flag Supreme Court rules customs duty on SEZ electricity invalid, ordering refunds for Adani Power.

flag The Supreme Court has ruled that customs duty cannot be imposed on electricity supplied from India’s Special Economic Zones to the domestic market, overturning a 2019 Gujarat High Court decision that denied Adani Power relief. flag The court declared the levy on power from Adani’s Mundra SEZ plant unlawful due to lack of statutory authority, stating that once a tax is invalid, it cannot be revived through new notifications. flag The ruling applies to electricity supplied from June 2009 to February 2016 and directs customs authorities to verify and issue refunds within eight weeks. flag The decision resolves a long-standing dispute over retrospective duties and reinforces legal principles on the enforceability of government levies.
