The notice, issued by the Water Resources Department, specifically targets USL's Nanded unit and is grounded in Section 49(J) of the Maharashtra Irrigation Act, 1976. It stipulates that the arrears, accumulated from November 2018 to April 2024, must be settled within seven days of receipt.
USL has promptly responded by filing a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, contesting the higher tariff imposed on its Nanded unit. As the matter is now subjudice, the company is in the process of evaluating its next steps in response to the notice.
Despite the severity of the notice, USL reassures stakeholders that it does not foresee any additional financial implications beyond what has already been accounted for or disclosed as contingent liabilities in its financial statements. The delay in addressing the notice stems from the thorough evaluation of its implications.
In summary, United Spirits Ltd faces a substantial financial claim from the Maharashtra government, challenging water charge arrears for its Nanded unit. The company's legal dispute and ongoing evaluation underscore its commitment to addressing the issue effectively while safeguarding its financial interests.
