Nod to Resurgent Power’s takeover of UP Transmission

The Uttar Pradesh power regulator has approved the takeover of the South East UP Power Transmission Company by Resurgent Power Ventures, a JV between Tata Power and ICICI Bank. It had emerged as the highest bidder in February, quoting Rs 3,251 crore upfront payment for the stressed transmission asset under insolvency.

The NCLT cleared the bid in June.
