Will this ₹7,000-crore rescue plan save Go First?

SpiceJet chairman Ajay Singh and Busy Bee Aviation have put forward a joint ₹7,000 crore rescue plan for bankrupt airline Go First. The proposal was discussed by the committee of creditors, along with a rival bid from Sharjah-based aviation company Sky One. The joint offer is said to be higher, and the decision regarding the bids will be announced in 15 days. Go First has been grounded since May 2023 and has been undergoing an insolvency process. The airline owes ₹6,521 crore to lenders and its land assets are estimated to be worth around ₹10,000 crore.

Bajaj Housing Finance is bankable, but not a bank

Bajaj Housing Finance, India's second-largest housing finance company, has filed a draft offer document to go public, aiming to raise about ₹7,000 crore. Of this, ₹3,000 crore worth of shares will be sold by its parent company, Bajaj Finance, while the remaining ₹4,000 crore will come from new shares to expand its housing-finance business.

The road to enter bankruptcy court is now 7,000 companies long

Approximately 7,000 companies are awaiting a decision from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on whether to admit them for bankruptcy resolution, which is over three times the number of ongoing resolution cases. Inadequate staffing and a Supreme Court order have made it more challenging for creditors to initiate bankruptcy rescue proceedings. These companies primarily operate in manufacturing, real estate, and trading, signaling areas of stress in the economy. The government has been filling vacancies in the NCLT, but delays in starting the resolution process can hamper value maximization and resource retrieval.
