Minority shareholders sued Jindal Poly Films for syphoning funds and accused promoters of acting against the interest of public shareholders.

Jindal Poly Films faces a class action lawsuit after minority shareholders of the company filed a complaint against the polyester manufacturer in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The complaint alleges that the company siphoned off funds to promoters, resulting in a loss of about ₹2,000 crore to the company.
The complaint also alleged that Jindal Poly Films also invested ₹1,300 crore in multiple tranches in these entities and then sold its stake in the related companies to a promoter group trust for just ₹106 crore.
In response, the company said that the “petition pending before the NCLT has no material impact on the operations/performance of the Company,” in a regulatory filing with the NSE.
