The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) dismissed Vedanta's appeals challenging the Committee of Creditors' (CoC) approval of Adani Enterprises' ₹14,535 crore resolution plan for Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL). Vedanta had argued its higher ₹17,900 crore bid offered better value and questioned the evaluation process's transparency and fairness. However, NCLAT upheld the CoC's decision as an exercise of commercial wisdom, finding no legal irregularities or procedural lapses in selecting Adani's bid, thereby clearing the way for Adani's acquisition of JAL.
