CASE ALLEGATIONS: Azure Power sells renewable power in India on long-term fixed price contracts.
The Azure Power class action lawsuit alleges that defendants failed to disclose that: (i) there were procedural irregularities, including deviations from safety and quality standards, at one of Azure Power’s plants; (ii) certain project data was manipulated; (iii) as a result, Azure Power’s internal controls and procedures were not effective; and (iv) Azure Power had received a credible whistleblower report alleging such misconduct.
On August 29, 2022, Azure Power announced the resignation of its CEO, less than two months after his appointment. Azure Power also disclosed that it had “received a whistleblower complaint in May 2022 alleging potential procedural irregularities and misconduct by certain employees at a plant belonging to one of its subsidiaries.” During Azure Power’s review of these allegations, Azure Power “discovered deviations from safety and quality norms” and “also identified evidence of manipulation of project data and information by certain employees.” On this news, Azure Power’s stock price fell by approximately 44%, damaging investors.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Azure Power securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Azure Power class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Azure Power class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Azure Power class action lawsuit.
