HOEC informed exchanges about an update on the enforcement petition filed by Hardy Exploration and Production (India) Inc. related to a Feb 2020 foreign arbitration award. The Madras High Court dismissed HEPI's interim relief application on October 28, 2025. HOEC has furnished a Bank Guarantee of Rs 15.12 crores as interim arrangement, matching the previously disclosed USD 1.16 million claim. This amount was already reported as contingent liability since FY 2020-21. Final liability remains subject to the Gujarat High Court outcome.
Procedural update with no material impact on operations or financials. Final outcome pending Gujarat High Court decision.
