Toh scene yeh hai ki Vedanta Group ne officially National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) mein petition file kar di hai Adani Enterprises ke Jaiprakash Associates Ltd. (JAL) ko ₹14,535 crore mein khareedne ki bid ke khilaaf. Yeh NCLT ka March 17, 2026 ka approval tha jise Vedanta challenge kar raha hai.
Vedanta ka funda hai ki unka apna offer JAL ke liye zyada faydemand (superior value) tha aur unko lagta hai ki jo bidding process hua, usme transparency bilkul nahi thi. Isse JAL ke sabhi bade assets jaise real estate, infrastructure, aur cement business pe uncertainty aa gayi hai.
Vedanta kehti hai ki unke bid ka Net Present Value (NPV) Adani ke plan se zyada tha. Adani ne ₹6,000 crore upfront dene ka plan banaya tha 2 saal mein, jisse creditors approve ho jayenge. Lekin Vedanta ka mannna hai ki yeh JAL ke assets ko kam value de raha hai. Asal mein, Vedanta ne pehle ₹17,000 crore ka offer diya tha. Committee of Creditors (CoC) ne Adani ki bid ko isliye pasand kiya kyuki payment jaldi ho jayegi, risky kam hai. Lekin Vedanta ka offer tha toh bada, bas time zyada lagta. Ab NCLAT mein Monday ko sunwai hogi.
Yeh jo JAL ke liye ladai chal rahi hai, woh India ke badhte infrastructure aur real estate sector mein bade players ke beech competition dikha rahi hai. Adani Enterprises, jinka market cap lagbhag ₹2.22 trillion hai, JAL ki zameen, cement capacity, aur hospitality business ko apne portfolio mein jodna chahti hai. Wahi, Vedanta, jo natural resources mein hai aur jinka market cap lagbhag ₹2.63 trillion hai, woh bhi in sectors mein apna stake badhana chahti hai. India ka real estate aur infra market bohot grow kar raha hai, isliye JAL ke assets bohot attractive hain.
Vedanta ke iss challenge se poori deal mein bada risk aur uncertainty aa gayi hai. Isse lambi litigation chal sakti hai aur deal mein delays ho sakte hain. Aisi lambi legal ladaiyan assets ki value kam kar sakti hain, khas kar real estate aur hospitality business ki jo market fluctuations se affected hote hain. Vedanta ke transparency aur process mein khami ke arguments NCLAT mein important honge. Adani ki bid ko JAL ke majority creditors ka support tha, kyunki company pe ₹57,000 crore se zyada ka debt hai, toh woh jaldi resolution chahte the. Lekin NCLAT bhi time limits follow karta hai, toh dekhna hoga yeh dispute kitna lamba chalta hai.
