Mahadhan AgriTech, Subsidiary of Deepak Fertilisers, Faces ₹54.88 Lakh Penalty
Deepak Fertilizers' subsidiary, Mahadhan AgriTech, received a penalty order of ₹54.88 lakh from CGST & Central Excise for disallowing CEN VAT Credit. The company plans to challenge the order, stating no material financial impact.
The company explicitly stated that there is no material impact on its financials, operations, or other activities, making the impact low.
The penalty imposed on the subsidiary is a negative development, but the company's assertion of no material impact and its intention to challenge the order mitigate the overall sentiment to neutral.
Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (DEEPAKFERT) has disclosed that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mahadhan AgriTech Limited (MAL), has received an order from the Assistant Commissioner, CGST & Central Excise, Division V, Raigad. The order, dated 25th March 2026, imposes a total demand of ₹54,88,146, comprising a tax demand of ₹27,44,073, applicable interest, and a penalty of ₹27,44,073.
The action taken pertains to the disallowance of CEN VAT Credit. The order was passed on 25th March 2026 and received by MAL on 20th April 2026. MAL, however, holds a legal view that the demand is not tenable and intends to challenge the order at an appropriate forum, believing it is liable to be set aside in appeal.
The company has stated that there is no material impact on the financials, operations, or other activities of DEEPAKFERT, quantifiable in monetary terms. This information will also be made available on the company's website, www.dfpcl.com.
