What changed

Delhi High Court granted Nayara Energy interim relief, directing SAP India to restore critical software services suspended over EU sanctions linked to Rosneft ownership. Nayara said the disruption impaired refinery operations, regulatory compliance and GST 2.0 implementation.

Why this matters

SAP service restoration reduces immediate disruption risk to Nayara Energy’s refinery, fuel retail, compliance and GST 2.0 operations, though sanctions-related vendor continuity remains a key contingency issue.

What to watch

  • SAP's timing and scope of service restoration, including whether it covers cloud access, maintenance, patches, implementation and help-desk support.
  • Delhi High Court's next hearing, any appeal, and whether the interim order is converted into broader or longer-term relief.
  • EU sanctions guidance or enforcement developments affecting companies linked to Rosneft or other sanctioned Russian entities.
  • Evidence of refinery throughput, fuel-station supply, invoice-processing or regulatory-reporting disruptions at Nayara.
  • Nayara disclosures on ERP contingency planning, vendor diversification, migration spending or delayed GST 2.0 deployment.
