Megastar Foods corrects ₹36.68 Cr alleged fee amount

AI Summary

Megastar Foods Ltd has issued a revised disclosure correcting an error in a previous filing regarding a notice from Market Committee, Rupnagar. The original disclosure mistakenly stated the alleged Market Committee Fee and RDF Fee as ₹36,568,59,110/-, which has now been corrected to ₹36,68,59,110/- for each. The notice, received on April 13, 2026, alleges non-payment of these fees and failure to procure an appropriate license.

The company plans to address the matter with the Board and pursue legal recourse, expecting no immediate financial impact.
