INSCO submits Rs 2,752 crore revised plan for HNGIL takeover after SC order
The Committee of Creditors (CoC) is likely to consider the revised proposal, and voting is likely to commence on Thursday, sources said.
INSCO, a company promoted by the Madhvani Group, having operations in many countries, has submitted a revised resolution plan on June 8, making Rs 2,752 crore offer comprising Rs 2,200 crore in upfront cash and equity valued at around Rs 550 crore.
The revised offer comes following the Supreme Court's directive to match the offer previously made by AGI Greenpac.
As per the apex court's order, only INSCO's plan will be considered for approval, with the entire resolution process, including voting, to be completed by July 2025.
INSCO's plan outlines payment of the entire Rs 2,200 crore cash component within 30 days of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approval, along with infusion of working capital and equity issuance to CoC members within 90 days.
To fund the acquisition, INSCO has submitted a non-binding term sheet to Cerberus Capital Management with the resolution plan.
"It is estimated that significant capex would be required to revive and revitalise the business. We have budgeted about Rs 1,000 crore to rebuild all the furnaces and other equipment over the next few years," the resolution plan said.
However, sources said, some of the CoC members have flagged serious concerns over the viability and transparency of the proposal.
Further, sources said, lenders allege that INSCO's current plan does not adhere fully to the Supreme Court's directives.
Initially, AGI Greenpac was the front runner for HGIL, with a bid of Rs 2,752 crore. However, the Supreme Court in January rejected the bid on the ground that the company did not have a Competition Commission of India (CCI) approval for the acquisition.
INSCO had moved the court seeking cancellation of AGI Greepac's bid since the company did not receive CCI approval.
While rejecting a review petition filed by AGI Greenpac, the Supreme Court directed INSCO, the second-highest bidder, to match the offer given by AGI Greenpac.
The court also directed the resolution professional to complete the resolution process involving the approval of the INSCO resolution plan by the CoC by July 2025.

CM: Power projects with 1 lakh cr investment underway in Arunachal
1 2 New Delhi: Multiple hydro-power projects with an investment of over Rs 1 lakh crore are underway in Arunachal Pradesh to produce 18,000 MW of power, chief minister Pema Khandu has said. Five of these projects of 2,620 MW have been allocated by the state govt to the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Ltd (NEEPCO), five projects of 5,097 MW to Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd (SJVN) and two projects with a capacity of 3,800 MW to the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation. "As of now, on the ground, the work for generating a total of 18,000 MW of hydro-power is on. In the coming days, we will add more projects. All these projects involved more than Rs 1 lakh crore investment," Khandu told PTI in an interview here. He said these projects were earlier allotted to private sector developers but remained non-starters due to various reasons. Arunachal Pradesh govt, therefore, decided to rope in central hydro PSUs to give a push to the languishing projects. "These projects remained on paper only as the developers did not take an initiative. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like นี่อาจเป็นโอกาสทองที่ดีที่สุดในรอบ 5 ปีสำหรับการเทรดทองคำ IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo After I became the chief minister, I reviewed all the projects and cancelled them. I have conveyed to the central govt that a hydro power project means big investment. Private companies are not in a position to execute them. Only the Govt of India should take the initiative," he said. The chief minister said the state govt held a meeting with the Prime Minister and, after that, zeroed in on central PSUs — NHPC, NEEPCO and SJVN — and signed agreements basin-wise. He said wherever there were immediate doable projects, the state govt signed the MoUs for the development of 13,000 MWs last year. "Besides these, there are some ongoing projects like the Lower Subansiri hydro-electric project of 2,000 MW. It will start generating power from next year. There is one more project which is even bigger than the Lower Subansiri — that will produce 2880 MW power. Work on this project has also started," he said. Once operational, the Lower Subansiri hydro-power project will be the biggest hydropower plant of India. After that, the proposed 2,880 MW Dibang multipurpose hydroelectric project is expected to be commissioned in 2032. It will also have the tallest dam in India with a height of about 288 metres. PTI

HC questions irregularities in preparing DPRs of Cuttack drain project
1 2 Cuttack: Orissa high court has taken serious note of irregularities in the preparation of detailed project reports (DPRs) related to the Rs 335.42 crore branch surface water channel (BSWC) drain project in Cuttack. A division bench of Justices S K Sahoo and V Narasingh, while hearing the matter on July 11, came down heavily on the housing and urban development department and noted with concern that the DPRs submitted by Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) were neither authenticated nor bore the names of officials involved in their preparation. The court termed the lapses as "startling". The bench also questioned how a Bhubaneswar-based private consultancy firm came to represent the city engineer (CMC) during a crucial meeting held on April 30. "There is nothing on record to indicate how the private company could represent a govt official," the court observed. "The lackadaisical manner in which the entire project is being handled is tell-tale," the bench remarked and directed the secretary of the department to file an affidavit by July 21, clarifying the appointment of the firm, reasons for overlooking IIT Bhubaneswar, and whether any departmental or vigilance inquiry is being initiated into the handling of the project. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The engineer has also been directed to submit a separate affidavit detailing the basis for involving the firm and referring the DPRs to Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT), Burla. The matter pertains to the proposed construction of five BSWC drains in the city. Despite a decision taken in Dec 2023 to consult IIT Bhubaneswar for an expert review of the DPRs, the documents were sent instead to VSSUT. The shift was based on a communication dated June 17 this year from the firm. "It does not stand to reason how the govt's direction to consult IIT Bhubaneswar, keeping in mind the hydraulic analysis required, was ignored," the bench stated. When questioned by the court, the engineer assured the revised DPRs would be submitted by July 25. However, the judges noted the absence of any explanation as to why the firm was involved and why the IIT's expertise was bypassed.

PM-eBus Sewa scheme: Min urges Centre to give subsidies to states
Mangaluru: The central govt should provide direct subsidies to state govts to procure electric buses under the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme, instead of allocating them to private operators under the PPP model, said Karnataka transport minister Ramalinga Reddy. He was speaking after inaugurating the new automated driving test track at Kamblapadavu in Pajir village, Ullal taluk, on Sunday. The procurement and operation of electric buses was easy during the UPA regime. While the central govt was providing 50% of the fund, the state and its transport corporations had to invest 25% each to operate buses. Now, under the NDA regime, buses are not given directly to states but instead procured through tenders, and the subsidy goes to the participating bidders. They will own the buses, hire drivers, and also maintain the vehicles while the state corporations have to appoint conductors and pay the operators on a kilometre basis. The minister suggested that the central govt should directly pay the subsidy to the state transport corporations across the nation. He added that a discussion in this regard was held with Union minister HK Kumaraswamy too. On 100 electric buses sanctioned to Mangaluru under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme, the minister said the depot and terminal will be developed soon after land was identified. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invertir con Cervecería Nacional CFD, si tienes 30 o más, puede alegrar tu cuenta bancaria Empieza a invertir hoy Más información Undo On the new automated driving test track, Reddy said Karnataka will have the highest number of automated driving test stations in the country. "In fact, chief minister Siddaramaiah was scheduled to inaugurate the facility, which was developed at a cost of Rs 7.5 crore. However, due to technical reasons, the programme was postponed. Govt has been providing automated driving test tracks at 42 centres covering all districts in the state," he said. Karnataka assembly speaker UT Khader presided while Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta, among others, were guests. Automated test to begin in 10 days RTO Sridhar K Mallad said the new automated driving test station set up as per the guidelines of the central govt will replace the manual inspections. "Further, it will increase efficiency while preventing corruption and interference of middlemen. There are separate automated driving test tracks for two-wheelers, light motor vehicles, and heavy vehicles," he said. "The manual facility at Vamanjoor will be shifted to the new facility at Kamblapadavu within a few days. The new automated driving test track will be made operational within 10 days after the services are linked to the NIC. Once the linking process is completed, applicants will have to apply and book slots for tests online," he said.
