22 Bidders, Including Jindal Power and Vedanta, Bid for Gupta Power

Gupta Power Limited (Gupta Power) has received offers from 22 bidders, with Jindal Power Limited (Jindal Power) and Vedanta Limited (Vedanta) among the parties that submitted proposals. The submissions were made as part of the ongoing insolvency process overseen by the resolution professional appointed to manage the affairs of the company. The filings mark a significant phase in the insolvency timeline and reflect sustained interest from industry participants and financiers.

The pool of suitors comprises strategic operators and financial investors attracted by the asset base and potential turnaround opportunities at Gupta Power. Interested parties were required to adhere to timelines and documentation standards set by the insolvency regulations, and the resolution professional has begun preliminary checks for procedural compliance. The participation of established power sector players underlines the sectoral consolidation trends and the appetite for distressed assets that offer capacity or fuel linkages.

The Committee of Creditors (CoC) will evaluate the offers and assess their viability against stakeholder interests, with the resolution professional (RP) presenting compliant bids for consideration. The evaluation process is likely to examine technical capability, financial strength and proposed value realisation for creditors, as well as regulatory and environmental clearances that may be required. The CoC is expected to follow statutory timelines while weighing competing plans to reach a consensus on the recommended resolution.

Next steps will involve due diligence, shortlisting and negotiations with selected bidders before a final resolution plan is approved and implemented. The outcome will shape recovery prospects for creditors and determine operational continuity for employees and contractors associated with the assets. Market participants will monitor developments closely for implications on sectoral consolidation and the treatment of stressed power sector exposures.
