Vedanta Limited's share price jumped 4.17% to ₹718.80 ($8.66 USD) on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) ahead of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) hearing regarding the insolvency case of Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL). The Supreme Court instructed the NCLAT to expedite the hearing, which is scheduled for April 10. This decision allows Vedanta to contest the approval of Adani Enterprises Limited's resolution plan, valued at ₹14,535 crore ($1.75 billion USD), which was favored by creditors due to its quicker payment terms. Vedanta argues that its own plan, estimated at ₹17,926 crore ($2.16 billion USD), would provide an additional recovery of ₹3,400 crore ($408 million USD) for creditors. The upcoming NCLAT hearing is seen as a pivotal moment that could influence the outcome for both bidders and creditors, as well as the overall insolvency framework in India.
