Vikram Solar Limited faces Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process admission by NCLT Kolkata
Vikram Solar Limited (VSL) has been admitted into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) by the NCLT Kolkata. The admission follows an application by operational creditor M/s Isitva Steels Private Limited for an alleged debt of ₹9.44 crore. NCLT ruled that the debt is an operational debt and the dispute raised by VSL was an afterthought. Ms. Tripti Agarwal appointed as IRP.
Admission into CIRP has a severe impact on the company's operations, financial standing, management control, and stakeholder confidence. It triggers a moratorium and professional oversight, fundamentally altering the company's status.
The company has been admitted into the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which is a significant negative event for the company and its stakeholders.
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Kolkata Bench, has admitted an application filed by M/s Isitva Steels Private Limited for initiating the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Vikram Solar Limited. The application was filed under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, for an alleged operational debt amounting to ₹9,44,12,332. The tribunal observed that the claim arose from sub-contracting works for a solar power project and that despite a settlement agreement, the corporate debtor failed to meet its payment obligations. The NCLT noted that the settlement did not constitute accord and satisfaction until fully performed, and since Vikram Solar Limited failed to perform, the operational creditor's rights under the original contract were revived. The tribunal found that the petition met the minimum threshold of ₹1 crore and that the dispute raised by the corporate debtor was an afterthought and not a genuine pre-existing dispute.
Consequently, the NCLT has ordered the initiation of CIRP against Vikram Solar Limited and has appointed Ms. Tripti Agarwal as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). A moratorium under Section 14 of the Code has also been imposed, prohibiting the institution or continuation of suits, transfer of assets, and recovery of property against the corporate debtor. The IRP is directed to make a public announcement regarding the admission of the application and call for the submission of claims. The management of Vikram Solar Limited's affairs will now vest with the IRP.
