The report highlighted that the impact of IBC goes beyond just the cases admitted by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
In addition to resolution under IBC, the report pointed out that nearly 30,000 cases involving around Rs 14 lakh crore of debt were settled even before formal admission to the NCLT.

This showed that the IBC has acted as a strong deterrent, pushing borrowers to settle dues early to avoid insolvency proceedings.
The IBC has brought a major shift in the approach to debt resolution in India, moving from a debtor-in-control system to a creditor-in-control framework. This distinguishes it from earlier systems like the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Lok Adalat, and the SARFAESI Act.
Since 2016, total resolved debt through various mechanisms has touched Rs 48 lakh crore. Of this, the IBC has shown the highest recovery rate of around 30-35 per cent, compared to 22 per cent for SARFAESI, 7 per cent for DRT, and 3 per cent for Lok Adalat.
The flexibility under IBC to change management and restructure debt has also helped, especially in reviving viable businesses. In the past three years alone, about 60 per cent of resolution approvals were completed, although they accounted for only 40 per cent of total debt.
However, the report also noted some challenges, particularly the delay in resolution timelines. The average time to resolve a case under IBC has increased to 713 days, more than double the prescribed 330 day limit. The delay is mostly due to procedural bottlenecks and cross-litigations.
To improve this, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has increased NCLT bench strength, allowed online submissions, and permitted part-wise resolution of debt.
Overall, while IBC has become India's primary tool for resolving stressed debt, the report believed the real test will be how effective the recent amendments are in ensuring faster and more efficient outcomes in the future.

India's first hydrogen-powered train coach successfully tested at ICF Chennai: Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday (July 25, 2025) announced that the Indian Railways has successfully tested the country's First hydrogen-powered coach at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. According to the Minister's social media X post, the country is working on a 1,200 horsepower hydrogen train, which will help India to place itself amongst the leaders in hydrogen-powered train technology ."First Hydrogen powered coach (Driving Power Car) successfully tested at ICF, Chennai. India is developing 1,200 HP Hydrogen train. This will place India among the leaders in Hydrogen powered train technology," Mr. Vaishnaw posted on 'X' .In 2023, Mr. Vaishnaw informed Rajya Sabha that Indian Railways has envisaged running 35 Hydrogen trains under "Hydrogen for Heritage" at an estimated cost of ₹80 crore per train and ground infrastructure of Rs 70 crore per route on various heritage and hill routes. Additionally, the Indian Railways has also awarded a pilot project for retrofitment of a Hydrogen Fuel cell on an existing Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) rake along with ground infrastructure at the cost of ₹111.83 crores, which is planned to be run on the Jind-Sonipat section of Northern Railway. The running cost of a Hydrogen fuel-based train is not established in IR scenario. It is estimated that the initial running cost of the Hydrogen fuel train set will be higher, which will subsequently reduce with an increase in the number of trains. Further, the use of Hydrogen as fuel provides larger benefits in the direction of green transportation technology to support zero carbon emission goals as a clean energy source. Last year, in a significant step towards promoting sustainable transportation solutions, Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas, showcased India's advancements in green hydrogen mobility by demonstrating a hydrogen-fuelled bus powered by India's oil PSU Indian Oil to the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Shri Tshering Tobgay and his delegation.

Subsidy on EVs below 40 lakh to be restored
The subsidy on electric vehicles (EVs) priced below Rs 40 lakh is set to be restored. At present, a subsidy of up to 15% is available only on EVs costing over Rs 40 lakh - a price point out of reach for the middle class. While chairing a high-level review meeting with officers from his department regarding the new MSME policy, industries and commerce minister Rao Narbir Singh on Thursday directed officials to restore the subsidy on electric vehicles to "provide relief to middle-class consumers", besides promoting eco-friendly transport. The minister emphasised that promoting green energy will be meaningful only if its benefits reach the common citizen. Haryana Electric Vehicle Policy 2022 offered a 15% subsidy (up to a maximum of Rs 6 lakh) on EVs priced between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 40 lakh. The subsidy ended on March 31, 2024 and the new policy focuses on electric two- and three-wheelers.
