NCLT Defers SpiceJet Liquidation Ruling After Last-Minute Lessor Settlement
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) deferred its ruling on SpiceJet's liquidation petitions after the airline disclosed a last-minute payment of 500,000 to one of eight aircraft lessors. The court criticized SpiceJet for delaying the settlement disclosure, calling it a waste of judicial time, and urged the airline to settle dues with other creditors promptly. SpiceJet has been facing financial stress and legal disputes with lessors over unpaid dues, while working to restore its grounded fleet and resolve outstanding liabilities. The tribunal will announce its decision on August 19.
