The Supreme Court has delivered a decisive ruling in favor of Sarda Energy & Minerals , rejecting all appeals filed by unsuccessful resolution applicants against the company's resolution plan for SKS Power Generation (Chhattisgarh) Ltd.

Supreme Court Order Details

In an official communication to stock exchanges, Sarda Energy & Minerals confirmed that the Supreme Court has rejected all appeals challenging the company's resolution plan under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP). The ruling effectively validates the comprehensive restructuring proposal for the acquisition of SKS Power Generation (Chhattisgarh) Ltd.

Corporate Communication

Sarda Energy & Minerals, through Company Secretary Manish Sethi, formally notified BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. about the Supreme Court's decision. The company stated that the detailed order from the Supreme Court is awaited, indicating that while the ruling has been pronounced, the comprehensive judgment is yet to be received.

The communication was addressed to both major stock exchanges where the company is listed, with BSE security code 504614 and NSE symbol SARDAEN in the EQ series.
