AWL Agri Business has disclosed that it received a penalty order from the Office of the Principal Commissioner of Customs, Ahmedabad under the Customs Act, 1962. A penalty of Rs. 2,75,000 (Rs. 2.75 lakhs) has been imposed on the company. The order, dated 27th February 2026, was received by the company on 13th March 2026. The issue relates to MEIS (Merchandise Exports from India Scheme) scrips that the company purchased from a third party and used for paying customs duty — these scrips were found to have been wrongly availed by the original exporter. The company is planning to appeal the order before the appropriate authority and has stated that it does not foresee any material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities.
The penalty is small in monetary terms (Rs. 2.75 lakhs) and the company expects no material impact on its financials or operations. The decision to appeal suggests the company believes the order can be challenged, keeping the matter largely a routine regulatory disclosure with negligible effect on shareholders or stock price.
