What happened
- The development is linked to the investigation into the fire at Sigachi’s Hyderabad facility.
- Following the news, investor sentiment turned cautious, leading to selling pressure in the stock.
Company’s response
- In a disclosure to stock exchanges, Sigachi said it has taken all necessary steps to ensure continuity of operations and day-to-day activities.
- The company indicated that business operations are continuing and that it is cooperating with authorities.
