THE DETAILS OF APPLICATION MADE OR ANY PROCEEDING PENDING UNDER THE INSOLVENCY AND BANKRUPTCY CODE, 2016 (31 OF 2016) DURING THE YEAR ALONGWITH THEIR STATUS AS ON 8th AUGUST 2026

STCI Finance Ltd. has filed three separate Civil Appeals before the Honble Supreme Court of India challenging the Order dated 27.04.2026 passed by the Honble NCLAT in the matter of STCI Finance Ltd. vs. IMP Powers Ltd.

The Honble Supreme Court, vide Order dated 21.05.2026 in Civil Appeal No. 7449 of 2026 and connected matters, has observed that no grounds are made out to interfere with the validity of the sale of the Corporate Debtor as a going concern and directed that the sale process be carried to its logical conclusion. Accordingly, the Sale Certificate issued in favour of the Successful Auction Purchaser (SAP)/new management has attained finality and the sale has become absolute.

The Honble Supreme Court has not granted any stay against the NCLAT Order. The matter is presently listed on 09.09.2026 for further consideration.

The limited issue presently pending before the Honble Supreme Court relates to the inter se rights of the secured creditors, particularly whether STCI Finance Ltd. is entitled to a first charge or a pari passu charge along with the other lending institutions in respect of the distribution mechanism.

The SAP has already deposited the entire bid amount in accordance with the e-auction terms. Pursuant to the directions of the Honble NCLT, the Liquidator thereafter concluded the sale process and issued the Sale Certificate and Possession Letter in favour of the SAP. The SAP and the Liquidator have also duly disclosed the material developments concerning the revival of the Corporate Debtor before the Honble NCLAT.

As on date, there is no adverse financial implication upon IMP Powers Ltd. arising from the aforesaid proceedings, except legal and professional expenses incurred towards representation before the Honble Supreme Court/NCLAT.

The Management is taking all necessary steps to ensure due implementation of and compliance with the orders passed by the Honble Supreme Court and the Honble NCLAT.
