Synopsis
The JIL went into the insolvency process in August 2017 after the NCLT admitted an application by an IDBI Bank-led consortium. In the first round of insolvency proceeding, the Rs 7,350-crore bid of Lakshadweep, part of Suraksha Group, was rejected by lenders.
On November 6, 2019, the Supreme Court directed the completion of Jaypee Infratech's insolvency process within 90 days and ordered that the revised resolution plan to be invited only from NBCC and Suraksha Realty.
State-owned NBCC and Suraksha group, which are in the race to acquire debt-laden Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL), will submit their revised bids by Tuesday.
According to sources, a meeting of Committee of Creditors (CoC) is likely to be held on May 19 to discuss the bids submitted by both the parties under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). In the last meeting of the CoC held on Saturday, financial creditors, which includes representatives of lenders and homebuyers, discussed their bids and sought various clarifications. During the meeting, both NBCC and Suraksha were asked to make necessary changes and submit their revised bids.
