Court relief secured: The Delhi High Court directed SAP India to restore full and uninterrupted software services to Nayara Energy after the services were suspended in July 2025 following EU sanctions against the company.
Critical operational systems: The suspension affected access to SAP support services, updates and technical resources used for business operations, invoicing and regulatory compliance. Restoring access could help reduce operational disruptions.
Indian law at the centre: Nayara argued that its contracts with SAP India were governed by Indian law. The court’s interim ruling supported restoration of services despite SAP’s reliance on sanctions-related concerns.
Sanctions risk remains relevant: The dispute highlights the operational challenges faced by Nayara due to EU sanctions linked to its Russian ownership and business relationships, including Rosneft’s 49.13% stake.
