Indian Court to Rehear Volkswagen's Challenge to Large Tax Demand
An Indian court will re-hear Volkswagen's challenge to a tax demand exceeding Rs 11,500 crore related to alleged undervaluation of auto component imports over several years. The case returns to the Bombay High Court after the previous bench, which reserved judgment in early 2025, released the matter without delivering a verdict. Volkswagen disputes the customs department's claims that it misclassified imports to reduce duties. No final decision has been announced, and the case will be heard by a new bench.
