Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Customs Adjudication authority in Mumbai passed an order against LG Electronics India demanding differential duty of Rs 27.4 crore for denying customs duty exemption on imports of digital signage and parts. Additional charges include a Rs 15 crore redemption fine and a penalty equal to the differential duty amount with interest. Total potential exposure could reach about Rs 89 crore. The company has already paid about Rs 4.9 crore voluntarily and plans to file an appeal. Management says no impact on operations is expected.
Up to Rs 89 crore financial exposure from customs order, but company plans to appeal and sees no operational impact. Near-term overhang on stock.
