IBBI notifies amendments to streamline corporate insolvency process
New Delhi, Jun 2 (PTI) The IBBI has notified amendments to the regulations governing corporate insolvency, aiming to streamline procedures, protect creditor interests, and encourage greater investor participation in resolution processes.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) notified the Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons Fourth Amendment regulations, 2025 on May 26, according to a release.
Among the significant change introduced is a provision for allowing resolution professionals with the Committee of Creditor's (CoC) approval, to invite expressions of interest not only for the entire corporate debtor but also for individual assets or a combination of both.
By enabling concurrent invitations, the resolution process can reduce timelines, prevent value erosion in viable segments, and encourage broader investor participation, IBBI said.
The regulations also revise the framework for payments under resolution plans executed in stages. In such cases, financial creditors who did not support the resolution plan will now receive payments at least on a pro rata basis and ahead of those who voted in favour.
The Board said this approach balances the legitimate rights of dissenting creditors with the practical constraints of phased implementation.
In another notable amendment, the CoC has been empowered to direct resolution professionals to invite the interim finance providers to attend its meetings as observers without voting rights.
As per IBBI, this measure is aimed to provide interim finance providers with a better understanding of the corporate debtor's operational status, thereby enabling them to make well-informed decisions regarding funding requirements.
The amended norms also mandate the resolution professionals to present all received plans, including non-compliant ones to the CoC along with relevant details, it said.

Konkan Railway may run Ro-Ro train service to ferry cars if adequate demand: Official
Mumbai, Jun 4 (PTI) The Konkan Railway will explore the possibility of running a special roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) train service for transporting cars during the upcoming Ganapti festival, if there is sufficient public demand, a top official said. It will be possible to operate such a service if there are at least 40 cars to be transported at a time, Konkan Railway Corporation Limited's Chairman and Managing Director Santosh Kumar Jha told reporters at the KRCL headquarters at Belapur in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday. Asked why the KR does not transport passenger cars by its pioneering Ro-Ro services during the Ganpati festival, Jha said they will have to make changes for ferrying cars on wagons. The Konkan Railway's Ro-Ro service, which allows vehicles to be transported along with their drivers, has traditionally been used for trucks. "I promise you that this time in Ganpati I will announce a special train (Ro-Ro)," Jha said. The official said he did not know people would want to transport their expensive cars 750 km away. It takes 24 to 26 hours to reach Mangaluru (in Karnataka) by Ro-Ro from here and for that one has to buy a second class ticket from the driver. Highlighting that KR is not a loss-making corporation, Jha said it generated a net profit of ₹ 301 crore in 2023-24. As per unpublished reports, the corporation is expected to register a profit of ₹ 140-150 crore in the last financial year. "The Konkan Railway was always in profit, barring two years of COVID-19," Jha said, adding the KR is generating profits from the operations and execution of projects. The corporation got projects valued at ₹ 3,150 crore through tendering processes in the last 15 months and is already executing works of ₹ 4,087 crore, the official said. "About ₹ 7,200 crore of work orders are already in my hand and this year, we have targeted to get ₹ 15,000 crore of orders. I have full faith that we will achieve this target," Jha said. The KR has planned to spend ₹ 125 crore for various passengers amenities, including platform extension, construction of FOBs (foot overbridges) and providing retiring rooms, at railway stations in the next three years, he said. The Public Works Department of Maharashtra has spent ₹ 99 crore for the development of 11 stations on the KR network. Now, the MIDC is spending ₹ 39 crore on Ratnagiri station alone for providing facilities, he said. "You will see a full facelift of the Ratnagiri station before this year-end," the official said. Also, the KR has sent a proposal to the Railway Board for the restoration of eight halts which were discontinued during the COVID-19 time, he said. The official further said the entire Konkan Railway route is currently single line, except for a 47-km-long section, and they have proposed patch doubling works, estimated to cost ₹ 5,100 crores, but these works need ministerial help. At present, the Konkan Railway has about ₹ 2,750 crore loan to repay and the corporation has planned to clear ₹ 600 crore dues of it during this financial year, he said. Jha also said they have proposed alternatives for Pernem and Old Goa tunnel construction and the work has received an in-principle approval, but function allocation is awaited. The tunnels are not unstable, he added.

Need greater tax certainty to exploit India's aviation growth potential: IATA DG
Against the backdrop of some foreign airlines receiving tax notices in India in recent times, Walsh said 'India has a very complex tax system and it has been a feature of our industry for many years. So, it is not a new issue'. India is among the civil aviation markets that has incredible growth opportunities and its growth rate is expected to surpass that of China, IATA Director General Willie Walsh said. New Delhi, Jun 3 (PTI) Global airlines' grouping IATA on Tuesday said India has a complex taxation system and 'greater certainty' on taxes will be important to exploit the potential of the country's fast growing civil aviation market. For the country to fully exploit the potential and to translate the vision into a reality, Walsh said the issue of taxation does have to be addressed. 'That's not to say that you have to eliminate the taxation, but I think you do need to have a clearer understanding as to how the taxation rules apply,' Walsh said at a briefing in the national capital in response to a PTI query. Elaborating on the issue, he said that airlines sometimes get a new interpretation of an existing rule that's completely different to the way it was interpreted previously. Such a situation then leads to a claim for taxes that haven't been paid and it leads to years of litigation and discussions which eventually get resolved. In many cases it gets resolved in favour of the airline, Walsh noted. Going forward, he said, 'if India is to genuinely exploit the massive opportunity that exists here, greater certainty around the taxation would be important'. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) represents over 350 airlines, including Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet, that account for more than 80 per cent of the global air traffic. The grouping has also been vocal about airport charges being higher in various parts of the world. Explaining IATA's view on the issue, Walsh said airlines want efficient airport operations at a cost-effective price. 'We want to see airports make sensible long-term investments that can be afforded by the industry'. While mentioning that there will always be issues about airport charges, Walsh said that between the airline industry and the airport industry, there is probably 'common ground on 80 per cent of issues and then 20 per cent, the way I describe it, is violent disagreement, which typically relates to financing and financial issues'. According to him, there needs to be more dialogue between airlines and airports. 'I think many airports around the world, I'm not just picking on India here, don't fully understand the needs of the airlines and all we get is development that is not appropriate for the airlines that operate at the airport or more expensive than the airline believes it needs to be,' the IATA DG said. IATA held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the national capital from June 1-3 and the meeting happened for the first time in India in 42 years.
