This is a single-company/supply-chain-specific event. B9 Beverages (craft beer maker) faces payment default to glass bottle supplier HNGIL, causing working capital strain for HNGIL. B9's production suspension and financial distress (₹748 crore loss) indicate potential margin squeeze and inventory destock.
