Sebi Fines Kalahridhaan Trendz and Promoters for Disclosure Lapses and Investor Misleading
Sebi has fined Kalahridhaan Trendz and its promoters Rs 1 crore for concealing a loan default and misleading investors through false announcements. The SME fabric company, listed on NSE's Emerge platform, failed to disclose a credit card repayment default within required timelines. Sebi barred the company and Managing Director Niranjan D Agarwal from securities markets for two years, and prohibited two other directors for one year. The regulator also found the company’s claim of a large export order lacked due diligence and was misleading.
