JSW Energy Share Price in Focus; Subsidiary Faces ₹1,447 Crore Water Dues Claim, Moves High Court

JSW Energy is in focus after its subsidiary received a significant regulatory demand related to water charges, leading to legal action against the claim. 

₹1,447 Crore Demand Raised by Authority 

JSW Mahanadi Power Company Limited, a subsidiary of JSW Energy, has received a demand notice of approximately ₹1,447.34 crore from the Water Resources Division in Chhattisgarh.  

The demand largely relates to a period prior to the approval of its resolution plan under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).  

Company’s Stand on Liability 

The company has stated that, based on the resolution plan approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in February 2025, all past liabilities up to that date stand extinguished. As per this, it believes that the current demand is not legally payable. 

Legal Challenge Initiated 

Following this, the subsidiary has moved the High Court of Chhattisgarh to challenge the demand.  

The company has also clarified that it is continuing to pay water charges on an ongoing basis after the implementation of the resolution plan.
