suraj Industries Faces Rs 2 Crore Trademark Infringement Lawsuit from Globus Spirits

Suraj Industries finds itself embroiled in a legal battle as Globus Spirits Ltd files a trademark infringement lawsuit against the company and its subsidiary, Carya Chemicals & Fertilizers Pvt Ltd. The case, filed in the Delhi High Court, has resulted in an ex-parte ad-interim injunction against Suraj Industries.

Legal Proceedings

Globus Spirits Ltd has initiated Commercial Suit No. 1052/2025 in the Delhi High Court, alleging trademark infringement and passing off by Suraj Industries and its subsidiary. The court has issued an ex-parte ad-interim injunction, a temporary order made without hearing the defendant's side.

Financial Implications

The lawsuit seeks damages of Rs 2.00 crore from Suraj Industries. However, the company has stated that it does not accept any of the allegations or claims made by Globus Spirits Ltd.

Suraj Industries' Response

Suraj Industries has categorically denied all allegations of trademark infringement. The company maintains that both it and its subsidiary have been selling liquor products under labels duly approved by the Excise Department, Government of Rajasthan.

In a statement to the BSE, Snehlata Sharma, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer of Suraj Industries, said, "The Company is of the considered view that neither it nor its Subsidiary has committed any act of infringement and/or passing off." The company further stated that it considers the ex-parte order legally unsustainable.

Next Steps

Suraj Industries and its subsidiary have reserved all rights, remedies, and defenses available to them under the law. The company's response suggests it intends to contest the allegations vigorously in court.

This legal dispute highlights the importance of intellectual property rights in the liquor industry and may have implications for how companies navigate trademark issues in the future. Investors and industry observers will likely be watching closely as this case unfolds in the Delhi High Court.

Suraj Industries Limited (BSE: 526211) has announced the rescheduling of its Rights Issue Committee meeting, which was originally set for September 22, 2025. The postponement comes as the company awaits in-principle approval from BSE Limited for its proposed rights issue.

Delayed Meeting and Pending Approval

The Rights Issue Committee meeting was intended to determine crucial aspects of the upcoming rights issue, including the issue price and other terms. However, the company has been forced to delay the meeting due to the pending approval from BSE Limited. Suraj Industries has stated that a new date for the meeting will be announced in due course.

Trading Window Closure

In line with regulatory requirements, Suraj Industries has confirmed that the trading window for the company's securities will remain closed. This closure will extend until 48 hours after the conclusion of the rescheduled Rights Issue Committee meeting, in compliance with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 and the company's code of conduct for prevention of Insider Trading.

Recent Corporate Developments

While the rights issue process is ongoing, Suraj Industries has also made progress on another significant corporate matter. On September 22, 2025, the company received approval from the Central Government (Regional Director, Northern Region) for shifting its registered office. The order, dated September 19, 2025, grants permission to move the registered office from the State of Himachal Pradesh to the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi.

This relocation of the registered office follows the company's earlier intimations and the outcome of an Extraordinary General Meeting held on May 30, 2024, where shareholders approved the move.
