Aarti Pharmalabs Files Writ Petition Against Rs 59.50 Cr Stamp Duty Demand
Aarti Pharmalabs has filed a Writ Petition before the Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad challenging an order dated August 29, 2026, issued by the Superintendent of Stamps, Gandhinagar. The challenged order had levied stamp duty and penalties totaling Rs 59.50 crore concerning its demerger scheme sanctioned by NCLT Ahmedabad in September 2022. The demanded sum represents approximately 27.9% of the company's TTM PAT (Rs 213 crore) and about 3.0% of its net worth (Rs 1,982 crore). The company is contesting the liability legally, making the final cash outflow uncertain pending judicial proceedings.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedAarti Pharmalabs moved to court by filing a Writ Petition in the Gujarat High Court to contest an adverse Rs 59.50 crore stamp duty and penalty order.
Why it mattersA confirmed liability of Rs 59.50 crore would equate to over a quarter of TTM profit (Rs 213 crore), which could impact cash flows if interim relief is denied or deposit is mandated.

Aarti Pharmalabs Q3 FY26: Revenue at ₹425 Cr, PAT at ₹44 Cr; Declares ₹1.5 Interim Dividend
Aarti Pharmalabs reported a decline in Q3 FY26 revenue to ₹425 crores from ₹471 crores YoY, primarily due to pricing pressure in the API segment and operational delays at the new Atali plant. Profit After Tax (PAT) fell significantly to ₹44 crores compared to ₹74 crores in the same period last year. Management noted that ₹49 crores of revenue was deferred as goods in transit, which impacted the quarter's PBT by ₹19 crores. Consequently, the company has revised its FY26 outlook, expecting EBITDA to be largely in line with the previous year with only marginal growth.
Key Highlights
Revenue decreased 9.8% YoY to ₹425 crores, while PAT dropped to ₹44 crores from ₹74 crores.

Despite the YoY decline, the company showed a strong sequential recovery with EBITDA rising 39% QoQ and margins remaining resilient at 24.22%. The CDMO segment is a key growth driver with 30-40% growth projected for FY26, although ₹49 crore in revenue was deferred this quarter due to goods in transit. Major capacity expansions in Xanthine (to 9,000 MTPA) and the Atali greenfield site are nearing completion, positioning the company for future scale.
