Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process

Mr. Mukesh Verma was appointed as Resolution Professional (RP) with effect from April 15, 2024. Pursuant to Section 17 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, the powers of the Board of Directors stand suspended from the CIRP commencement date.

One resolution plan was assented to by the Committee of Creditors (COC) with the requisite majority but was not found acceptable by the NCLT and was remanded back to the COC with certain observations. The updated plan had not been received as on March 31, 2026. The auditors have issued a qualified opinion, noting that the company has provided interest at nil% per annum on borrowings aggregating to ₹2,47,379 lakhs, resulting in finance costs for the year ended March 31, 2026 being lower by ₹45,283 lakh. The aggregate amount of interest not provided for as at March 31, 2026 is ₹2,01,433 lakhs.

JBF Industries Limited has accepted the resignation of Ms. Bindu Darshan Shah (DIN: 07131459) as a director of the company, effective June 29, 2026. The Resolution Professional (RP) confirmed that the resignation was taken on record on this date following the filing of Form DIR-11 with the Registrar of Companies. Ms. Shah cited "Personal Reasons" for her departure from the board.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read together with SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/2023/120 dated July 13, 2023. While Form DIR-11 indicated an effective date of April 18, 2024, the RP noted that since the form was filed on June 29, 2026, the resignation is officially recognized from the date of filing.

Mr. Mukesh Verma, serving as the Resolution Professional for JBF Industries Limited, signed the disclosure on July 29, 2026. He holds Registration No: IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P01665/2019-2020/12522. The company’s registered office is located in Silvassa, Dadra & Nagar Haveli.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs approved the DIR-11 application (SRN AC4275590) on June 30, 2026. The approval confirms the procedural compliance of the resignation process. No further details regarding the impact on board composition or operational continuity were provided in the filing.

How will JBF Industries' board composition change following Ms. Shah's departure, and is the Resolution Professional planning to appoint a replacement director during the ongoing insolvency proceedings?

What is the current status of JBF Industries' insolvency resolution process under Mr. Mukesh Verma, and how might continued board-level attrition affect the timeline for a resolution plan?

Does the nearly two-year gap between the DIR-11's indicated effective date (April 2024) and its official filing date (June 2026) signal deeper governance or compliance challenges within JBF Industries under insolvency?
