# Telangana HC Upholds Cancellation of Patanjali Foods’ Factory Zone 2026-08-13T00:54:44+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Telangana High Court has upheld the state government's cancellation of Patanjali Foods' oil palm factory zone in Suryapet district. A division bench dismissed the company's appeal, ruling that it had failed to set up a processing unit within 24 months as required under its 2017 agreement, despite multiple extensions and show-cause notices. The court rejected Patanjali's argument that clause 15 of the agreement, which lets it continue procuring fruit bunches, overrode the obligation to build a mill. It noted that the state had issued four show-cause notices and a personal hearing before cancelling the allotment in March 2025. The zone has been re-allotted to another company. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Tags: cancellation, horticulture, oil palm, Patanjali Foods, Suryapet, Telangana High Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/telangana-hc-upholds-cancellation-of-patanjali-foods-factory-zone/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
