Azure Power discloses, among other information, that it received a whistleblower complaint in May 2022 alleging potential procedural irregularities and misconduct by certain employees at a subsidiary’s plant:
“As part of the Company’s review of these allegations, it discovered deviations from safety and quality norms, and it has implemented mechanisms to remediate them and in so doing strengthen safety and quality protocols. Azure’s Audit Committee, with the assistance of legal counsel and forensic accounting support, also identified evidence of manipulation of project data and information by certain employees. The Company is implementing immediate remedial measures, and Azure is initiating disclosure of the findings to the appropriate authorities.”
