Thus the Company had become sick company and was registered with Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR). During the year 2010-11 as per order issued by the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction the company has been ceased to be a sick industrial company, as its net worth turned positive and its revival is sustainable.
