- The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal upheld the resolution plan of Sarda Energy and Mining Ltd for bankrupt SKS Power Generation (Chhattisgarh). - Other resolution applicants, including Torrent Power, Jindal Power, and Vantage Point Asset Management, challenged the approved resolution plan but their plea was dismissed. - In October 2023, the NCLT had directed lenders of SKS Power Generation to reconsider SEML's resolution plan. - The plan faced subsequent challenges and was brought before the NCLAT, which overturned the earlier NCLT decision and granted SEML the ability to seek final approval. - On 13 August, the NCLAT ruled in favor of Sarda Energy, rejecting objections against the resolution plan. - The insolvency proceedings for SKS Power Generation began in April 2022 after lenders filed claims amounting to ₹1,890 crore.
