Delhi High Court directs SAP to restore software services to Nayara Energy | Company Business News
The Delhi High Court has told SAP India to restore the software services it stopped for Nayara Energy. SAP had cut support, including its main business software and GST (goods and services tax) update tools, in July 2025, pointing to European Union sanctions on Rosneft, which holds 49.13% of Nayara. The court gave interim relief, so the refinery can work normally for now.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Delhi High Court granted interim relief to Nayara Energy, allowing its plea for restoration of SAP India's suspended software services.
- SAP had stopped critical support such as SAP ECC maintenance, marketplace access, SSCR keys and expert services, citing European Union sanctions on Rosneft, which holds 49.13% of Nayara.
- Nayara told the court it could not implement GST 2.0 updates, and said the disruption risked India's sovereignty and public interest as its refinery accounts for 8.5% of the nation's energy production.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If a foreign software vendor stops critical support citing overseas sanctions, review your contract early, document the business and compliance impact, and consider seeking legal advice about interim relief in an Indian court. This is not a guaranteed outcome.
