Bank of Baroda settles NMC Health litigation for $600 million (₹5,700 crore)
Bank of Baroda settled litigation with NMC Health entities for $600 million (approx. ₹5,700 crore). The settlement resolves insolvency and civil proceedings in Abu Dhabi and England & Wales, avoiding prolonged litigation and costs.
The settlement amount of $600 million (₹5,700 crore) is substantial and will impact the bank's financials. While it resolves litigation, the direct financial implication warrants a medium impact assessment.
The settlement resolves litigation, which is a positive step in avoiding further costs and uncertainty. However, the significant settlement amount represents a financial outflow for the bank, making the overall sentiment neutral.
Bank of Baroda has entered into an out-of-court settlement with the joint administrators of NMC Health PLC, NMC Healthcare Ltd, and NMC Holding Ltd, with the payment settled by its Abu Dhabi Branch.
The settlement resolves claims related to Case Nos. ADGMCFI-2022-299 & ADGMCFI-2020-020 before the Abu Dhabi Global Market Court of First Instance and Case No. BL-2022-002097 before the High Court of Justice, England & Wales.
The litigation involved insolvency and civil proceedings under ADGM and UK insolvency law, and UAE civil law concerning NMC Health PLC, NMC Holding Ltd, and NMC Healthcare Ltd. The trial in the ADGM Proceedings commenced on March 23, 2026.
Bank of Baroda will pay US$ 600 million (equivalent to approximately ₹5,700 crore) as part of the settlement agreement. This settlement brings the disputes to a conclusion, avoiding prolonged litigation, uncertainty, and associated costs. The liability of the bank in these proceedings is limited to this sum. Following the settlement, the ADGM proceedings have been discontinued, and the English Proceedings are in the process of being discontinued.
