UltraTech Cement has received an order from the Additional Commissioner of Central GST, Dehradun, confirming a tax demand of Rs. 53,81,19,148 (about Rs. 53.81 crore) along with an equal penalty of Rs. 53.81 crore, plus applicable interest. The order pertains to alleged differential tax liability and non-reversal of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the period FY 2019-20 to FY 2023-24. The total potential exposure is roughly Rs. 107.6 crore plus interest. The company has stated it will contest the demand and does not expect any material financial impact on its operations or financials.
The order itself is not material to UltraTech's overall financial position given its large scale, but the ~Rs. 108 crore combined demand plus interest is non-trivial. Since the company plans to appeal, the immediate impact on the stock is likely limited, though investors should watch for updates on the appeal outcome.
