Suraksha gets nod from creditors, homebuyers for Jaypee takeover

Suraksha Group has received approval from financial creditors and homebuyers to takeover debt-laden Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL).

The bidding process on the takeover proposals submitted by National Buildings Construction Corporation Ltd (NBCC) and Suraksha group ended on June 23.

JIL's Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) Anuj Jain said that the Suraksha group has won the bid with 98.66% votes. He further added that the group got 0.12% more votes than NBCC.

On the other hand, the NBCC bid gets 98.54% of votes only marginally less than Suraksha Group.

Suraksha Group offered 2,552 acres of land with a fair value of Rs 6,456 crore to secured financial creditors. Rs 1,280 crore as instruments to secured financial creditors and fixed deposit holders offered Rs 29 crore repayment.

The group will infuse a working capital of Rs 3,000 crore to finish the homebuyers project to complete the project in 40 months.

JIL's successful resolution will provide a major relief to above 20,000 homebuyers across various housing projects launched by the realty developer in Noida and Greater Noida.

Over 20,000 homebuyers and around 12 banks have voting rights in the Committee of Creditors (CoC). Lenders have submitted a total claim of Rs 9,783 crore.

This is the fourth round bidding process of the JIL bankruptcy case by an IDBI Bank-led consortium after the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) admitted an application. The bank's total admitted claims are Rs 9,782 crore.
