Announcement under Regulation 30 (LODR) - In relation to Litigation in the United states
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Vadilal Dairy International disclosed an update on a long-running family dispute related to a 1993 Family Agreement over distribution of Vadilal products in the United States. The Ahmedabad group (Vadilal International Pvt. Ltd. and Vadilal Industries USA) raised the dispute, while the Vadilal Bombay group (the listed entity's side) has been defending its contractual rights. On August 11, 2025, the US court stayed proceedings until November 10, 2025 and directed both parties to arbitrate in Mumbai, India. No settlement has been reached. The company stated that only legal costs are expected from the process, with no material financial impact on operations anticipated at this stage.
Shareholders should note this is a procedural update, not an adverse ruling. The court staying proceedings in favor of Mumbai-based arbitration may be modestly favorable for the listed entity, and normal business operations remain unaffected. Investors should watch for further developments around the November 2025 timeline.
