The commission issued quotation letters to its panel auditors this week.

The auditor will also review the financial statements of the company for the last two years.

In 2018, Intraco raised Tk30 crore through IPO and was supposed to use the fund to establish a bottling plant at Chattogram's Patenga.

But later, it purchased a newly-built liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder manufacturing factory located at Sadar Dokkhin in Cumilla instead.

The 40,000-square-feet LPG bottle production unit with a production capacity of 2,000 LPG cylinders per day cost the firm Tk31.50 crore.

The reporter tried to contact top officials of the company for comments over the phone but it was not possible to get one.
