Claim Rejected: ₹ 908 crore claim unanimously rejected by Tribunal
Amount Directed to Pay: ₹ 1 crore principal, along with interest and certain costs
Final Award Date: October 15, 2026

What the company informed the exchanges

The company has intimated BSE and NSE about a final award passed by a three-member Tribunal of the Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration, dated October 15, 2026.

The background is that Allied Silica Limited and its promoter had shared a Statement of Claim for ₹ 908 crore against the company in arbitration proceedings under the rules of the MCIA.

What the award says

The Tribunal unanimously rejected the claim of ₹ 908 crore against the company.
The majority members of the Tribunal have directed the company to pay a principal amount of ₹ 1 crore, along with interest and certain costs, to Allied Silica Limited.
The dissenting member rejected this direction — that is, the direction to pay the principal amount with interest and costs.

How the two figures compare

The claim made against the company was ₹ 908 crore. The principal amount the company has been directed to pay is ₹ 1 crore, together with interest and certain costs. So the direction to pay concerns a much smaller principal sum than the amount claimed, and the extra amounts come as interest and costs on that principal.

What the company says next

The company has stated that it is currently examining the final award and will evaluate its future course of action. In simple terms, the company is reviewing the award and has not indicated a final position on how it will proceed.

What this means in plain terms

A large claim made against the company in arbitration has been rejected by the Tribunal.
At the same time, the majority of the Tribunal has directed a payment of ₹ 1 crore as principal, plus interest and certain costs.
The rejection of the claim was unanimous, while the direction to pay was the majority view, with one member dissenting.

How this may be seen

For a reader tracking the company, this update is about the outcome of a legal proceeding rather than about routine operations. The claim that was shared against the company has been rejected, and a much smaller principal amount has been directed to be paid along with interest and costs, with the company yet to decide its future course of action.
