NCLT directs liquidation of Tulip Hotels as it fails to get bidder

NCLT has directed for the liquidation of debt-ridden Tulip Hotels, as the tribunal failed to receive any bidder during its insolvency resolution process within the prescribed timeline. On May 16, 2023, the NCLT had directed the initiation of a Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Tulip Hotels over a plea filed by Yes Bank, claiming a default of Rs 900 crore for two corporate guarantees issued by it. Tulip Hotels was a corporate guarantor for two loans disbursed by Yes Bank to Cox & Kings and EzeeGo One Travel and Tours Ltd.

Hence, he was left with no other ...

Tupperware lifts lid on its financial problems with bankruptcy filing

The company behind Tupperware, the plastic kitchenware that revolutionized food storage after World War II and became inextricably linked to the parties where women seeking a measure of financial independence and fun in midcentury America sold the colorful products, has filed for bankruptcy. Tupperware Brands, the Orlando, Florida-based consumer goods company that produces the iconic line of containers, said it was seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after struggling to revitalize its core business and failing to secure a tenable takeover offer. Despite enjoying the same cultural ubiquity as Kleenex, Teflon and other brands whose trademarked names are eponymous with entire product categories, Tupperware has suffered from waning sales, rising competition and the limitations of the direct-to-consumer marketing model that once defined its success. The company said Tuesday in its bankruptcy filing that consumers shifting away from direct sales, which make up the vast majority of it

Creditors' haircuts in bankruptcy cases jump to 73% in FY24: Report

The haircuts taken by creditors in bankruptcy resolutions have increased to 73 per cent in FY24 from the 64 per cent in FY23, a report said on Friday. A total of 269 resolution plans were approved by the National Company Law Tribunals (NCLTs) in FY24, up from 189 in the year-ago period, the report by domestic rating agency Icra said. The new admissions declined to 987 in FY24 from the 1,263 in FY23, the agency said, attributing the same to a higher base in the previous fiscal because of the Covid-19 pandemic-related stress. It can be noted that the haircuts, or sacrifices, in comparison to the total dues, which are done by lenders when it comes to corporate insolvency resolutions has led to some concerns in the past about the value at which a new bidder is getting the assets. Its group head for structured finance ratings, Abhishek Dafria said there has been a "worsening" of the haircuts which are taken by the creditors through the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) process to a .
