Vishal Mega Mart Limited (VMM) announced that its subsidiary, Airplaza Retail Holdings Private Limited, has received an order from the Court of the Adjudicating Officer - Cum - Additional Deputy Commissioner, Rewari.
The order imposes a penalty of ₹1,00,000 (Rupees One Lakh Only) upon the subsidiary.
This penalty stems from a violation of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The issue arose when a Food Safety Officer inspected the subsidiary's store in Rewari on September 20, 2024, and collected a sample of 'Maida' for analysis. Subsequently, a complaint was filed alleging violations of the Act.
The company stated that the financial impact of this order is limited to the penalty amount. There is no material impact on the operations or other activities of Vishal Mega Mart Limited, as the product in question was third-party manufactured and the penalty amount will be recovered from the concerned manufacturer. The subsidiary is currently reviewing the order and evaluating its next steps.
