NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court’s decision to revoke the resolution plan of Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL) could burn a ₹22,000 crore hole in the consolidated turnover of JSW Steel.
BPSL, which was acquired by the Sajjan Jindal-promoted JSW Steel in 2021, earned revenue of ₹21,800 crore in FY24 and posted a total profit of ₹671 crore — 3.4 times the profit earned in the previous year. It reported its highest-ever annual steel sales of 2.96 million tonnes, up 17.5% year-on-year in 2023–24. In the first nine months of FY25, BPSL has generated ₹15,800 crore in revenue.
The setback for JSW Steel goes beyond the loss of 3.5 million tonnes per annum of production capacity and approximately ₹22,000 crore in turnover; it also…

But the money was just disappearing.
I’d managed to find another job once the first Covid lockdown eased, but then the second lockdown hit in November 2020.
I ran up multiple overdrafts, and applied for and maxed out credits cards to pay for groceries. Only thinking about feeding my kids, I didn’t think about the mounting interest rates. I really wish these credit products wouldn’t prey on desperate people. The information on their interest rates can be unclear and confusing.
There were always things to pay for. We needed a new washing machine and then a new dryer as both had packed in. Then there were all the normal bills – gas, electric, rent, council tax, and the rest.
I found another job as a team…

Corporate exit regime: Companies are born, they grow—and, sometimes, they must bow out. Founders rarely plan for failure, yet a clean, predictable exit is as vital to capitalism as easy incorporation. When insolvency drags on, investment freezes, workers are stranded and public confidence withers—witness the drawn-out collapses of WeWork in 2024 and crypto exchange FTX a year earlier. Conversely, fast, fair winding-up rules recycle capital and talent, letting fresh ventures sprout from the ashes. That is why a credible exit policy sits at the heart of any robust “ease of doing…

Rejecting the company’s request not to overturn the National Company Appellate Tribunal’s (NCLAT) order since it had complied with the resolution plan, Justices Trivedi and Sharma remarked: “A situation of fait accompli cannot be permitted to be created in the court to frustrate the proceedings, more particularly when the corporate insolvency resolution (CIR) proceedings had ex facie stood vitiated on account of non-compliance of the mandatory provisions of law and on account of the misuse of the process of law by the parties.”
Time is a crucial factor in the scheme under the IBC. However, in the present case, the mala fide and dishonest intention on the part of JSW undermined the IBC’s main objective of completing the entire…

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese campaigned on the promise to forgive $16 billion in student debt.
Now Labor has won the 2025 federal election and Australians want to know when those student debt cuts are going to come into effect.
From July 1, the newly re-elected Albanese Labor government will slash a further 20 per cent off all student loan debts.
It has also vowed to lift the minimum threshold for repayments by more than $10,000 a year, from about $54,000 to $67,000.
These reductions will see about $16 billion in debt wiped across HELP, VET Student Loan,…

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected steel major JSW Steel Ltd’s Rs 19,350 crore bid to acquire Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL) through the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) route, and ordered the liquidation of the company. While ordering the liquidation, the biggest in the corporate history, a bench of Justice Bela Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma lambasted the delay on the part of JSW Steel to implement the resolution plan and said the Committee of Creditors (CoC) failed to exercise its commercial wisdom while approving the Resolution Plan.
JSW Steel, controlled by Sajjan Jindal, and lenders are likely to go for appeal against the SC order as both the parties will suffer a setback if liquidation of BPSL is…
