India Amends Insolvency Code to Expedite Resolutions and Improve Predictability

Recent amendments to India's Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code introduce a creditor-initiated insolvency resolution process (CIIRP) aimed at faster restructuring of distressed companies with reduced court involvement. Draft regulations detail creditor approval, company response timelines, and procedural safeguards. While these changes may improve predictability and reduce resolution timelines, analysts note they are unlikely to significantly increase recovery rates for lenders and asset reconstruction companies, focusing instead on better cash flow timing and reduced case backlogs.
