AI summary

Hindustan Zinc, Vedanta's subsidiary, received a GST authority order dated October 1, 2025, imposing a Rs 73.46 lakh penalty, plus tax and interest. It concerns reversal of tax credit claimed on cement used in mines from July 2016 to June 2017. HZL plans to appeal and expects no material financial impact.

Likely market impact

HZL expects no material financial impact and plans to appeal, limiting the likely effect on Vedanta. Tax and interest increase exposure if the order stands.
