On November 20, 2019, the RBI superseded the board of directors of the company – managed by the Wadhawans — owing to governance concerns and defaults in meeting various payment obligations and appointed an administrator to run the company. Subsequently, NCLT admitted the application filed by the RBI and commenced the resolution process of the company under IBC.
