Venugopal Dhoot moves NCLAT against Anil Agarwal’s Twin Star takeover bid for Videocon

NEW DELHI: Venugopal Dhoot, former promoter of Videocon Group, has moved before the NCLAT, challenging an order of the insolvency court NCLT approving Rs 2,962 crore takeover bid by Anil Agarwal’s Twin Star Technologies for 13 companies of the debt-ridden group.

Dhoot, in his petition filed before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has requested to set aside the order passed by the Mumbai bench of the NCLT and to direct the lenders to consider Rs 31,789 crore settlement plan submitted by him under section 12 of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

“All assets owned by Videocon Group, particularly oil and gas assets owned by Videocon Industries are not included in Information Memorandum and no valuation thereof has been considered,” he said, adding RP and lenders “were wrong to ignore order of NCLT to treat and include foreign oil and gas assets of Videocon as assets of Videocon Industries Ltd”.
