IBC reset needed: Delays in the resolution process must be addressed
Business Standard Editorial Comment Mumbai
Listen to This Article
As reported by this newspaper, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, in a meeting last week, discussed the possibility of establishing a dedicated National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) to expedite the resolution of insolvency cases under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). Since the government is expected to introduce amendments to the IBC in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament, the committee would do well to take this discussion forward and make suitable recommendations. The implementation of the IBC is seen as one of the most significant reforms in recent decades. For

Angel One posts lower quarterly profit on derivative trading curbs
Indian brokerage Angel One on Wednesday posted a 61 per cent fall in first-quarter profit, as tighter rules for equity derivatives trading in India weighed on retail activity, a key driver for the brokerage's earnings. The company's consolidated profit fell to $13.3 million in the three months ended June 30, compared with Rs 293 crore a year earlier. The Securities and Exchange Board of India in October last year raised the entry barrier for derivatives trading by nearly tripling the minimum trading lot size and limiting weekly options contracts to one per exchange, making it more costly to trade in the asset class. The move, aimed at curbing speculative retail trading, raised concerns about near-term pressure on volumes and revenue for brokers heavily reliant on derivatives' turnover. Angel One said in a business update in early July that its gross client acquisition dropped 40 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter, while its overall average daily turnover (ADTO) declined 18 per cent. Revenue from operations fell almost 19 per cent to Rs 1,141 crore, the company reported on Wednesday.

India's non-life insurance premiums rise 5.2% in June 2025: CareEdge
India's non-life insurance industry registered a 5.2 per cent increase year-on-year in premiums to Rs 23,422.5 crore in June 2025, according to a report released by CareEdge Ratings on Wednesday. This was lower than the 8.4 per cent growth recorded in June 2024. "The transition to the 1/n rule has impacted the industry's performance, resulting in a slowdown in health insurance growth to single digits and muted growth in the passenger vehicle (PV) segment, which was partially offset by renewals in the commercial lines," the report noted. Despite the moderation in premium growth, non-life insurance premiums crossed the Rs 3-lakh crore mark in FY25, driven by supportive regulations, rising insurtech adoption, accelerating digitalisation, and an expanding middle class, the report said. Moreover, the government's Bima Trinity push is poised to accelerate growth in the non-life insurance sector. Further, standalone health insurers are expected to maintain their dominance in the retail health space. "At the same time, the trajectory of motor insurance will closely follow vehicle sales and the upcoming revisions to third-party tariffs. The proposed roll out of composite licences could reshape the competitive landscape in the medium term," Priyesh Ruparelia, Director of CareEdge Ratings, said. "However, rising competition and global geopolitical uncertainties will remain crucial watchpoints for the sector," Ruparelia added.

JP Associates takeover: Lenders stuck over Adani Enterprises' unconditional bid - here's what's causing the deadlock
The situation has reached an impasse because Adani's proposal, despite being unconditional, is not the highest offer available. (AP file photo) Lenders of JP Associates appear to be in a dilemma regarding Adani Enterprises ' unconditional bid for the company. The challenge for lenders lies in assessing comparable offers, as other potential buyers have submitted proposals with specific conditions attached, according to an ET report. The situation has reached an impasse because Adani's proposal, despite being unconditional, is not the highest offer available. The resolution to this issue would require additional unconditional bids, the report said. The insolvency and bankruptcy code (IBC) allows lenders to select an unconditional offer when no similar bids exist. As reported by the financial daily earlier, Adani Enterprises has offered Rs 12,600 crore for JP Associates. This proposal stands out because the payment structure is not contingent upon future uncertainties, such as potential legal complications. Why Lenders Are Stuck Companies like Dalmia Cement Bharat, Jindal Power and Vedanta have submitted proposals to acquire the financially troubled JP Associates. According to sources quoted in the report, their proposals include stipulations related to settling a land dispute. The majority of bidders have submitted proposals ranging between Rs 12,000 crore and Rs 14,000 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 4BHK+Family Lounge+Utility room at 4.49Cr (All Incl)* ATS Triumph, Gurgaon Book Now Undo This week, creditors are expected to request clarification from competing bidders regarding the conditions attached to their proposals, according to informed individuals.
