NCLT Allows SRA Extension for Resolution Plan Payment with ₹1 Crore Penalty
NCLT grants BTL EPC Ltd. an extension until September 30, 2025, to pay the balance of McNally Bharat's resolution plan, imposing a ₹1 crore penalty for delays.
The NCLT's decision directly affects the company's insolvency resolution, providing a temporary reprieve by allowing the SRA more time but also signaling serious issues through the penalty. The ongoing nature of the resolution process and the SRA's past defaults indicate a medium-term impact on the company's stability and operations.
The NCLT's decision to grant an extension for the resolution plan payment prevents an immediate re-initiation of CIRP, which is a positive for the company. However, the imposition of a ₹1 crore penalty on the SRA highlights significant delays and non-compliance, reflecting past negative performance. The overall situation remains uncertain as the full implementation is pending.
* Mcnally Bharat Engineering Company Limited (MBECL) disclosed the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Order dated 23rd September 2025, received on 17th October 2025, regarding its insolvency process under IBC. The NCLT disposed of Company Petition C.P. (IB)/891(KB)2020. * The NCLT allowed the application IA(IBC)/862(KB)2025 filed by the Successful Resolution Applicant (SRA), BTL EPC Ltd., granting an extension until 30th September 2025 to make the balance payment under the resolution plan. * This extension came with a penalty of ₹1 crore, which the SRA must pay to the PM’s National Relief Fund for delays and failure to act on its undertaking. * The NCLT noted that the SRA had failed to implement the resolution plan according to the agreed timelines, which included a first tranche payment of ₹65 crore by 17th February 2024, a second tranche of ₹50 crore by 28th February 2025, and a third tranche of ₹4 crore by 26th March 2025. * The SRA, through its nominee Mandal Vyapaar Private Limited, proposed on 18th August 2025 to make the balance payment of ₹66.19 crore principal and ₹7.64 crore interest. * The Bank of India and other lenders had previously sought to re-run the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) and forfeit funds due to SRA's defaults. * The contempt proceedings (CONT.A. (IBC)/9(KB)2025) against the SRA's representatives were dropped as the banks were satisfied with compliance “as of now”. * Applications IA(I.B.C)/810(KB)2025, RST.A(IBC) No. 3/(KB)2025, and I.A.(IBC)/396(KB)2024 were also disposed of, with liberty to revive the CIRP re-run application if the SRA defaults on balance payments. * A report for the quarter ending 31st March 2025 was taken on record.
