DHFL jumps after NCLT approves Piramal Group's resolution plan

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved Piramal Group's overall resolution plan for Dewan Housing Finance (DHFL) on Monday (7 June 2021).

Shares of DHFL hit an upper circuit of 10% at Rs 22.75, extending gains for sixth day. The stock has added 30.37% in six sessions, from its recent closing low of Rs 17.45 on 1 June 2021.

In January, Piramal Capital and Housing Finance, a subsidiary of Piramal Enterprises, had won a bid for acquiring DHFL. Piramal made Rs 37,250-crore bid to acquire the housing finance company. The resolution plan had received approvals from RBI in February 2021 and the Competition Commission of India (CCI) in April 2021.

"As part of the Resolution Plan, the equity shares of the Company are proposed to be delisted," DHFL said in an exchange filing on Monday.

DHFL had gone bankrupt with more than Rs 90,000 crore in debt to various lenders, including banks, mutual funds and individual investors who kept fixed deposits with the company. The lenders of the company had classified the account as a fraud on alleged fund diversion by promoters Kapil Wadhawan and his brother Dheeraj Wadhawan.
