Amtek Auto's Debt and Alleged Fraud
Amtek Auto Ltd was once a big name in making car parts in India.
They started buying many companies in other countries, like the UK, to grow fast.
But they borrowed a lot of money to do this, and their debt grew very quickly.
Now, there are reports that they might have been involved in some wrongdoing with all this money.
Amtek Auto Ltd was a leading automotive component manufacturer in India.
The company engaged in aggressive overseas acquisitions, including in the UK.
Debt increased rapidly from Rs 3,800 crore to Rs 14,200 crore in a few years.
Acquisitions were often financed through large borrowings rather than internal accruals.
There are allegations of fraud related to the company's financial dealings.
