Adani Enterprises, Vedanta, others in fray to acquire Jaiprakash Associates
On Tuesday, sources had said that Billionaire Gautam Adani group firm Adani Enterprises, mining mogul Anil Agarwal's Vedanta, Dalmia Bharat Cement and Jaypee Infratech have submitted their bids.
PNC Infratech is also believed to have put in its bid.
Lenders of Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL) met on Wednesday to open the bids submitted by the interested parties. The last date was June 24.
Resolution plan of Jaypee Infratech Ltd, which has been acquired by Mumbai-based Suraksha Group, may get rejected as it has not fulfilled certain criteria.
In April, as many as 25 companies showed interest to acquire JAL.
Baba Ramdev-led Patanjali Ayurved, however, did not submit the resolution plan after showing initial interest.
JAL, which has business interests spanning real estate, cement manufacturing, hospitality, and engineering & construction, was admitted into the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) through the National Company Law Tribunal, Allahabad Bench, order dated June 3, 2024.
JAL was taken to insolvency proceedings after the conglomerate defaulted on payment of loans.
Creditors are claiming a staggering Rs 57,185 crore.
The National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd (NARCL) leads the list of claimants after acquiring the stressed JAL loans from a consortium of lenders headed by the State Bank of India (SBI).
JAL has major real estate projects like Jaypee Greens in Greater Noida, a part of Jaypee Greens Wishtown in Noida (both on the outskirts of the national capital), and the Jaypee International Sports City, strategically located near the upcoming Jewar International Airport.
It also has three commercial/industrial office spaces in Delhi-NCR, while its hotel division has five properties in Delhi-NCR, Mussoorie, and Agra.
JAL has four cement plants in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, and a few leased limestone mines in Madhya Pradesh. The cement plants, however, are non-operational.
It also has investments in subsidiaries, including Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd, Yamuna Expressway Tolling Ltd, Jaypee Infrastructure Development Ltd and several other companies.
Jaypee Group's Jaypee Infratech has already been acquired by Mumbai-based Suraksha Group through an insolvency process. Suraksha Group has to complete various stalled projects comprising around 20,000 apartments in Noida and Greater Noida.

Foreign liabilities of MFs rose 19.9% to $30.5 bn in 2024-25: RBI survey
Domestic mutual fund industry's foreign liabilities surged 19.9 per cent to $30.5 billion, in market value terms during financial year 2025, primarily driven by an increase in units issued to non-residents, a Reserve Bank of India survey showed. Among major countries, non-residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) held the largest share in mutual fund (MF) units, both in terms of face value (21.2 per cent) as well as at market value (20.2 per cent) during fiscal 2025. In face value terms, foreign liabilities in units of MFs held by non-residents of UAE increased by 32.8 per cent to Rs 3,305 crore in FY25, while in market value terms, they rose by 28 per cent to Rs 11,508 crore. The non-residents of other countries that own a large share of domestic MF units, in face value terms, include the United States of America (USA) – 11.2 per cent, the United Kingdom (UK) – 10.8, and Singapore – 6.6 per cent. The survey showed that overseas assets of MFs declined by 5.6 per cent and stood at $8.3 billion in March 2025, due to lower holdings of foreign equity securities. As a result, the net foreign liabilities of MFs increased to $22.2 billion in March 2025 from $16.6 billion a year ago. The findings are based on the RBI's survey of Foreign Liabilities and Assets of the Mutual Funds showed. The survey covered 45 Indian MFs and their Asset Management Companies (AMCs), which held or acquired foreign assets or liabilities during 2024-25 or in the preceding years. It showed that over 95 per cent of the overseas equity investment of domestic mutual funds (MFs) were concentrated in the USA (64.4 per cent), Luxembourg (19.7 per cent), and Ireland (11 per cent). Foreign liabilities of AMCs increased by 16.8 per cent and stood at $7.5 billion in March 2025, on the back of higher inward direct investment. Residents in Japan, Canada and the UK together accounted for over 83 per cent of FDI (foreign direct investment) among Indian AMCs.
