IL&FS taps NCLT doors against Brookfield bid
IL&FS filed a petition in NCLT Mumbai bench on June 26, seeking to dismiss the Brookfield-backed bid for its flagship BKC property, the IL&FS Financial Centre (TIFC), citing bidder disqualification and non-compliance with bidding conditions.
In its petition, IL&FS alleged that an affiliate of Brookfield, Chronos Properties, was required to maintain Performance Guarantee until the execution of definitive agreements.
Chronos Properties failed to renew a Rs108-crore Performance Guarantee, which expired in April, 2025, IL&FS said in the petition, adding that this entitles IL&FS to invoke the performance guarantees in addition to pursue remedies including disqualifying the bidder.
'The failure to maintain its bid security has extinguished any entitlement to proceed with the acquisition. The company has, therefore, urged the NCLT to declare Chronos' application infructuous and dismiss it,' said the petition.
IL&FS has emphasised that 'value maximisation' is an important tenets for the public interest board's mandate under the court-supervised resolution process and approved resolution framework and sought Brookfield to revise its offer in line with the updated valuation, as per the filing with NCLT shoring resolution progress, the petition added.

Cryptocurrency Live News & Updates : Is 'Chokepoint 3.0' Targeting Crypto Banks?
02 Aug 2025 | 11:35:12 PM IST Big banks are allegedly implementing 'Operation Chokepoint 3.0' by imposing high fees on fintech and crypto services, according to a16z's Alex Rampell. Recent discussions in the crypto space highlight significant challenges posed by traditional banks. Alex Rampell from Andreessen Horowitz warns that banks are charging exorbitant fees for accessing account data and transferring funds to crypto platforms, which could stifle competition. This follows the previous 'Chokepoint 2.0' era, where crypto businesses faced debanking pressures. Meanwhile, ONDO is currently testing critical support levels, with a potential bullish reversal if it holds above $0.83. In the corporate finance arena, Michael Saylor's Strategy has launched a Bitcoin-backed preferred stock, STRC, raising $2.5 billion, which he likens to an 'iPhone moment' for the firm. Lastly, Pepeto is emerging as a notable memecoin within Ethereum's ecosystem, combining meme culture with practical tools like zero-fee exchanges.

Elon Musk's Starlink Axed In Canada's Ontario Amid Trump's Tariff War Firstpost America
Elon Musk's Starlink Axed In Canada's Ontario Amid Trump's Tariff War | Firstpost America | N18G US-Canada trade tensions: The Canadian province of Ontario canceled a $68.12 million satellite high-speed internet contract with Elon Musk's company Starlink, following through with a vow by the province's premier, Doug Ford, to cut ties in retaliation for US tariffs imposed on Canada. Ontario's threat to block American goods first emerged after President Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and proposed a 35 per cent duty on exports. Despite urgent rural internet needs, Musk's project became collateral damage in the trade dispute. Musk, once an ally of Trump and a key figure in his administration, saw their alliance crumble over policy disagreements. As Canada and the US scramble to finalise a trade deal before the August 1 deadline, Prime Minister Mark Carney warns talks are complex and may not conclude in time. See More

Hit by EU sanctions! Russia-backed Nayara Energy looks at India's state-run oil companies to offload petrol, diesel exports - here's what's happening
Russia-backed Nayara Energy looks at India's state-run oil companies to offload petrol, diesel exports Nayara Energy has approached Indian state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) to offload its export volumes of petrol and diesel after Western sanctions on Russia's oil and energy sector, according to a senior industry official, reported Economic Times. Nayara Energy is India's second-largest single-site refinery in Vadinar, Gujarat, with a capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). The company contributes around 8% of India's refining output, but is currently running the facility at a reduced capacity of about 80%, sources said. Nayara also runs a retail network of over 6,300 fuel stations, accounting for about 7% of India's total, and has plans to scale this up by over 50% by 2030. However, July 18 sanctions by EU member states on Russia's energy have a direct impact on Nayara Energy operations. Russian energy giant Rosneft holds a 49.13% stake in the company. The sanctions lowered the price cap on Russian oil to $47.6 per barrel from $60 and targeted 'shadow fleet ships' used for Russian crude transportation. In a July 21 statement, Nayara Energy said it would continue to invest over Rs 70,000 crore in downstream projects, including petrochemicals, ethanol plants, marketing infrastructure, and ESG-linked refinery upgrades, reiterating its long-term commitment to India's energy sector. Since August 2017, Nayara has already deployed over Rs 14,000 crore into projects across India, including refinery upgrades and a new polypropylene unit in Vadinar, marking its entry into the high-growth petrochemical segment. The company added it contributes 8% to the country's polypropylene capacity and employs over 55,000 people directly and indirectly. 'Our operations are closely aligned with India's national priorities,' Nayara said in a statement, reaffirming its investment roadmap and its annual Rs 200 crore CSR budget focused on community development.
