SMVD Files High Court Suit for ₹5.92 Cr Shortfall in Fire Insurance Claim
SMVD Poly Pack has received ₹47.67 crore (₹4,767.24 lacs) against an assessed net fire loss of ₹53.59 crore (₹5,359.14 lacs). To recover the remaining shortfall of approximately ₹5.92 crore, the company has filed a suit against The Oriental Insurance Company Limited in the Calcutta High Court. With operations previously disrupted and revenue near zero (TTM revenue of ₹2 crore), the realized insurance proceeds represent a substantial cash inflow relative to its ₹16 crore market cap, while additional recoveries remain subject to litigation.
