Electrosteel expects growth with Bengal's new incentive policy
Kolkata: Electrosteel Castings, a water infrastructure and pipeline solutions provider, is optimistic that state govt's new incentive policy will be industry-friendly. The CM Mamata Banerjee-led govt earlier scrapped the previous policy, prompting some companies to move court. The Kolkata-based company is also confident that its recent acquisition of Italian valve-maker TIS Service Spa will boost both its revenue and profitability. Sunil Katial, whole-time director and CEO, said the company's proposed ductile iron project in Odisha, with an estimated investment of Rs 3,000 crore, has already been delayed for 8-9 months due to land issue. "We are hoping for a new incentive scheme in Bengal," he said. Electrosteel currently operates three units in Khardah, Bansberia and Haldia.

Mumbai court grants bail to high-end furniture businessman in Rs 30 crore customs duty evasion case
Mumbai: The Mumbai metropolitan magistrate court on Saturday granted bail to Falgun Shroff, a key accused in the Rs 30 crore customs duty evasion racket unearthed by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). Shroff, the owner of Di Lusso Furniture LLP, was arrested on July 20 for allegedly importing high-end Italian luxury furniture by grossly undervaluing goods and evading customs duties. While granting bail, the court observed that Shroff had no prior criminal antecedents and cooperated with the investigation. The court noted that the DRI had already seized all documentary and electronic evidence, including emails, account books, and devices, during searches at Shroff's office and residence. The accused also deposited Rs 5 crore towards duty payment and expressed willingness to pay more, without admitting any liability, although his bank accounts are currently frozen, argued his advocate Sujay Kantawala. The court directed Shroff to be released on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh with sureties and imposed strict conditions prohibiting him from tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses. The court remarked that further custodial interrogation was not necessary at this stage as the investigation into past imports will take considerable time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai DRI officials alleged that Shroff, along with co-accused Sambhaji Bhosale and Manoj Rai, imported premium furniture brands like Poltrona Frau, Fendi, and Minotti using shell companies and dummy Importer Exporter Codes (IECs).

Officials said the racket has international ramifications and more arrests are likely as several dummy companies and overseas collaborators remain under the scanner.
