NIRMAL LIFESTYLE KALYAN

The market capitalisation of NSE-listed companies surpassed $4 trillion on 1 December 2023. The benchmark Nifty 50 and MSCI India indices delivered 16% YTD returns, against the MSCI indices of China, Brazil, the UK and Europe, with returns ranging from -15% to 12.3%. The investors’ sentiments are buoyed by the strength of the Indian economy, which is visible from the above-expectation 7.6% GDP growth in the second quarter of 2023. Going forward, the analysts expect reasonable earnings growth, supported by continuing capex programmes of corporate India.

The Supreme Court on Thursday has dismissed a petition filed by the promoters of Nirmal Lifestyle (Kalyan) to set aside an order passed by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), which allowed lenders to carry on with insolvency resolution proceedings against the real estate developer.

The tribunal said the CoC may take a call regarding finding out ways and means to complete the stalled projects of Nirmal Lifestyle (Kalyan). With the approval of the CoC, the resolution professional may take steps to obtain interim finances to complete the projects.

The portfolio includes loans to Gurugram-based real estate developer Vatika Group (₹730 crore) and distressed Nirmal Lifestyle Kalyan (₹430 crore). Acre ARC paid ₹602 crore in an all-cash deal, representing a 49% haircut for HDFC, said a person familiar with the deal.

Kolkata-based Srei Equipment Finance Ltd had approached the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) after Nirmal Lifestyle Kalyan, an affiliate of Mumbai-based Nirmal Lifestyle Ltd, defaulted on its dues worth around Rs 84 crore.
