The market read

The announcement is a public notice to clarify the company's stance on allegations made by a former employee. While it addresses potential reputational damage, it also asserts that legal challenges have been dismissed, presenting a factual and defensive tone rather than expressing positive or negative performance.

Deccan Cements Limited has issued a public notice to inform all stakeholders about ongoing defamatory actions by a former employee, Mr. Pasupuleti Suresh Babu. The company states that Mr. Babu was asked to resign due to behavioral issues and subsequently refused to vacate company quarters, leading to police involvement.

Following his resignation, Mr. Babu has allegedly been attempting to defame the company through various means, including filing frivolous cases in forums such as the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the Telangana High Court, and giving media bites. The company asserts that all appeals and petitions filed by Mr. Babu have been dismissed as baseless. Despite these dismissals, he and his associates reportedly continue to spread false information, creating defamatory impressions.

Deccan Cements urges all stakeholders to disregard these baseless allegations and requests media houses to exercise caution before publishing any news or articles based on unverified claims by Mr. Babu. The company maintains its commitment to environmental preservation and holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, and has been awarded a 5-Star rating by the Ministry of Mines for its sustainable development framework.
