Exicom Tele-Systems received a customs order on August 31, 2026, regarding goods classification. The order imposes a duty liability of ₹14.49 crore and penalties on the company and its key management. The company plans to appeal, expecting no material financial or operational impact.
The order imposes a substantial customs duty and penalties on the company and its management, which could potentially impact financials if the appeal is unsuccessful. However, the company's assessment of no material impact mitigates the immediate financial risk.
The company received an adverse order from customs authorities imposing a significant duty and penalties. However, the company believes its classification was correct and plans to appeal, stating no material financial or operational impact is expected. This creates uncertainty but also confidence from the company.
Exicom Tele-Systems Limited announced on August 31, 2026, that it has received an Order-in-Original dated August 21, 2026, from the Principal Commissioner of Customs (Import), Inland Container Depot, Tughlakabad, New Delhi.

The Customs Authority has adopted a different classification view than the one taken by Exicom, leading to a customs duty liability along with applicable interest and penalties.

Additionally, penalties have been imposed on the company, its Managing Director & CEO, Mr. Anant Nahata, Whole-time Director, Mr. Vivekanand Kumar, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Shiraz Khanna.
Exicom Tele-Systems believes its classification was in accordance with the law and intends to pursue appropriate legal remedies, including filing an appeal against the Order within the prescribed time limit. The company has consistently strived for legal and regulatory compliance.
While the order is dated August 21, 2026, it was physically received by the company on August 29, 2026. The disclosure was made promptly on August 31, 2026, after the order was brought to the attention of the concerned officials. Based on its current assessment, the company does not anticipate any material financial impact or impact on its operations due to this order.
