JSW Steel on Friday said implementation of the resolution plan for Bhushan Power & Steel (BPSL) was in compliance with the law and that it was exploring all available legal remedies, suggesting that it may file a review of the Supreme Court verdict -- rejecting its 2021 acquisition of BPSL.
The firm said that it had taken all steps to successfully revive the company to its present status.
“We along with legal advisors have assessed the matter and believe that we have strong grounds for availing all available legal remedies,” JSW said in a statement on Friday.
On May 2, the company suffered a major setback when the apex court rejected its resolution plan for BPSL and ordered liquidation, about four years after acquisition under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
The apex court directed creditors of BPSL to refund the money and equity contribution made in the debt-laden company. This was in line with a Supreme Court order dated March 6, 2020.
