Mumbai NCLT allows 90-day extension of insolvency resolution for Lavasa Corp
MUMBAI
: The Mumbai bench of National Company Law Tribunal (
NCLT
) has allowed a 90-day extension in the ongoing consolidated corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) of
Lavasa Corp
beginning May 29.
The planned city project is undergoing a fresh CIRP after the NCLT, in September 2024, directed that the entire process be restarted, following the successful bidder's failure to implement the approved resolution plan within the specified time frame.
The company has admitted liabilities of more than ₹6,642 crore, while the erstwhile successful bidder,
Darwin Platform Infrastructure
, had proposed to pay ₹1,814 crore.
"We are of the view that the present application deserves to be allowed," the division bench of judicial member Ashish Kalia and technical member Sanjiv Dutt observed on June 2.
"Since the CIRP is at an advanced stage and resolution plans have already been submitted by PRAs (prospective resolution applicants), which are required to be considered by the CoC (committee of creditors), the extension is being sought in the interest of value maximisation and to ensure that the objectives of the Code (
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code
) are duly met."

Bank of Baroda tops bidding for Jet Airways' BKC office in insolvency auction
In a move under the ongoing Jet Airways insolvency proceedings, Bank of Baroda has emerged as the highest bidder for the defunct airline's 83,000 sq ft office space in Mumbai's Godrej BKC commercial tower, located in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) business district, according to a report by The Economic Times. The property, comprising an entire floor in the 19-storey commercial tower, was put up for sale last month by a government-appointed liquidator. The reserve price was fixed at ₹335.24 crore. Brookfield has right of first refusal on BKC office Following the bidding process, the liquidator is now expected to notify Brookfield Asset Management, which holds the right of first refusal (ROFR) on the property. Brookfield has 15 days to decide whether it will match Bank of Baroda's offer to acquire the asset. Brookfield may expand holdings in Godrej BKC tower The report said that Brookfield is likely to exercise its ROFR. The global investment firm already owns two floors in the same tower, purchased in 2020 for ₹490 crore as part of Jet Airways' insolvency resolution. These floors, spread across the third and fourth levels, span about 180,000 sq ft and include 138 car parking slots. Tenants currently occupying this space include marquee names like the World Bank and PayPal. The ROFR agreement at the time also gave Brookfield preferential rights on any additional office space becoming available in the tower — including the currently auctioned second floor. NCLT clears legal hurdles for auctioned office The second floor, currently unoccupied, had been sealed by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai due to outstanding dues. However, on April 28, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) directed the civic body to unseal the office and cease any recovery proceedings, clearing the way for the sale. The asset is being sold on an 'as is where is' basis under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), with all taxes, liabilities, and transfer charges to be borne by the winning bidder, the news report said. Auction details and Jet Airways' real estate legacy The e-auction for the property was conducted on June 2 and included 70 dedicated car parking spaces. Interested bidders were required to submit an earnest money deposit of ₹32.5 crore. The Godrej BKC tower was developed in 2011 through a joint venture between Godrej Properties and Jet Airways. The airline had originally acquired the land from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in 2008 for ₹826 crore before partnering with Godrej for the construction of the commercial building.
