The company confirmed that the affected plant is adequately insured and the insurer has already been notified. The extent of financial loss or material damage will be communicated once the evaluation is complete.
In April this year, minority shareholders of Jindal Poly Films filed a class action suit with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) alleging the siphoning off of funds to promoters, resulting in a staggering loss of approximately ₹2,000 crore to the company.
According to the complaint presented to the NCLT on Tuesday, April 9, between the fiscal years 2013 and 2017, Jindal Poly Films purportedly invested a sum of ₹700 crore into two associated entities, namely Jindal India Powertech Limited and Jindal India Thermal Power Ltd, through instruments such as Optionally Convertible Preference Shares (OCPS) and Redeemable Preference Shares (RPS).
