The company is challenging an order from FSSAI regarding product labels. While there are no immediate financial implications, the outcome of the litigation is uncertain. The company maintains its stance on compliance.
United Spirits Limited has filed a Writ Petition before the Hon’ble Bombay High Court challenging an order dated 29th June 2026 issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). The FSSAI order, issued under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, pertains to the sale of a product manufactured at the Company’s Baramati Unit, citing non-conformance of product labels with the FSSA provisions.
The Company, based on legal advice, believes that the declarations on the product labels are compliant with the current applicable legal and regulatory framework in India and align with long-standing industry practices. Consequently, United Spirits challenged the FSSAI order by filing the Writ Petition on 1st August 2026.
Currently, there are no material operational or financial implications arising from the FSSAI order. The Company is closely monitoring the situation and its potential impacts. United Spirits acknowledges certain media reports and a press release from FSSAI but refrains from further comment as the matter is sub judice. The issue is also being addressed with FSSAI by industry associations, including CIABC and ISWAI, as it represents an industry-wide concern.
This disclosure is being made on the first working day following the filing of the Writ Petition, with the delay attributed to the time required for fact verification with internal stakeholders.
