Approval of Resolution Plan - Jaiprakash Associates Limited
- CitationIA (Plan) No.11/2025 in CP (IB) No. 330/ALD/2018
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The Adjudicating Authority's power under Section 31(1) read with Section 30(2) of the Code is confined to examining whether the resolution plan, as approved by the Committee of Creditors by not less than 66% of the voting share under Section 30(4), conforms to the requirements of Section 30(2) (payment of insolvency resolution process costs in priority, payment of operational creditors' debts in the prescribed manner, management of the Corporate Debtor after approval, implementation and supervision, non-contravention of law, and other requirements specified by the Board); it has no jurisdiction to interfere with the commercial wisdom of the Committee of Creditors in choosing one plan over another or in assessing feasibility, viability and value maximisation, which are matters for the Committee alone. Where the Committee of Creditors has approved a resolution plan with the requisite voting share and the plan satisfies the requirements of Section 30(2), the Adjudicating Authority must approve the plan under Section 31(1), and the approved plan is binding on the Corporate Debtor, its employees, members, creditors, guarantors and other stakeholders, including the Central Government, State Governments and local authorities. A resolution applicant's ineligibility under Section 29A is to be ascertained on the basis of the Resolution Professional's verification, the applicant's affidavit under Section 30(1), and the information then available; where such verification is satisfactory and the applicant is found not ineligible, the plan may be considered and voted upon by the Committee.

However, the Hon’ble NCLAT subsequently vide judgment dated 06.12.2024, dismissed the appeal and declined to interfere with the CIRP admission order. Aggrieved thereby, the same suspended director preferred Civil Appeal Nos. 211–212 of 2025 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, which, by order dated 10.01.2025, also declined to interfere with the judgment of the Hon’ble NCLAT.
12. As stated by the Applicant, no Form G could be published by him till the pendency of appeal in Hon’ble NCLAT due to oral instruction as mentioned in previous para. However, after passing of order dated 06.12.2024 by the Hon’ble NCLAT, the 7th CoC meeting was convened by him on 19.12.2024, wherein the agenda regarding the issuance of Form G and invitation for Expression of Interest (“EOI”) was discussed. As approved by the CoC, in order to ensure a time-bound resolution and maximising the value of the Corporate Debtor, a simultaneous process for inviting EOIs is undertaken for: (i) JAL as a whole as a going concern (“Option I”); and (ii) JAL cluster and other clusters, to be subsequently stitched together to achieve composite resolution for JAL as a whole as a going concern (“Option II”), while ensuring that preference is given to resolution plans received for the JAL as a whole as a going concern.

The said IA was allowed by this Tribunal, vide order dated 06.03.2025 inter alia directing that Form G published by RP shall continue with Option I i.e. inviting Expression of Interest for the Corporate Debtor as a whole as a going concern, and Option II is set aside i.e. cluster wise expression of interest if any filed, will not be considered at this stage. Subsequent to above order dated 06.03.2025, the timeline for submission of EOIs was further extended till 25.03.2025, and the said extension was ratified in the 10th CoC meeting held on 18.03.2025.

Accordingly, a provisional list comprising of 26 PRAs was published on 04.04.2025 in terms of Regulation 36A(10) of the CIRP Regulations. As on the deadline of submission of objections by PRAs (i.e., 09 April 2025), the RP had not received any objections on the Provisional List. Further, one of the PRAs had officially communicated their withdrawal from the EOI process. Thereafter, as per Regulation 36A (12) of the CIRP Regulations, the final list of PRAs was issued by the Applicant on 19.04.2025, consisting of 25 PRAs.

The Applicant opened the resolution plans in the 15th CoC meeting in front of the CoC members, and all PRAs were called upon to confirm submission of the Earnest Money Deposit (“EMD”) in the format prescribed under the RFRP. Upon evaluation, it was found that Jaypee Infratech Limited (“JIL”) had not submitted the EMD, and accordingly, the CoC resolved to reject its Resolution Plan on the grounds of non-compliance with the provisions pertaining to the submission of EMD. The request of JIL for reconsideration was further rejected by the CoC in its 16th meeting, pursuant to which JIL challenged the said decision before this Tribunal by filing IA No. 465 of 2025, which came to be dismissed vide order dated 26.09.2025.

Subsequently, at the request of ICICI Bank Limited in the 20th CoC meeting held on 05.09.2025, ICICI Bank Limited was also inducted into the Sub- Committee. As also decided by the CoC, this Sub-Committee would not have any voting power or decision-making power and all decisions on the approval / rejection of plans would be taken within the framework of the CoC as per law.
24. It is submitted by the Applicant that five meetings of the Sub- Committee were conducted, wherein all 5 PRAs were invited and comprehensive discussions took place with them with respect to plans received from them in order to examine and highlight any inadequacies in the resolution plans in meeting the mandatory requirements of the Code and CIRP Regulations as well as to IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 highlight observations from an RFRP perspective in the resolution plans, and to apprise the PRAs of the indicative commercial value pockets which should be kept in mind by the PRAs at the time of subsequent commercial negotiations on the resolution plans with the COC.

35. Upon conclusion of the discussions in the 23rd CoC meeting, the final Resolution Plans submitted by all the five PRAs were resolved to be placed for voting after informing to representative of each PRA who attended 23rd CoC meeting and being acknowledged by them about the decision taken by the CoC for starting of voting as per Regulation 39(3).
36. The Applicant states that subsequent to the 23rd CoC meeting, an email was received on 08.11.2025 from one of the PRAs, namely Vedanta Limited, enclosing a document titled “Addendum to the Resolution Plan dated 14.10.2025,” which was duly forwarded to the CoC on the same day. Subsequently, the Applicant convened the 24th CoC meeting, wherein the CoC resolved not to consider the said Addendum on the ground that it was in violation of the Process Note
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 read with the RFRP, specifically to Clause 13.19 and 14.2(xv) of the Process Note, and the current design and structure of the RFRP and the Process Note was not found to envisage a situation for consideration of any deviations and the Process Note in its current form was not found to be able to accommodate the acceptance of the Addendum. Therefore, at the stage when this Addendum was filed after a decision was taken by the CoC in its 23rd meeting to commence voting on final signed Resolution Plans of all the five PRAs under intimation to them and duly acknowledged by them, the CoC considered that it was neither tenable nor was it practicable to rerun the process because acceptance of addendum by one PRA would necessitate commencement of a fresh process by affording all PRAs an opportunity to revise their proposals, which may result into jeopardizing the entire process and the progress made by the Applicant and the COC so far. The said decision was communicated to Vedanta Limited vide email dated 15.11.2025. Further, on 17.11.2025, the representative of the suspended director, Mr. Manoj Gaur, withdrew the proposal submitted under Section 12A and requested that the same be taken on record.
37. Finally, e-voting on all the five Resolution Plans submitted on 14.10.2025 commenced on 10.11.2025 at 9.00 am and concluded on IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018

The Successful Resolution Applicant (“SRA”), Adani Enterprises Limited, is a public listed company incorporated on 02.03.1993, having CIN: L51100GJ1993PLC019067. As per the details available on public platform as well as based on the details provided in the CoC approved Resolution Plan as filed by the Applicant along with the IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 present IA, the SRA is the flagship entity of the Adani Group and one of India’s largest diversified conglomerates, has since its listing in 1994 consistently enhanced stakeholder value while contributing to nation-building through development of key infrastructure assets. It has successfully incubated and listed several prominent companies, including Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Power, Adani Ports & SEZ, Adani Green Energy, Adani Total Gas and Adani Wilmar, and has made significant investments across sectors such as airports, roads, water infrastructure, data centres, solar manufacturing, defence and aerospace, mining, integrated resource solutions and agri-supply chains, thereby establishing its credentials as a leading business incubator in India.
45. Further as per the details provided in the IA, Adani Enterprises Limited along with its Adani group of companies has leadership presence across multiple businesses in India and abroad including ports, airports, roads and highways, cement, real estate, power, renewable energy, etc. In each of these sectors, Adani group has shown unmatched execution capabilities and significant focus, investments and expertise through companies which have market leadership. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited, Adani Power Limited, Adani Realty Limited, Ambuja Cement Limited and IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
Associated Cement Companies Limited, Adani Green Energy Limited, etc. are each amongst the largest private sector enterprises in their business sectors. As per the EOI, the Corporate Debtor has businesses and investments across multiple sectors (Real Estate, Hospitality, Cement, Power, E&C and fertiliser). These businesses are complimentary to, and adjacent to, Adani group's investments in these areas, as mentioned above. A diversified nature of business which has been described to be presently being carried out by the SRA, and already dealing in those business verticals in which the Corporate Debtor is presently working has been explained to sufficient for feasibility and viability of implementation of the Resolution Plan approved by the CoC in its commercial wisdom as per section 30(4) of the IBC and also having scored maximum in evaluation matrix as contemplated under Regulation 39(3) of the CIRP Regulations.
ELIGIBITY OF SRA AS PER SECTION 29A OF THE CODE
46. As certified by the Applicant in Form H, the Resolution Applicant, Adani Enterprises Ltd. has submitted an affidavit pursuant to section 30(1) of the Code confirming that it is not ineligible under section 29A of the Code to submit a resolution plan. The Applicant being RP in this case, has certified that the said affidavit is in order. Copy of the IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 said Affidavit filed by the SRA has been annexed as Annexure 37 at Pgs.1182 to 1184 of the IA.
47. It is further submitted that the Applicant had engaged an independent professional, Kroll Associates (India) Pvt. Limited, to undertake verification of the Section 29A eligibility of all PRAs. Pursuant thereto, a report dated 11.11.2025 was submitted, wherein the following observations were recorded in respect of the SRA:
“5.2 Potential Observations for Section 29A Kroll has carried out the necessary checks as defined in the scope of work for Adani Enterprises Limited and its respective connected persons. We note that none of the subjects mentioned in Section 5.1 of this report were noted to have violated the provisions of Section 29A of the IBC, except for a potential observation for 1 subject entity- Dighi Port Limited (#P37). Details of our findings are as follows: 5.2.1 Dighi Port Limited Recovery Suits reported During our review of public records, we noted that two Financial Institutions — UCO Bank and Union Bank have reported the following recovery suits filed against Dighi Port Limited (#A372) to CIBIL as of June 2025: S. No. Lender Name Amount Outstanding/ In- Month of First Reporting as per CIBIL Default (in INR millions 1. UCO Bank 107.65 March 2019 2. Union Bank of India 130.00 June 2022
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
Clause violated We note that the existence of recovery suits on CIBIL Suits database indicates a violation of Section 29A(c) which states that a person shall not be eligible to submit a resolution plan, if such person, or any other person acting jointly or in concert with such person – "has an account, or an account of a corporate debtor under the management or control of such person or of whom such person is a promoter, classified as non-performing asset in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India issued under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (10 1949) 3[or the guidelines of a financial sector regulator issued under any other law for the time being in force,] and at least a period of one year has lapsed from the date of such classification till the date of commencement of the corporate insolvency resolution process of the corporate debtor" Further, if the account referenced above was acquired pursuant to a prior resolution plan approved under the IBC, the provisions of this clause shall not apply to such resolution applicant for a period of three years from the date of approval of such resolution plan by the Adjudicating Authority. Observation for Dighi Port Limited Our review of public records indicates that Dighi Ports Limited was placed under CIRP in April 2018 after which a resolution plan submitted by Adani Ports & SEZ Limited (#A143) was approved on 5 March 2020. The transfer of the shareholding to Adani Ports & SEZ was completed in February 2021. Accordingly, as of March 2023, the three years period has elapsed since the approval of the resolution plan. A review of the NCLT order suggests that multiple financial lenders including Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank,
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, UCO Bank, and Corporation Bank (now merged with Union Bank of India) among others, had filed their claims with the Resolution Professional of Dighi Port Limited during its CIRP and agreed to the plan submitted by Adani Ports & SEZ. Our review suggests that since FY 2022, Dighi Port has not reported any pending dues to these lenders in the financial records filed with the MCA. While the NCLT order and CIRP plan had been approved by the financial lenders and Dighi Port has not reported of any dues pending to Union Bank of India and UCO Bank in its financial records, both financial institutions continue to list their pending dues and recovery suits against Dighi Port Limited on the CIBIL suits database as of 30 June 2025. Other banks including Indian Overseas Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of India, Indian Bank, and Bank of Maharashtra stopped reporting the same on CIBIL suits database after August 2024, November 2022, and December 2020 respectively.” 48. The aforesaid observations were also placed before the 23rd meeting of the Committee of Creditors, wherein the following observations in relation to Dighi Port were recorded: “Kroll highlighted that basis their findings, RP reached out to the respective resolution applicants and received certain responses/clarifications which were shared with Kroll. For Dighi Port Limited, communications/NOC were received from both financial institutions, i.e., Union Bank of India and UCO Bank, clarifying no pending dues or default.” 49. In view of above report and further information collected by the CoC as discussed above, the SRA not being ineligible u/s 29A of the Code has been ascertained satisfactorily, and accordingly its plan has been IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 considered and voted upon by the CoC and confirmed by the requisite majority vote as has already been discussed earlier in this order.

ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
66. On hearing the submissions made by the Ld. Counsel for the Resolution Professional and the CoC, and perusing the record, we find that the Resolution Plan of the SRA/Adani has been approved by the CoC with 93.81% voting share. The CoC members as per the provisions of Regulation 39(3), voted after evaluation of all plans as per an Evaluation Matrix as placed before them and making deliberation on the feasibility and viability of each resolution plan for the revival of the Corporate Debtor. Evaluation of each plan based on the Evaluation Matrix has been done with the help of an expert professional body, BDO, which evaluated all the plans applying various parameters duly approved by the CoC in terms of Regulation 2(ha) and disclosed to all PRAs as a part of the RFRP issued to all PRAs for filing of Resolution Plan. As per Regulation 39(3B), where two or more resolution plans are put to a vote, the resolution plan that receives the highest vote, but not less than the requisite votes, shall be IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 considered as approved. Section 30(4) of the IBC provides that the CoC may approve a resolution plan by a vote of not less than 66% of the voting share of the financial creditors. The present Resolution Plan of SRA/Adani Enterprises Limited before us, has been approved by the CoC with 93.81% vote share, and thus it meets the requirement of Section 30(4) of IBC read with Regulation 39(3B) of CIRP Regulations. From the documents presented before us by the Ld. Counsels of RP and CoC, it has been shown to us that all the compliances have been done by the RP and the SRA for making the plan effective after approval by this Bench, for which necessary details have been submitted by RP in Form H as have already been discussed in para no.64 of this order.
67. On perusal of the documents on record, we are also satisfied that the Resolution Plan is in accordance with sections 30 and 31 of the IBC and also complies with regulations 38 and 39 of the CIRP Regulations.
68. As regards to complying with the law laid down in various judicial pronouncements of the Hon’ble Supreme Court on the scope of approval of the Resolution Plan by the NCLT, we deemed it appropriate to refer to some of the landmark judgments as under:
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 i) Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of K. Sashidhar –Vs– Indian Overseas Bank (2019) 12 SCC 150, wherein in para 19 and 62 it is held as follows;
“19....... In the present case, however, our focus must be on the dispensation governing the process of approval or rejection of resolution plan by the CoC. The CoC is called upon to consider the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code after it is verified and vetted by the resolution professional as being compliant with all the statutory requirements specified in Section 30(2). 62. .........In the present case, however, we are concerned with the provisions of I&B Code dealing with the resolution process. The dispensation provided in the I&B Code is entirely different. In terms of Section 30 of the I&B Code, the decision is taken collectively after due negotiations between the financial creditors who are constituents of the CoC and they express their opinion on the proposed resolution plan in the form of votes, as per their voting share. In the meeting of the CoC, the proposed resolution plan is placed for discussion and after full interaction in the presence of all concerned and the Resolution Professional, the constituents of the CoC finally proceed to exercise their option (business/commercial decision) to approve or not to IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 approve the proposed resolution plan.
In such a case, non-recording of reasons would not per-se vitiate the collective decision of the financial creditors. The legislature has not envisaged challenge to the “commercial/business decision” of the financial creditors taken collectively or for that matter their individual opinion, as the case may be, on this count.” ii) Further the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank and Ors. (2019) 12 SCC 150 has lucidly delineated the scope and interference of the Adjudicating Authority in the process of approval of the Resolution Plan and held as follows; “55. Whereas, the discretion of the adjudicating authority (NCLT) is circumscribed by Section 31 limited to scrutiny of the resolution plan “as approved” by the requisite per cent of voting share of financial creditors. Even in that enquiry, the grounds on which the adjudicating authority can reject the resolution plan is in reference to matters specified in Section 30(2), when the resolution plan does not conform to the stated requirements. Reverting to Section 30(2), the enquiry to be done is in respect of whether the resolution plan provides: (i) the payment of insolvency resolution process costs in a specified manner in priority to the repayment of other debts of the corporate debtor, (ii) the repayment of the debts of operational creditors in prescribed manner, (iii)
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 the management of the affairs of the corporate debtor, (iv) the implementation and supervision of the resolution plan, (v) does not contravene any of the provisions of the law for the time being in force, (vi) conforms to such other requirements as may be specified by the Board. The Board referred to is established under Section 188 of the I&B Code. The powers and functions of the Board have been delineated in Section 196 of the I&B Code. None of the specified functions of the Board, directly or indirectly, pertain to regulating the manner in which the financial creditors ought to or ought not to exercise their commercial wisdom during the voting on the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code. The subjective satisfaction of the financial creditors at the time of voting is bound to be a mixed baggage of variety of factors. To wit, the feasibility and viability of the proposed resolution plan and including their perceptions about the general capability of the resolution applicant to translate the projected plan into a reality. The resolution applicant may have given projections backed by normative data but still in the opinion of the dissenting financial creditors, it would not be free from being speculative. These aspects are completely within the domain of the financial creditors who are called upon to vote on the resolution plan under Section 30(4) of the I&B Code.
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
58. Indubitably, the inquiry in such an appeal would be limited to the power exercisable by the resolution professional under Section 30(2) of the I&B Code or, at best, by the adjudicating authority (NCLT) under Section 31(2) read with Section 31(1) of the I&B Code. No other inquiry would be permissible. Further, the jurisdiction bestowed upon the appellate authority (NCLAT) is also expressly circumscribed. It can examine the challenge only in relation to the grounds specified in Section 61(3) of the I&B Code, which is limited to matters “other than” enquiry into the autonomy or commercial wisdom of the dissenting financial creditors. Thus, the prescribed authorities (NCLT/NCLAT) have been endowed with limited jurisdiction as specified in the I&B Code and not to act as a court of equity or exercise plenary powers.” (emphasis supplied) iii) Further, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the matter of Committee of Creditors of Essar Steels –Vs– Satish Kumar Gupta &Ors. in Civil Appeal No. 8766 – 67 of 2019 at para 42, has held as follows;
“42. .........Thus, it is clear that the limited judicial review available, which can in no circumstance trespass upon a business decision of the majority of the Committee of Creditors, has to be within the four
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 corners of Section 30(2) of the Code, insofar as the Adjudicating Authority is concerned, and Section 32 read with Section 61(3) of the Code, insofar as the Appellate Tribunal is concerned, the parameters of such review having been clearly laid down in K. Sashidhar (supra).” iv) Also, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Committee of Creditors of Essar Steel India Limited v. Satish Kumar Gupta and Ors. (2020) 8 SCC 531, after referring to the decision in K. Sashidhar (supra), has held as follows;
“73. There is no doubt whatsoever that the ultimate discretion of what to pay and how much to pay each class or sub-class of creditors is with the Committee of Creditors, but, the decision of such Committee must reflect the fact that it has taken into account maximising the value of the assets of the corporate debtor and the fact that it has adequately balanced the interests of all stakeholders including operational creditors. This being the case, judicial review of the Adjudicating Authority that the resolution plan as approved by the Committee of Creditors has met the requirements referred to in Section 30(2) would include judicial review that is mentioned in Section 30(2)(e), as the provisions of the Code are also provisions of law for the time being in force. Thus, while the Adjudicating Authority cannot interfere on IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 merits with the commercial decision taken by the Committee of Creditors, the limited judicial review available is to see that the Committee of Creditors has taken into account the fact that the corporate debtor needs to keep going as a going concern during the insolvency resolution process; that it needs to maximise the value of its assets; and that the interests of all stakeholders including operational creditors has been taken care of. If the Adjudicating Authority finds, on a given set of facts, that the aforesaid parameters have not been kept in view, it may send a resolution plan back to the Committee of Creditors to re-submit such plan after satisfying the aforesaid parameters. The reasons given by the Committee of Creditors while approving a resolution plan may thus be looked at by the Adjudicating Authority only from this point of view, and once it is satisfied that the Committee of Creditors has paid attention to these key features, it must then pass the resolution plan, other things being equal.” (emphasis supplied) v) The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its recent decision in Jaypee Kensington Boulevard Apartments Welfare Association & Ors. v. NBCC (India) Ltd. &Ors in Civil Appeal no. 3395 of 2020, dated 24.03.2021, has held as follows;
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 “76. The expositions aforesaid make it clear that the decision as to whether corporate debtor should continue as a going concern or should be liquidated is essentially a business decision; and in the scheme of IBC, this decision has been left to the Committee of Creditors, comprising of the financial creditors. Differently put, in regard to the insolvency resolution, the decision as to whether a particular resolution plan is to be accepted or not is ultimately in the hands of the Committee of Creditors; and even in such a decision making process, a resolution plan cannot be taken as approved if the same is not approved by votes of at least 66% of the voting share of financial creditors. Thus, broadly put, a resolution plan is approved only when the collective commercial wisdom of the financial creditors, having at least 2/3rd majority of voting share in the Committee of Creditors, stands in its favour. 77. In the scheme of IBC, where approval of resolution plan is exclusively in the domain of the commercial wisdom of CoC, the scope of judicial review is correspondingly circumscribed by the provisions contained in Section 31 as regards approval of the Adjudicating Authority and in Section 32 read with Section 61 as regards the scope of appeal against the order of approval.
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
77.1. Such limitations on judicial review have been duly underscored by this Court in the decisions above-referred, where it has been laid down in explicit terms that the powers of the Adjudicating Authority dealing with the resolution plan do not extend to examine the correctness or otherwise of the commercial wisdom exercised by the CoC. The limited judicial review available to Adjudicating Authority lies within the four corners of Section 30(2) of the Code, which would essentially be to examine that the resolution plan does not contravene any of the provisions of law for the time being in force, it conforms to such other requirements as may be specified by the Board, and it provides for: (a) payment of insolvency resolution process costs in priority; (b) payment of debts of operational creditors; (c) payment of debts of dissenting financial creditors; (d) for management of affairs of corporate debtor after approval of the resolution plan; and (e) implementation and supervision of the resolution plan. 77.2. The limitations on the scope of judicial review are reinforced by the limited ground provided for an appeal against an order approving a resolution plan, namely, if the plan is in contravention of the provisions of any law for the time being in force; or there has been material irregularity in exercise of the powers by the resolution professional during the IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 corporate insolvency resolution period; or the debts owed to the operational creditors have not been provided for; or the insolvency resolution process costs have not been provided for repayment in priority; or the resolution plan does not comply with any other criteria specified by the Board 77.6.1.
The assessment about maximisation of the value of assets, in the scheme of the Code, would always be subjective in nature and the question, as to whether a particular resolution plan and its propositions are leading to maximisation of value of assets or not, would be the matter of enquiry and assessment of the Committee of Creditors alone. When the Committee of Creditors takes the decision in its commercial wisdom and by the requisite majority; and there is no valid reason in law to question the decision so taken by the Committee of Creditors, the adjudicatory process, whether by the Adjudicating Authority or the Appellate Authority, cannot enter into any quantitative analysis to adjudge as to whether the prescription of the resolution plan results in maximisation of the value of assets or not. The generalised submissions and objections made in relation to this aspect of value maximisation do not, by themselves, make out a case of interference in the decision taken by the Committee of Creditors in its commercial wisdom.
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
78. To put in a nutshell, the Adjudicating Authority has limited jurisdiction in the matter of approval of a resolution plan, which is well defined and circumscribed by Sections 30(2) and 31 of the Code read with the parameters delineated by this Court in the decisions above referred. The jurisdiction of the Appellate Authority is also circumscribed by the limited grounds of appeal provided in Section 61 of the Code. In the adjudicatory process concerning a resolution plan under IBC, there is no scope for interference with the commercial aspects of the decision of the CoC; and there is no scope for substituting any commercial term of the resolution plan approved by the CoC. Within its limited jurisdiction, if the Adjudicating Authority or the Appellate Authority, as the case may be, would find any shortcoming in the resolution plan vis-à-vis the specified parameters, it would only send the resolution plan back to the Committee of Creditors, for re-submission after satisfying the parameters delineated by Code and exposited by this Court.” vi) The Hon’ble Supreme Court in a recent judgment in case of Piramal Capital & Housing Finance Ltd. v. 63 Moons Technologies Ltd., 2025 SCC On Line SC 690, dated 01-04- 2025 has further upheld the primacy of commercial wisdom of the CoC in approving a resolution plan with only a limited
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 jurisdiction of judicial review available to the NCLT or NCLAT as held in this judgment as under :
(i) Mandatory Requirements of Section 30(2) of the IBC and Regulation 38 of Regulations, 2016 62. 62. After having elaborated upon the Avoidance Applications, let us see what are the mandatory requirements, a Resolution Professional is required to confirm on the receipt of the RPs (resolution plans) submitted by the PRAs. As per sub-section (1) of Section 30, a RA may submit a RP along with an affidavit stating that he is eligible under Section 29(A), to the Resolution Professional prepared on the basis of the information memorandum. On the receipt of RPs from the eligible RAs, the Resolution Professional has to examine each RP to confirm that each RP provides for the payment of Insolvency Resolution Process cost in the manner specified by the Board in priority to the payment of other debts of the CD, and provides for the payment of debts of operational creditors in such manner as may be prescribed by the Board, as required under sub-section (2) of Section 30. The Resolution Professional has also to confirm that each RP provides for the management of the affairs of CD after the approval of the RP; the implementation and supervision of the RP; and also that the plan does not contravene any of the provisions of the law for the time
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 being in force, and such other requirements specified by the Board. The other mandatory contents of a RP have been specified in Regulation 38 of the Regulations, 2016. 63. The Resolution Professional, in view of sub-section (3) of Section 30 has to present to the CoC for its approval such RPs which confirm the conditions referred to in sub-section (2) thereof. Sub-Section (4) of Section 30 states that the CoC may approve the RP by a vote of not less than 66% of the voting share of the Financial Creditors, after considering its feasibility and viability, the manner of distribution proposed, which may take into account the order of priority amongst Creditors as laid down in subsection (1) of Section 53, including the priority and value of the security interest of a secured creditor, and such other requirements as may be specified by the Board. 64. The Resolution Professional then has to submit the RP as approved by the requisite number of votes of CoC to the Adjudicating Authority. In view of subsection (1) of Section 31, if the Adjudicating Authority is satisfied that the RP approved by the CoC under sub-section (4) of Section 30 meets the requirements as referred to in sub-section (2) of Section 30, it shall by an order approve the RP, which shall be binding on the CD and its employees, members, creditors, statutory authorities, guarantors
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 and stakeholders involved in the RP. Where the Adjudicating Authority is satisfied that the RP does not confirm to the requirements referred to in sub-section (1) of Section 31, it may, by an order reject the RP. 65.Thus, the entire process right from the submission of RPs by the PRAs till the final approval/rejection of the Plan by the Adjudicating Authority has been duly prescribed, which is mandatory in nature. If there is any non-compliance of the mandatory requirements stated in Section 30(2) of IBC, read with Regulation 38 of the Regulations, 2016, the Adjudicating Authority is empowered to reject the plan as envisaged in sub-section (2) of Section 31. If however, the plan approved by the CoC as per Section 30(4), meets with the requirements under Section 30(2), the Adjudicating Authority has to approve such plan under Section 31(1), which would be binding to all the stakeholders as stated therein. (iv) Maximization of the value of the assets of the Corporate Debtor 66. Much emphasis was laid, during the course of the arguments, for the maximization of the value of the assets of the CD.
It hardly needs to be emphasized that in CIRP, the role of the CoC is that of a protagonist, who takes the key decisions in its commercial wisdom and also takes the consequences thereof. It cannot be IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 gainsaid that the decisions of CoC must reflect the fact that it has taken into account the maximization of the value of the assets of the CD, and that the interest of all the stakeholders has been adequately balanced. However, “What is maximization of the assets” has not been defined in the Code though stated in the Preamble. Of course, it has been referred in Regulation 37 of the Regulations, 2016, which states that RPs shall provide for the measures as may be necessary for insolvency resolution of the CD, for maximization of the value of its assets, which may include the measures as provided in Clauses (a) to (l) thereof. Since the Preamble of IBC envisages “maximization of the value of the assets of the Corporate Debtor,” and to promote entrepreneurship, the measures necessary for maximization of assets stated in Regulation 37, amongst others, will have to be taken into consideration by the CoC while considering the proposed RPs for approval.
67. As observed in K. Sashidhar (supra), the Financial Creditors forming CoC, act on the basis of thorough examination of the proposed RPs and the assessment made by their team of experts. The entire process has to be carried out in an absolutely transparent manner, and each and every aspect relating to the RP, and more particularly its financial layout and the measures proposed for maximization
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 of the value of the assets of the CD, has to be placed before the CoC. The CoC, if after considering such measures for maximization of the value of the assets of the CD as proposed by the RA in the RP submitted by it, and considering the feasibility, viability and such other requirements as mandated in the IBC and in the Regulations, 2016, approves the plan with the requisite number of votes as required under Section 30(4), after exercising its commercial wisdom, then the scope of judicial review by the Adjudicating Authority under Section 31 will be limited only to the extent of satisfying itself about the compliance of the requirements of Section 30(2). The judicial review by the Appellate Authority under Section 61 in the appeal against the order of Adjudicating Authority approving the plan, is further limited to the grounds mentioned in Clauses (i) to (v) specified in subsection (3) of Section 61. [Emphasis Supplied] 69. From the above judgments, it is amply clear that after a resolution plan is approved by the CoC by a majority vote with requisite percentage of Vote applying their commercial wisdom by deliberating on all the financial aspects including value maximisation and considering feasibility and viability of each resolution plan and the entire process is carried out by the RP in an absolutely transparent
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018 manner, the Adjudicating Authority has limited jurisdiction in the matter of approval of a resolution plan, which is well defined and circumscribed by Sections 30(2) and 31 of the Code. In the present case, no such violation has been brought to our notice except certain alleged procedural infirmities because of not considering the addendum filed by one PRA namely Vedanta Ltd. and selecting the plan of SRA/Adani based on the highest score obtained by it in Evaluation Matrix and ignoring the highest NPV bid amount of Vedanta, which is allegedly claimed to be against the object of the Code being value maximisation as challenged vide its IA No. 1/2026. These objections have been dealt with at length by us in a separate order dated 17.03.2026, passed by us, wherein all such objections have been dismissed. Therefore, the plan of SRA/Adani Enterprises Limited before us is also in conformity with the law laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in its various judgments.
ORDER
70. Subject to the observations made in this Order while discussing details of plans, the Resolution Plan of SRA/Adani as filed before us in the present IA, is hereby APPROVED. The Resolution Plan annexed with the present IA in Annexure 36 shall form the part of this Order.

IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
74. Ld. Counsel for SRA has filed an affidavit dated 03.03.2026, on behalf of the SRA, to specify the entities for which SRA may engage them for the implementation of the plan. However, in the plan, CoC has already considered and approved Clause 3.2.3A, which provides the mechanism for implementation of the plan. In this background, no further order is required to be passed in the additional affidavit filed by the SRA.
75. The Monitoring Committee shall also file monthly reports on the progress of the implementation of the Resolution Plan.
76. In case of non-compliance with this order or withdrawal of the Resolution Plan, the CoC shall forfeit the EMD of Rs. 100 Crores deposited at the time of submission of the Resolution Plan, and the performance security of Rs.500 crores already paid by the Successful Resolution Applicant.

78. The Moratorium imposed under section 14 shall cease to have effect from the date of this order.
IA (PLAN) NO.11/2025 IN CP (IB) NO.330/ALD/2018
79. In terms of Clause 4.7.12 of the Resolution Plan as affirmed by the CoC, we order that the CoC or any person duly authorised by it, in such manner as the CoC may determine, shall pursue the PUFE Applications at the cost and expense of the Secured Assenting Non- Class Financial Creditors. As agreed by the Corporate Debtor as mentioned in aforesaid clause of Resolution Plan, the Corporate Debtor is required to cooperate and provide reasonable support to the secured Assenting Non-Class Financial Creditors in relation to continuation of proceedings by the COC. In terms of the aforesaid Clause, if the Corporate Debtor recovers assets or proceeds from the PUFE Applications, such assets or proceeds from the PUFE Applications (net of any costs and taxes) shall be a pass-through to the secured Assenting Non-Class Financial Creditors (forming part of the CoC).
80. The Reliefs and concessions sought by the SRA under Clause 9 of its resolution plan stand directed as follows:
