Supreme Court Clears AdGroup Plan, Dealing Blow to VEDL.NS

The Supreme Court of India officially rejected Vedanta Limited’s request for interim relief regarding the ongoing resolution process for Jaiprakash Associates. On Monday, the bench declined to stay the proceedings, effectively allowing the current resolution plan—which involves AdGroup—to move forward despite Vedanta’s legal challenge.

Vedanta had sought to block the approval of the resolution plan, arguing against the process that granted AdGroup control over the distressed assets. By refusing to grant an interim stay, the court has signaled that the resolution process will continue as scheduled. This decision marks a significant hurdle for Vedanta, which has been actively contesting the outcome of the bidding process.

The legal dispute centers on the corporate insolvency resolution process initiated against Jaiprakash Associates. Stakeholders and industry observers have been closely monitoring this case due to its implications for future insolvency proceedings and the competitive bidding landscape in India. With the Supreme Court declining to intervene at this stage, the legal battle over the resolution plan remains unresolved, though the immediate operations under the AdGroup plan are not currently obstructed by judicial order.
