JSW Steel plan for Colour Roof India faces fresh test as NCLT reopens bidding - Litigation - 1 min read JSW Steel plan for Colour Roof India faces fresh test as NCLT reopens bidding The insolvency resolution process for Colour Roof (India) Ltd has been reopened by the NCLT, Mumbai Bench, after applications by erstwhile promoters were partially allowed. JSW Steel's subsidiary, JSWSCPL, previously declared the successful applicant, is assessing the order. The insolvency resolution process of Colour Roof (India) Ltd has been reopened after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench, partially allowed applications filed by a consortium led by the company’s erstwhile promoters. In a regulatory filing, JSW Steel said its wholly owned subsidiary, JSW Steel Coated Products Ltd (JSWSCPL), is currently assessing the April 13 order passed by the NCLT and will decide its next steps accordingly. JSWSCPL had earlier emerged as the successful resolution applicant for Colour Roof (India) Ltd after the committee of creditors (CoC) approved its resolution plan and issued a letter of intent in April 2025. The plan was submitted in July 2024 and subsequently amended in April 2025. However, the tribunal has now directed the inclusion of certain applicants—previously excluded from the final list of prospective resolution applicants—allowing them to submit their resolution plans. It has also permitted existing bidders to revise their financial offers upward and asked the CoC to reconsider all plans afresh before declaring the successful resolution applicant, JSW Steel said.

TCS cautions potential secondary risks if Middle East tensions prolong

TCS cautions potential secondary risks if Middle East tensions prolong - Corporate & Business - 2 min read TCS cautions potential secondary risks if Middle East tensions prolong Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) reported that ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have had a limited and localized impact on its operations, primarily affecting the Middle East region and the travel and transportation sector. The company assured that all employees and their families in the Middle East are safe and receiving support. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) said the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have had a limited and localised impact on its operations so far, with no broader spillover across other geographies or industry verticals, even as it continues to monitor the evolving situation closely. During its earnings conference call for the March quarter, TCS management said any direct impact from the geopolitical situation has largely been restricted to the Middle East region and, to some extent, the travel and transportation sector. K Krithivasan, Chief Executive and Managing Director, said the impact has been restricted to the Middle East and to some extent into our travel and transportation industry, and we have not seen a major impact in other industries so far. However, a prolonged conflict leading to supply-chain disruptions could create secondary effects over time. "If thingscontinue and if it results in further supply chain disruption or any other secondary issues, it may have an impact," he highlighted. From a people perspective, TCS said all its employees and their families stationed in the Middle East are safe.
