DRP Rejects Objections on Rs 3.84 Cr Transfer Pricing Adjustment for DIC India
DIC India received directions from Dispute Resolution Panel-2 (DRP) under Section 144C(5) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, regarding an upward transfer pricing adjustment of Rs 3,84,17,653 for AY 2023-24 (FY 2022-23). The DRP rejected most of the company's objections and instructed the Assessing Officer (AO) to incorporate its findings into the final assessment order. With DIC India generating TTM PAT of Rs 6 Cr, the adjustment of Rs 3.84 Cr represents ~64% of annual net profit, though the final tax demand and penalties will only be crystallized upon the AO's final order.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedDispute Resolution Panel-2 issued directions turning down most objections filed by DIC India regarding a proposed transfer pricing adjustment.
Why it mattersThe disputed transfer pricing adjustment of Rs 3.84 Cr is significant relative to the company's annual profitability (TTM PAT of Rs 6 Cr), creating potential tax liabilities or provisions once finalized.
Transfer pricing adjustment: INR 3,84,17,653Adjustment vs TTM PAT: ~64%Relevant Assessment Year: AY 2023-24Date of DRP directions: September 30, 2026
📅 Short termUncertainty persists until the Assessing Officer computes the exact tax and interest demand, which could temporarily weigh on sentiment given the company's thin margins.
📈 Long termLimited operational impact, though recurring transfer pricing challenges on international transactions could pose friction if DIC India's pricing methodologies continue to face departmental scrutiny.
⚠ Risk flags
- Potential crystallization of tax demand and interest
- Litigation risk and possible cash outflow if assessed amounts must be deposited prior to appeal
Key Highlights

227% YoY Profit Growth in Q2 2026; Revenue up 25% to ₹284 Cr
DIC India reported a strong Q2 2026 with revenue growing 25.4% YoY to ₹283.95 Cr and Net Profit surging 227% to ₹14.26 Cr.

However, cash flow from operations turned negative at ₹(39.17) Cr for H1 2026, primarily due to a ₹74.83 Cr increase in trade receivables and a ₹73.54 Cr increase in inventories. The EPS for the quarter stands at ₹15.54, compared to ₹4.75 in the previous year's corresponding quarter.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedDIC India has delivered a massive earnings beat, with quarterly profits more than doubling YoY and H1 profits exceeding the previous TTM figures.

Inventories rose by ₹73.54 Cr in H1 2026, contributing to a negative operating cash flow of ₹39.17 Cr.
👀 What to Watch
Investors should monitor the company's ability to convert the high trade receivables into cash in the coming quarters. The sharp improvement in margins suggests successful product mix optimization, but the working capital stretch is a key metric to watch.
