NCLAT Upholds Adani Goodhomes' Resolution Plan for Radius Estate

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has upheld the resolution plan proposed by Adani Goodhomes for realty firm Radius Estate, despite dissent from financial creditors. The plan, which includes a significant 93 percent haircut for creditors, received validation from the NCLAT Chairman, who emphasized the commercial wisdom behind the Committee of Creditors' decision.

Initially approved by the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on January 9, 2022, Adani Goodhomes' resolution plan garnered an 83.99 percent vote from the Committee of Creditors (CoC) and was subsequently endorsed by the NCLT. The plan ensures the possession of nearly 700 flats for homebuyers without any price escalation.

However, dissenting financial creditors, including Beacon Trusteeship and ICICI Prudential Venture Capital Fund Real Estate, contested the plan's fairness before the NCLAT. Despite their objections, the NCLAT maintained that the CoC's decision to allocate units to homebuyers and provide financial creditors with a haircut was within the bounds of commercial prudence.

Adani Goodhomes had proposed a payment of approximately Rs 760 million against total claims amounting to Rs 17 billion. Despite the substantial disparity, the plan assures the completion of the project's construction.

The dissenting creditors argued that the plan unfairly favored homebuyers over financial creditors, alleging irregularities in asset valuation and procedural lapses by the resolution professional. However, the NCLAT dismissed these claims, emphasizing the CoC's prerogative in approving the resolution plan.

In its 59-page order, the NCLAT affirmed the NCLT's decision, highlighting the thorough consideration of statutory provisions. The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Radius Estate was initiated in April 2021, following a plea by Beacon Trusteeship Ltd, stemming from financial constraints hindering construction progress since March 2018.

Despite the challenges and dissent, Adani Goodhomes' resolution plan for Radius Estate has withstood legal scrutiny, signaling a significant development in the resolution of insolvency cases within the real estate sector.
