Kirloskar Brothers Limited has announced that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, in an order dated January 9, 2026, has made the interim stay earlier granted on October 17, 2025, absolute. This stay was on the order of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court dated October 11, 2025, which had in turn stayed an earlier order from October 10, 2025. The Supreme Court clarified that its observations in the interim orders are not to be treated as opinions on the merits of the case. The parties are permitted to raise all contentions available to them in facts and law.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court has further requested the Hon’ble Bombay High Court to expedite the disposal of the pending appeal, preferably within three months from the date the order is placed before it.

The company received a copy of the Supreme Court’s order on January 13, 2026. The expected financial implications of this ongoing litigation cannot be ascertained at this juncture. Kirloskar Brothers Limited will continue to keep the exchanges informed of any further developments.
