The Adani Group has initiated payments under its Rs 14,535 crore resolution plan for debt-ridden Jaiprakash Associates, disbursing Rs 6,000 crore to lenders as the first tranche following judicial approval. Concurrently, Adani Ports Special Economic Zone acquired a 100% stake in Jaypee Fertilisers Industries Ltd for Rs 1,500 crore, aiming to expand its logistics footprint in Northern India. The resolution plan was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal and upheld by the appellate tribunal despite a rival bid from Vedanta.
