The company had filed a Special Leave Petition and secured a 6-month extension to make the payment, which has now been remitted via the Court of Small Causes at Mumbai. With this payment, the litigation stands fully closed. The company clarifies there is no impact on its operations.

Likely market impact

Shareholders should note a one-time cash outflow of Rs. 41.02 Crore to close a decades-old legal liability, but with no disruption to ongoing business operations.
