Company Value Bachana Abhi Bhi Mushkil Hai?
Dekho, ek taraf toh apna financial services sector mast performance de raha hai. Gross non-performing assets (NPAs) September 2025 tak gir kar sirf 2.15% ho gaye hain, aur Nifty Financial Services Index ne toh H1 2025 mein 15.5% ka jump dikhaya hai. Lekin, dusri taraf, ye Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) abhi bhi companies ka actual value preserve karne mein struggle kar raha hai. Basically, ye code debt recover karne par zyada focus karta hai na ki companies ko sach mein revive karne par, especially un companies ko jinme zyada physical assets nahi hote. Is wajah se, creditors ko abhi bhi substantial losses ho rahe hain, average haircuts lagbhag 68% tak ja rahe hain, matlab value resolution process mein kho hi jaata hai.
Asset-Light Companies Ke Liye Aur Bhi Tough?
Ye IBC code un businesses ke liye zyada accha kaam karta hai jinke paas clear physical assets hote hain jinhe becha ja sake. Par, service ya technology firms jaisi companies jinke paas tangible assets kam hote hain, unke liye situation thodi difficult ho jati hai. Inka asli value toh intellectual property ya brand reputation mein hota hai, jo lambe bankruptcy process mein jaldi kam ho sakta hai. Isliye, ye companies aksar liquidate ho jati hain, creditors ko zyada kuch milta nahi hai. Matlab, chahe financial sector ki overall balance sheet acchi dikh rahi ho, system har tarah ki company ke liye value maximize nahi kar pa raha hai. Upar se delays bhi ek badi problem hain; March 2025 tak NCLT mein lagbhag 15,000 corporate insolvency cases pending hain, jo assets ka value aur kam kar dete hain.
Naye Reforms Par Bhi Shak?
IBC ke 2025 ke amendments mein Creditor-Initiated Insolvency Resolution Process (CIIRP) jaisi cheezein hain, jinka goal hai resolution ko speed up karna, taaki creditors court ke bahar bhi proceedings start kar saken. Lekin, ye naya approach sabko convince nahi kar pa raha. Critics ko lagta hai ki business owners, control kho dene ke dar se, revival plans mein poora cooperate nahi karenge. Aur ye reforms sirf chote-mote changes lag rahe hain, fundamental issues jaise industry differences, NCLT ki resource limits, ya intangible assets ki valuation ki mushkil ko solve nahi kar rahe. Small aur medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) ke liye toh IBC abhi bhi costly hai aur aksar liquidation mein hi end hota hai.
Liquidation Ko Zyada Importance?
Sach baat toh ye hai ki IBC lagta hai liquidation ko value preservation se zyada importance de raha hai, especially un companies ke liye jinka business model traditional nahi hai. Overall recovery rates 31-36% hone ke baad bhi, value maximize karne ka target pura nahi ho raha. CIIRP shayad ek aur step add kar de agar business owners aur creditors ke conflicting interests ko handle nahi kiya gaya toh. Banks aur financial institutions, chahe unke NPAs kam hon aur market performance acchi ho (like Nifty Financial Services P/E of 14.8x), unhe struggling asset-light firms ya MSMEs se slow, low returns mil sakte hain. NCLT mein itne saare pending cases (December 2025 tak lagbhag 76% cases 270 din se zyada chal rahe hain) dikhate hain ki resolution mein kitna time lagta hai, jisse value destruction hota hai aur future financial risks bhi chhup sakte hain.
Future Kya Hai? Implementation Par Sab Depend Karta Hai
Ye 2025 IBC amendments, khaas kar CIIRP, kitne successful honge ye toh dekhenge ki unhe implement kaise kiya jata hai aur kya woh sach mein cooperation badhate hain aur sab struggling businesses ke liye resolution speed up karte hain. Financial sector abhi strong hai kyunki NPAs kam hain aur economic conditions acchi hain, lekin long-term health toh is baat par depend karti hai ki IBC sirf debt recover karne se hatkar businesses ko genuine tareeke se recover karne mein help kare, especially India ki badhti hui asset-light companies ki economy mein.
