Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], October 5: SEPC Limited (NSE: SEPC | BSE: 532945), a leading EPC company with established expertise in industrial infrastructure, process plants, water and wastewater management, has announced that the Hon’ble High Court of Madras, through its Common Order dated September 30, 2026, has brought a full and final closure to the execution proceedings filed against the Company and other co-parties by the Award Holders. The Court has terminated all the related Execution Petitions and closed all connected pending applications, following a Joint Memo of Compromise executed between the parties.

The order marks a significant positive development for SEPC. The attachment on the Company’s receivables of ₹154 crore has been removed with immediate effect, and all restrictions on its banking operations have been completely lifted.

Key Highlights of the Order

  • Full and final settlement: The parties agreed to a total settlement of ₹149.5 crore, comprising a Demand Draft of ₹147 crore submitted before the Court and ₹2.5 crore already lying to the credit of the Court, which will be paid to the Award Holders.
  • Nil outflow for SEPC: The settlement amount has been paid entirely by another party under a 2015 indemnity agreement, with no direct monetary outflow for the Company.
