Kalpataru Retail Ventures Limited (KRVL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kalpataru Limited, is facing a demand of ₹63.49 crore following a final assessment order issued by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL). The order, dated July 07, 2026, was issued under Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003, alleging violations related to the passing of electricity to retailers within mall premises. The dispute stems from a provisional assessment order previously challenged by KRVL through a Writ Petition filed before the Hon''ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay. While the petition was pending, MSEDCL proceeded to issue the final assessment order. In response, the High Court passed an order on July 9, 2026, in Writ Petition No. 8455 of 2026, directing KRVL to deposit 50% of the assessed amount with the Court Registry within three weeks from the date of the order. KRVL has stated that it believes the demand is without legal basis and is liable to be set aside or quashed.
Kalpataru Projects International Limited announced on Tuesday that its step-down subsidiary has incorporated a new wholly owned company in India to enhance its operational footprint. According to reports from The Hindu BusinessLine, Linjemontage I Grästorp AB (LMG AB), a first-level step-down subsidiary of Kalpataru Projects, incorporated LM Operation Center India Private Limited on August 14, 2026. The intimation was submitted after the company received the Certificate of Incorporation from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on September 1, 2026, at approximately 1:02 p.m. IST. The disclosure was made to the exchanges under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. As per The Hindu BusinessLine, Gajendra Mewara, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, signed the disclosure on behalf of the company at 8:15 p.m. on July 10, 2026.
The new entity has been established with an authorised capital of ₹3 crore, comprising 30 lakh equity shares of ₹10 each. As reported by The Hindu BusinessLine, the subscribed capital stands at ₹1.5 crore, with LMG AB and its nominee shareholder subscribing to 100 per cent of the equity shares through cash via banking channels. LMG AB holds the entire 100 per cent shareholding in the new entity, which is yet to commence business operations and has no turnover history to report. The subscribed capital represents 15 lakh equity shares out of the total authorized capital.
According to the company announcement, LM Operation Center India Private Limited has been set up to establish an operation centre in India to enhance LMG AB's project and engineering execution capabilities. The transaction qualifies as a related party transaction since a step-down subsidiary of Kalpataru Projects has subscribed to the full equity of the new entity. However, the company clarified that the promoter, promoter group, or any other group company does not hold any interest in the target entity. No governmental or regulatory approvals are required for this incorporation, as confirmed by the company.
