Aditya Birla Group to Charge Brand Royalty from June 2026 for Listed Subsidiaries
The Aditya Birla Group will implement a brand royalty framework from June 1, 2026, requiring its listed subsidiaries, including Grasim Industries, Hindalco, and Novelis, to pay 0.25% of their revenue to the promoter entity Birla Group Holdings, capped annually at Rs 225 crore per company. This marks a shift from previous practice, introducing a structured governance model. Companies expect payments below the cap, with Grasim estimating around Rs 125 crore. The move aligns the group with peers and was disclosed following Novelis's regulatory filings.
