CoC approves JSW Infra's resolution
plan for NCR Rail Infrastructure
The resolution plan submitted by Sajjan
Jindal-owned JSW Infrastructure (JSW Infra) for logistics firm NCR Rail
Infrastructure under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) of the
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016, has been approved by NCR Rail
Infrastructure's Committee of Creditors (CoC).
JSW Infra, in a note submitted to the
stock exchanges on Thursday (10 July), stated that it has received a Letter of
Intent (LoI) from the resolution professional on 10 July 2025.
NCR Rail owns and operates a Private
Freight Terminal (PFT) in Khurja, Uttar Pradesh, with six rail lines. The
facility is strategically located approximately 90 kilometres from New Delhi
and about 40 km from the upcoming Jewar Airport.
The facility also features two covered,
fully constructed, and operational warehouses with an area of around 0.2
million square feet. It owns a land bank of about 130 acres, which would be
added to JSW Infra's existing undeveloped land bank of over 100 acres if the
resolution plan is executed.
The plan is subject to the terms of the
LoI and requisite approvals from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and
any other regulatory authority, courts, or tribunals under applicable laws.
In addition, insolvency proceedings
against NCR Rail Infrastructure (formerly known as Arshiya Rail Infrastructure)
were initiated in March 2024, as Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company had
approached the NCLT over a default of Rs.71
crore.
According to the NCLT order dated 2 July
2025, 25 Expressions of Interest (EoIs) were received for the resolution plan
of NCR Rail Infrastructure. Adani Group-owned Ambuja Cements had also submitted
an EoI for the resolution plan.
Earlier, in an interaction with Business
Standard, Lalit Singhvi, Whole-Time Director and Chief Financial Officer at JSW
Infra, had stated that the company was looking for inorganic growth
opportunities to expand its logistics business, with bids submitted to the
NCLT.
