Torrent Power Challenges NCLAT Approval of Sarda Energy's SKS Power Bid

Torrent Power has filed a petition with the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) challenging the recent approval of Sarda Energy?s bid for SKS Power. Torrent Power argues that the approval process for Sarda Energy?s bid did not adhere to the necessary regulatory and procedural standards.

The dispute centres around the acquisition of SKS Power, a significant player in the Indian power sector. Torrent Power's objection highlights concerns regarding the fairness and transparency of the bidding process, asserting that the approval of Sarda Energy's bid could potentially undermine competitive bidding principles.

Torrent Power's legal move comes after the Committee of Creditors (CoC) approved Sarda Energy?s resolution plan for SKS Power. The resolution plan was initially approved under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) framework, which aims to resolve distressed assets and facilitate their revival.

The company?s petition seeks a review of the decision, arguing that the bid should be reassessed to ensure compliance with regulatory norms and fairness in the resolution process. Torrent Power contends that the approval process lacked adequate scrutiny and transparency, impacting the competitive nature of the bidding.

The NCLAT?s review of the petition will be critical in determining the future course of the SKS Power acquisition. The tribunal will evaluate Torrent Power?s objections and assess whether the approval of Sarda Energy?s bid aligns with legal and regulatory standards.

This legal challenge underscores the complexities of the insolvency resolution process and the competitive dynamics within the Indian power sector. The outcome of Torrent Power?s petition could have significant implications for the acquisition process and future resolutions of distressed assets.
