2026: Fine of 15 million rubles due to disruption of project KPI

In early March 2026, the Moscow Arbitration Court partially satisfied the claim of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation against the developer of medical equipment for express and in-depth diagnostics of Aksma. The company was charged 15 million rubles for not achieving the indicators of the project, implemented with financial support from the state.

According to the "Agency Business News," we are talking about the creation of a high-tech production of medical devices for remote monitoring of patients. Aksma was engaged in the development of a personal electrocardiograph capable of automatically transmitting data to the telemedicine system. The Ministry of Industry and Trade allocated 46.3 million rubles from the federal budget for these purposes.

Aksma implemented this project, but at the same time did not ensure the fulfillment of some key performance indicators (KPI) enshrined in the agreement: among them - the share of domestic medical devices on the market, contribution to the import substitution program, planned revenue from the sale of products, as well as the timing of the organization of serial production. On this basis, the Ministry of Industry and Trade imposed fines on the company in the amount of 26.4 million rubles, calculated in proportion to the deviation of actual indicators from the planned ones. Aksma voluntarily refused to pay this money, and the case was referred to the court.

During the hearings, Aksma indicated that the statute of limitations on the part of the claims had expired. The company, in particular, emphasized that the ministry was aware of some problems with the indicators in advance - as part of the provision of interim reporting of the project. The court agreed with these arguments, reducing the amount of recovery by almost half - to 15 million rubles. The decision took into account "the need to maintain a balance of interests of the parties and the compensatory nature of responsibility."^[1]
