The insolvency process in the sector marked the entry of Liberty House into India's steel industry, a name largely unknown in the country, beating established ones like the Tatas and the JSW Steel. With more than a dozen stressed power assets now piling up at insolvency courts, one may ask if the sector will see the emergence of a Liberty.

Outside of NCLAT, lenders saw interest from companies like Adani Power, Tata Power's joint venture Resurgent Power and JSW Energy for the take over of stressed companies. This, most industry experts say is unlikely to change in a big way.
