Sterlite Technologies’ US arm faces $96.5 million penalty in legal dispute

, the US subsidiary of Sterlite Technologies, has been directed by a US District Court to pay $96.5 million in a case filed by Prysmian Cables and Systems USA, with an additional $200,000 awarded against an ex-employee. The case revolved around alleged breaches of non-compete and confidentiality agreements, which STI has denied, asserting that the verdict is not supported by evidence.
