Nagarjuna Fertilizers faces High Court order for USD 16.4M award enforcement
Nagarjuna Fertilizers faces a Bombay High Court order to enforce an international arbitration award of USD 16.4 million and GBP 606,628. The company disputes the award, citing manipulated documents, and is pursuing appeals in the Supreme Court. A criminal complaint has also been filed against the supplier.
The judgment involves a substantial financial award (USD 16.4 million and GBP 606,628) and ongoing legal proceedings at the Supreme Court level, which could have a significant financial and operational impact on the company.
The company has been directed by the High Court to deposit a significant sum of money related to an arbitration award, which it contests. The ongoing legal battles and potential financial liabilities negatively impact the sentiment.
Nagarjuna Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited has received a judgment from the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay dated March 05, 2026, concerning enforcement proceedings related to an International Arbitration Award passed against the company in September 2016. The award, in favor of M/s. Trammo DMCC, pertains to purported contracts for fertilizer purchases.
The company has been directed to deposit aggregate principal sums of USD 16,427,310.80 (approximately ₹136.5 crore) and GBP 606,628.29 (approximately ₹6.4 crore) along with applicable interest before the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay. A formal communication of this order, after assessment, was made on March 27, 2026.
Nagarjuna Fertilizers maintains that the arbitration award was obtained through manipulated documents and misrepresentation of facts by the supplier. Consequently, the company has been contesting the enforcement of the award and has also filed a criminal complaint against the supplier and its officials. Aggrieved by the High Court's judgment, the company is proceeding with a Special Leave Petition before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and a curative petition regarding the criminal case.
