The National Company Law Tribunal has admitted Mercury Trade Links into the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. The Ahmedabad bench passed the order on September 1, 2026, citing an unpaid operational debt of ₹2.70 crore owed to Fettech Commercial Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.
Court Findings and Dispute Details
The NCLT rejected the company’s claim of pre-existing disputes regarding the quality of agricultural produce supplied between April 2024 and December 2024. The tribunal noted that the corporate debtor failed to provide documentary evidence for alleged credit notes or quality issues.
Fettech Commercial Enterprises supplied goods worth ₹4.41 crore, against which Mercury Trade Links paid ₹1.71 crore. The remaining balance of ₹2.70 crore remained unpaid despite a demand notice issued in November 2025. The court observed that the debt fell due on March 31, 2025, after a 90-day credit period.
Insolvency Process Initiated
The tribunal appointed Manish Kumar Bhagat as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). A moratorium under Section 14 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is now in effect, barring legal actions and asset transfers against the company until a resolution plan is approved or liquidation is ordered.
What the Numbers Show
The NCLT’s observation that the company holds "only cash as assets" from its submitted balance sheet highlights a severe liquidity constraint. This asset composition suggests limited operational capacity to generate revenue during the insolvency process, increasing reliance on external resolution bids to settle creditor claims.
