Sterlite Technologies Limited Wins Partial Legal Victory in Kakinada Smart City Case
Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL) achieved a partial victory in a legal dispute concerning a Kakinada Smart City contract. The High Court of Andhra Pradesh partly allowed the company's writ petition. The case's contingent benefits now belong to STL Networks Limited, following a demerger effective March 31, 2025.
The litigation was related to a demerged business, and the outcome is only a partial win, thus the impact is considered medium.
The company has received a partial favorable outcome in a legal matter, which is a positive development.
Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL) has received a partial positive outcome in a writ petition filed against the State of Andhra Pradesh, Kakinada Smart City Corporation Limited, and others. The Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati has partly allowed the petition concerning a contract for the development and implementation of Smart City Solutions in Kakinada. This legal matter originally related to the Company's Global Services Business.
It is important to note that STL’s Global Services Business was demerged into STL Networks Limited, effective March 31, 2025, following an order from the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai, dated February 14, 2025. Consequently, any contingent gain or benefit arising from this legal matter now pertains to STL Networks Limited.
STL Networks Limited has subsequently filed the required disclosure concerning this development with BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited on August 20, 2026, in compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations and the relevant SEBI Master Circular.
