NBCC India receives MCA Order for HSCC Merger, finalizes first motion.
NBCC India received the Ministry of Corporate Affairs' order on the first motion application for the merger with HSCC India. Meetings for shareholders and unsecured creditors are dispensed, though creditors above ₹1 crore will be notified. Various regulatory bodies will receive notices for their reports.
The merger of HSCC (India) Limited with NBCC (India) Limited is a significant corporate action that will materially impact the combined entity's structure, operations, and market position.
The company has received a significant order from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, advancing the merger process. Dispensing with meetings and moving to the confirmation petition stage indicates positive progress.
NBCC (India) Limited has received an order from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on October 09, 2026, concerning the first motion application for the Scheme of Arrangement for the merger between HSCC (India) Limited and NBCC (India) Limited. This follows an earlier intimation on July 18, 2026, regarding the scheme under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013.
The MCA order, issued after a hearing on September 23, 2026, directs the dispensation of meetings for equity shareholders and unsecured creditors of both HSCC (India) Limited (Transferor Company) and NBCC (India) Limited (Transferee Company). This decision was based on affidavits from all equity shareholders of the Transferor Company and submissions regarding the Transferee Company's equity shareholders. For secured creditors, meetings were dispensed as both companies certified having nil secured creditors as of March 31, 2026.
However, individual notices, along with the scheme and relevant documents, will be sent to unsecured creditors with claims exceeding ₹1,00,00,000. These creditors will have 30 days from the receipt of the notice to file any objections. The companies are also directed to issue notices to various authorities, including the Regional Director, Registrar of Companies, Official Liquidator, Income Tax Authorities, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, SEBI, NSE, BSE, and multiple state Real Estate Regulatory Authorities, to solicit their reports as per Section 230(5) of the Companies Act, 2013.
Following compliance with these directions, NBCC (India) Limited and HSCC (India) Limited are to file a Confirmation Petition. The MCA has clarified that this order is issued as a special case and should not be treated as a precedent.
