CIRP Timeline and Process

The CIRP of Morarjee Textiles was initiated on February 09, 2024, with Mr. Ravi Sethia appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). A public announcement was issued on February 12, 2024, and the CoC was constituted on March 03, 2024, with its first meeting held on March 13, 2024. Mr. Ravi Sethia was subsequently confirmed as the Resolution Professional in the third CoC meeting on May 15, 2024. The Expression of Interest (Form-G) was published on May 01, 2024, and a final list of 33 Prospective Resolution Applicants (PRAs) was issued on July 02, 2024. Three PRAs — Dev Land & Housing Pvt. Ltd., Nirmal Ujjwal Credit Co-operative Society Ltd., and Shriniwas Spintex Pvt. Ltd. — submitted Resolution Plans along with an Earnest Money Deposit of Rs. 5,00,00,000 each. Following disqualification of the other two applicants under Section 29A of the IBC, only SSIPL's plan remained compliant. The 180-day CIRP period expired on August 07, 2024, and was extended six times, with the final extended CIRP period ending on April 28, 2025. The Resolution Plan application was filed on April 19, 2025, within the subsisting CIRP period.

Resolution Plan Value and Creditor Distribution

The total Resolution Plan value of INR 156 crores covers payments to all stakeholder categories, in addition to a proposed working capital infusion. The SRA has proposed to infuse INR 25 crores as initial working capital (depending on the requirements of the company), out of which INR 9 crores will be infused upfront as fresh equity. The breakup of the INR 156 crore resolution amount is as follows:

The total admitted claims stood at INR 8,92,30,27,478 (approximately INR 892.30 crores). The realisable amount under the plan represents 17.48% of total admitted claims and 25.03% of the principal amount. Against the average fair value of INR 229,01,08,807 and average liquidation value of INR 1,40,48,25,261 (as per Regulation 35 of CIRP Regulations), the resolution amount represents 68.12% of fair value and 111.05% of liquidation value.

CoC Voting and Objection

The Resolution Plan was approved by 75.61% of the CoC voting share. The CoC comprised ten financial creditors, with Indian Bank (30.37%) and Axis Bank Limited (30.10%) assenting, while ACT Fininvest Limited (16.79%), Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited (3.57%), Renato Finance & Investment Pvt. Ltd. (0.93%), and Myra Mall Management Company Pvt. Ltd. (0.56%) dissented. IDBI Bank Ltd (2.55%) did not vote.

ACT Fininvest Limited, an unsecured financial creditor holding 16.79% voting rights, filed IA (IBC) No. 2316/2025 challenging the Resolution Plan, alleging that unsecured financial creditors — with admitted claims of approximately Rs. 128.46 crores — were allocated only Rs. 39 lakhs (approximately 0.07% of their admitted claims), while approximately Rs. 130 crores was allocated to secured creditors. The NCLT dismissed this objection, noting that the average liquidation value of the corporate debtor (Rs. 140.48 crores) was less than the admitted claims of secured financial creditors (Rs. 625.03 crores), making the liquidation value available to unsecured financial creditors NIL under Section 53 of the IBC. The Tribunal held that differentiation between sub-classes of financial creditors is permissible, provided each sub-class receives at least the liquidation value attributable to it.

Net Worth, Shareholding Restructuring, and Capital Changes

The pre-CIRP net worth of Morarjee Textiles as on March 31, 2024 stood at INR (47,975) lacs. The post-CIRP net worth as on the date of the NCLT order (May 11, 2026) is not available, as the financials have not been prepared by the corporate debtor due to the ongoing stress in the company.

The Resolution Plan entails a significant restructuring of the corporate debtor's share capital. The entire existing shareholding held by the erstwhile promoter and promoter group, aggregating 59.71%, shall stand cancelled and extinguished. The equity shareholding of existing public shareholders (other than the promoter group and related parties), aggregating to 21,694,663 equity shares constituting approximately 36.13% of the existing share capital, will be reduced in the ratio of 1:30 — meaning one equity share shall be retained for every thirty equity shares held. Post-implementation, the SRA along with its affiliates will hold 94.9% of the equity, while public shareholding will stand at 5.1%, maintained at or above the minimum level prescribed under Rule 19A(5) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957. No delisting of the equity shares is presently contemplated under the approved Resolution Plan.

Implementation Framework

The Resolution Plan implementation will commence from the receipt of the certified copy of the NCLT order. The IMC — comprising the Resolution Professional, one nominee of the SRA, and one nominee of the Secured Financial Creditors — was constituted on May 13, 2026, with its first meeting held the same day. Within T+60 days (Effective Date), payment of unpaid CIRP costs and upfront amounts to stakeholders will be made. Full payment to all stakeholders and complete implementation of the Resolution Plan is to be completed by T+360 days (Completion Date). The sources of funds for the INR 156 crore resolution amount include inter-corporate deposits, unsecured loans from friends and relatives, internal accruals, sale of immovable properties of directors and shareholders, and loans against properties from directors, shareholders, and other financial institutions. The moratorium under Section 14 of the IBC has ceased to have effect from the date of the NCLT order.
