Ventive Hospitality must convene meetings of its equity shareholders and unsecured creditors following an order from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) regarding its proposed amalgamation with three wholly owned subsidiaries. The tribunal directed that these meetings be held within 60 days to approve the scheme, which consolidates hotel and infrastructure assets under the listed entity.
Procedural Directives and Timeline
The NCLT Mumbai Bench passed the order on September 23, 2026, in relation to the application filed under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013. The scheme involves the merger of Eon-Hinjewadi Infrastructure Private Limited, Restocraft Hospitality Private Limited, and Wellcraft Infraprojects Private Limited into Ventive Hospitality Limited. The appointed date for this consolidation is April 1, 2025.
The tribunal observed that while the transferor companies are wholly owned subsidiaries, the rights of the transferee company's shareholders and creditors require validation through formal meetings. Consequently, notices must be published in Business Standard and Loksatta at least 30 days prior to the meeting date. Mr. Madan Gosavi has been appointed as the Chairperson, and Smt. Bindu Shah as the Scrutinizer for these proceedings.
Financial Structure and Shareholding
The scheme entails no issuance of new shares by Ventive Hospitality as consideration, since it already holds 100% of the equity in the transferor entities. The paid-up share capital details of the applicant companies as of March 31, 2025, highlight the scale of the entities involved.
| Company | Role | Paid-up Capital (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Eon-Hinjewadi Infrastructure Pvt Ltd | First Transferor | ₹10,20,40,000 |
| Restocraft Hospitality Pvt Ltd | Second Transferor | ₹10,50,01,00,000 |
| Wellcraft Infraprojects Pvt Ltd | Third Transferor | ₹1,00,000 |
| Ventive Hospitality Ltd | Transferee | ₹23,35,41,608 |
Ventive Hospitality’s promoter group holds 20,78,11,070 equity shares, while public shareholders hold 2,57,30,538 shares. The total equity capital stands at ₹23,35,41,608.
Creditor Status and Liabilities
The order mandates notice to secured and unsecured creditors across all applicant companies. The financial disclosures reveal significant outstanding liabilities, particularly in the second transferor company.
| Entity | Secured Creditors | Unsecured Creditors | Unsecured Outstanding (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eon-Hinjewadi | Nil | 97 | ₹4,06,79,95,183 |
| Restocraft Hospitality | Nil | 2 | ₹16,71,40,56,250 |
| Wellcraft Infraprojects | Nil | 190 | ₹60,12,46,942 |
| Ventive Hospitality | 1 | 985 | ₹1,21,44,98,533 |
Ventive Hospitality has one secured creditor with an outstanding amount of ₹8,12,35,18,332 as of July 31, 2025. The tribunal directed that notice be served to this creditor, allowing 30 days for any representation.
What the Numbers Show
A comparison of net worth figures disclosed in the order indicates a substantial increase in the consolidated entity's balance sheet strength. The pre-amalgamation net worth of the transferor companies was ₹4,498.874 crore, whereas the post-amalgamation net worth of the transferee company is projected at ₹6,809.678 crore. This suggests that the consolidation significantly bolsters the listed entity's capital base without diluting existing shareholder value, given the absence of new share issuance.
