The company has largely won the litigation, with a significant portion of the demand being dropped. While a small penalty and balance demand remain, the company's stance on appealing and the expectation of no major financial implication contribute to a positive sentiment.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has received an adjudication order from the Assistant Commissioner (ST), Commercial Tax Department, Telangana. The order, received on January 1, 2026, pertains to a demand raised via a Show Cause Notice for the Financial Year 2021-22, initially amounting to ₹184.55 crore.
The Adjudicating Authority has passed an order in favor of BHEL, dropping the demand amounting to ₹183.77 crore, along with interest and penalty. The dispute was related to tax demanded for the export of goods beyond the prescribed time period, although the export had already been completed.
However, a penalty of ₹0.07 crore has been imposed. For the balance demand of ₹1.43 crore (comprising a demand of ₹0.78 crore, interest of ₹0.58 crore, and penalty of ₹0.07 crore), BHEL plans to file an appeal before the Appellate Authorities. The company expects no significant financial implication as the case is considered strong on merits.
