Enforcement Directorate Searches Multiple Premises Linked to McNally Bharat Engineering's Insolvency
The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at 16-17 premises across Kolkata, Delhi, and Bengaluru linked to McNally Bharat Engineering Company Limited (MBECL) and entities involved in its acquisition. The investigation, under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), focuses on suspected violations related to the source and movement of funds used to acquire control of MBECL, which recently underwent insolvency resolution through the National Company Law Tribunal. Authorities are also examining if the insolvency process was misused to allow potentially ineligible persons to regain control under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
