Vedanta Limited Discloses Supreme Court Ruling Against Subsidiary TSPL, ₹127 Crore Penalty Confirmed
Vedanta Limited's subsidiary, TSPL, faces a penalty of approximately ₹127 crore plus late payment surcharge following a Supreme Court ruling on May 20, 2026. The court upheld a penalty for misdeclaration of availability in January 2017.
The penalty of ₹127 crore is a significant amount for the subsidiary, impacting its financials. However, it is not considered a material event for the consolidated Vedanta Limited at this stage.
The Supreme Court has upheld a penalty of approximately ₹127 crore against Vedanta's subsidiary, TSPL, which is a negative financial impact.
Vedanta Limited has disclosed a judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India against its subsidiary, Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL). The Supreme Court, in an order dated May 20, 2026, set aside a previous judgment by the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL). It restored an earlier order by the Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSERC) and allowed appeals filed by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL).
The ruling upholds an alleged penalty on TSPL for misdeclaring availability in January 2017, as per the Grid Code. Consequently, TSPL is liable to pay approximately ₹127 crore, along with applicable Late Payment Surcharge, to PSPCL.
This disclosure is made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, as TSPL's equity shares are in the process of listing on BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited following the demerger of the Merchant Power Undertaking from Vedanta Limited.
