The company has faced regulatory challenges, landing two interim orders from the MCA after alleged breaches under Sections 166 and 178 of the Companies Act. As reported by Chemical News, the company states that the issue does not impact its finances or day-to-day operations, even though ₹19.50 lakh in compounding fees were levied. The company emphasizes that these regulatory matters do not affect its operational performance or financial stability.
