Rs 26-trn debt resolved via IBC
However, a bigger impact of the IBC has been in creating fear among defaulting borrowers, which helped settle nearly 30,000 cases involving Rs14 lakh crore of debt even before these cases could be formally admitted by the NCLT.
Since its launch in 2016, the IBC has replaced the earlier debtor-friendly system with a creditor-in-control approach.
This major shift has made IBC more successful compared to earlier debt recovery methods like the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Lok Adalats, and SARFAESI. Data shows that the average recovery under the IBC has been 30-35 per cent, which is much higher than 22 per cent under SARFAESI, 7 per cent under DRT, and just 3 per cent through Lok Adalats.

BluSmart Enters Insolvency Over Rs 1.28 Crore Default; Resolution May Take Six Months
Last Updated: The NCLT in Ahmedabad has admitted Catalyst Trusteeship's petition against BluSmart Mobility for defaulting on dues of Rs 1.28 crore, initiating CIRP. The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Ahmedabad has admitted a petition filed by Catalyst Trusteeship against BluSmart Mobility for defaulting on dues worth approximately Rs 1.28 crore. The order marks the initiation of the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) against the electric cab operator, with NPV Insolvency Professionals Private Ltd appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). BluSmart, once regarded as a rising player in India's electric vehicle (EV) ride-hailing space, has been under increasing financial strain in recent months. Despite raising venture capital and expanding its EV fleet, the company has struggled to manage cash flows and meet operating expenses, leading to the current insolvency proceedings. The CIRP, in the best-case scenario, is expected to take 180 days, provided there are no legal complications such as litigation from promoters. 'If things go smoothly, resolution could come within six months," said a person familiar with the process. The situation worsens with BluSmart's key backer, Gensol Engineering, and its subsidiary Gensol EV Lease, also facing insolvency action. The NCLT recently admitted separate petitions filed by the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (Ireda), citing defaults of Rs 510.10 crore by Gensol Engineering and Rs 218.95 crore by Gensol EV Lease. According to the shared court order copy, the tribunal said that Gensol had failed to maintain financial discipline, citing defaults on 31 March, 19 April, and 12 May 2025. IREDA in the filing said that it filed an application on May 14 under Section 7 of Insolvency and Bankruptcy code, 2016 against Gensol Engineering Limited for a defaulted amount of Rs 510,00,52,672. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
