Second, the suspension on initiation of corporate insolvency proceedings in respect of COVID-19 defaults expired on 24th March 2021. Third, the COVID-19 has become 'new normal' for business. Thus, normalcy is restored as regards resolution of stress under the Code" Mr. M.S. Sahoo Chairman, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India           Sector Insights The corporate insolvency resolution process was suspended in March 2020 to protect firms from being dragged into the insolvency process for potential defaults due to COVID-19 related shutdowns. After a year of relevant provisions being suspended, fresh proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) can now be initiated. Certain provisions under the Code, which provide for time-bound and market-linked resolution of stressed assets, are now available again starting March 24, 2021. Further, as organisations now adapt to the ‘new normal’, it has become important to ensure lucrative deals within the stressed assets sector. Due to continuous reforms and proactive initiatives taken by the government, India is now amongst the best performing countries in South Asia in handling insolvency cases and achieving high recovery rates- thus making it an attractive market for global investors.         In the News   RBI opposes fresh insolvency freeze   Government amends insolvency laws, introduces pre-packaged resolution process for MSMEs   Big opportunity for investing in India’s private credit market   Supreme Court has ruled that grantors for loans are liable under IBC proceedings   Economic Survey 2021: Recoveries under IBC highest among all debt recovery methods     Stressed Assets Overview   Unique Cases Filed 4376   Cases filed by Sector - Percentage     Cases filed by Sector - Numbers     Status Of Cases Under CIRP     Success Story   Target Company : Nagarjuna Oil Corporation Investor: Haldia Petrochemicals Investment Amount **: ~ USD 6.5 billion ( * Investment scheme approved by NCLT ** Proposed investment amount)       Deals in the Making   NCLT admits insolvency plea against Wizcraft   Lenders, homebuyers ask Suraksha Group to improve bid for Jaypee Infratech   Srei Equipment Finance (SEFL) gets Expression of Interest from Cerberus Global Investments   NCLT admits insolvency petition against textile company Sintex Industries   NCLT initiates insolvency proceedings against Ahluwalia Contracts       New Opportunities   MCNALLY SAYAJI ENGINEERING LIMITED MERCATOR LIMITED TIERRA FOOD INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED SURYA EXIM LIMITED TALWALKARS BETTER VALUE FITNESS LIMITED MUSADDILAL JEWELLERS PRIVATE LIMITED SHAMBHU TEXTILES MILLS PRIVATE LIMITED GREATWELD ENGINEERING PRIVATE LIMITED       FUND IN FOCUS       JC Flowers India Opportunities Fund J.C.
