Hindusthan National Glass & Industries (HNGIL) has sent a legal notice to B9 Beverages, claiming that the craft beer maker has defaulted on payments exceeding ₹8 crore. This legal action compounds the challenges faced by B9 Beverages, known for its Bira 91 brand, which is already dealing with internal disputes between founder Ankur Jain and investors. Allegations of salary delays and unpaid vendor obligations have surfaced, alongside claims that B9 failed to collect 5.142 million customized glass bottles, impacting HNGIL's working capital. In FY24, B9 Beverages reported a staggering net loss of ₹748 crore, and production has been halted as negotiations regarding Jain's potential resignation are ongoing. Employees have also expressed grievances regarding unpaid salaries and settlements for laid-off staff, further highlighting the company's financial turmoil.
