Adani Power consortium bid for Coastal Energen stayed
New Indian ExpressNEW DELHI: The Chennai bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal has stayed the NCLT order approving the resolution plan of the consortium of Dickey Alternative Investment Trust and Adani Power for acquisition of assets of Chennai-based power generation company Coastal Energen. The promoter of the power company has contended that Adani Power piggy-backed DAIT to get a back-door entry into the bidding process after Adani’s expression of interest was rejected by the resolution professional for delayed submission. Adani Power initially faced setbacks in the bidding process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code during Coastal Energen’s insolvency proceedings. After a late EoI was rejected, Adani Power formed a partnership with DAIT to re-enter the fray.
