LT Foods Shares Drop 10% After US Duty on Subsidiary
Imagine a company that sells food, called LT Foods.
One of their parts, Ecopure, sells soybean meal to the US.
The US government has now put a huge tax, called a duty, of 340% on Ecopure's sales.
This means the company has to pay a lot more money, which made the LT Foods's stocks go down.
The tax is about sales worth Rs 50 crore.
Even though the tax is high, LT Foods is going to try to fight it and thinks they can win.
It's like the US is saying they are watching food coming in from other countries very carefully.
LT Foods shares fell 10% after the US imposed a 340% duty on its subsidiary.
The US Department of Commerce issued a preliminary notice for the duty on organic soybean meal exports.
The duty applies to Ecopure Specialities Ltd's exports between January and December 2023.
The levied duty pertains to sales worth Rs 50 crore.
LT Foods stated confidence in its subsidiary's legal standing and plans to seek a review.
