The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has approved the second motion petition for the scheme of amalgamation between ADI BPO Services Limited and MPS Limited . The Chennai bench passed the order on September 16, 2026, recording the approval by equity shareholders and unsecured creditors.
Regulatory Progress
The NCLT Division Bench (Court-I) in Chennai issued the order in CP(CAA)/76(CHE)/2026. The tribunal took on record the chairman’s reports from meetings held on August 22, 2026, confirming that both equity shareholders and unsecured creditors of the transferee company approved the scheme.
The first motion application order was passed on July 2, 2026. Under that earlier order, the meeting of secured creditors was dispensed with. The current order directs the service of notices to statutory and regulatory authorities to invite representations within 30 days.
Next Steps
The tribunal has directed the petitioner to serve notices via specific email addresses to:
- Ministry of Corporate Affairs (Regional Director South)
- Registrar of Companies, Chennai
- Income Tax Authorities, Chennai
- Official Liquidator, Chennai
- Other statutory regulators
Notices must also be published in Business Standard (English) and Dina Malar (Tamil). An affidavit evidencing proof of service must be filed within seven days. The matter is listed for further hearing on November 4, 2026.
What the Numbers Show
The amalgamation process has moved efficiently through its procedural milestones. The timeline from the first motion on July 2, 2026, to the second motion approval on September 16, 2026, spans approximately two and a half months. The dispensing of the secured creditor meeting suggests a streamlined approval path, with focus placed on equity and unsecured creditor consent.
