Jaiprakash Associates' attempt to settle its debts through a one-time settlement proposal has been rebuffed by its lenders. The company, grappling with significant financial liabilities, proposed the settlement in a bid to resolve outstanding dues and streamline its financial position.

The proposal, which aimed to offer a consolidated payment to creditors in exchange for debt forgiveness or restructuring, did not find favour among the lenders. Sources familiar with the matter cited concerns over the adequacy of the offered amount and the terms proposed, leading to the rejection.
