On 9 August 2025, the Superintendent of Customs and the Appraising Officer of Customs, Hyderabad, seized capital goods (machinery) imported by Ahlada Engineers under the EPCG (Export Promotion of Capital Goods) scheme during 2017, 2018, and 2019. The company says the seizure happened without notice, a showcause, or consideration of its pending applications for export obligation extensions filed with the DGFT. Ahlada argues the customs action is unjustified and is preparing to file petitions in court. The company has acknowledged that operations will be affected due to the seizure of these capital goods.
This is a negative event for shareholders — the seizure of core capital goods could disrupt the company's operations and its ability to meet export obligations, and the legal battle may add to costs. However, the issue is tied to a regulatory dispute (export obligation compliance) rather than anything like fraud, and the company is contesting the action, so the final outcome is still uncertain.
