The present application is filed by Mr. Nirav Anupam Tarkas - Resolution Professional (“RP”) of M/s. Steelco Gujarat Limited - the Corporate Debtor under Section 30(6) read with Section 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“IBC, 2016”) for approval of the resolution plan.

2.

It is submitted by the applicant that the Committee of Creditors (CoC) of M/s. Steelco Gujarat Limited have duly approved the resolution plan submitted by one, M/s. Next Orbit Growth Fund III (SRA) on 30.07.2022. The said resolution plan submitted by M/s. Next Orbit Growth Fund III is approved by 100% voting share of the CoC. M/s. Next Orbit Growth Fund III is a private equity growth expansion fund managed by Next Orbit Ventures. Further, M/s. Next Orbit Growth Fund III is an alternative investment fund of category III registered with the SEBI.

3.

The facts, in brief, of the present application are summarised as under:-

i.

The Corporate Debtor was admitted in Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (“CIRP”) on 31.12.2020 in an application filed by the State Bank of India, being a Financial Creditor under Section 7 of the IBC, 2016. Mr. Nirav Anupam Tarkas was appointed as Interim Resolution Professional (“IRP”). Thereafter, IRP made the paper publication in Form – A and collated claims and constituted the Committee of Creditors (“CoC”). However, during the pendency of CIRP, one of the members of the initially constituted CoC, assigned its debt to M/s. Omkara Assets Reconstruction Private Limited. As on date, the CoC consists of the following members:

(i)

Omkara Assets Reconstruction Private Limited, having a voting share of 66.28%

(ii)

Canara Bank, having a voting share of 15.63%

(iii)

Bank of India, having a voting share of 12.33%

(iv)

Federal Bank, having a voting share of 5.76%

ii.

On 10.02.2021, the first CoC meeting was held wherein the appointment of the Applicant/IRP was confirmed as Resolution Professional (RP).

iii.

The details of the CIRP as per the revised Compliance Certificate in Form – H dated 24.01.2023 filed by the RP as under:-

Exhibit reproduced from the original judgment
Exhibit reproduced from the original judgment
iv.

Pursuant to the first invitation for EoI on 17.04.2021, the following 5 (five) Resolution Applicants submitted their EOIs:

1.

Aneco Group, Mumbai (Abhay Ispat Pvt. Ltd.)

2.

Haq Steel (Hag Group Ahmedabad)

3.

GSEC Ltd. (Adani Group Company, Ahmedabad)

4.

RKG/ ICICI Prudential ARC Mumbai

5.

Neel Metals Limited (JBM Group New Delhi)

v.

Thereafter, resolution plans were evaluated from time to time. In the 10th CoC meeting held on 14.02.2022, it was decided that all the plans be put for voting. The voting on the resolution plan was to conclude on 23.02.2022.

vi.

However, in the meantime, one of the Resolution Applicants filed an application before this Authority for considering their offer of an increase in the resolution plan amount. The said Resolution Applicant proposed to revise its resolution plan by Rs. 25,00,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty-Five Crores Only). Therefore, with a view of maximising the value of assets of the Corporate Debtor, the CoC unanimously decided that all the resolution applicants shall be provided with a fair and equal opportunity to revise their offer. Accordingly, a fresh date for inviting revised resolution plans from existing Resolution Applicants was to be provided and the existing voting on resolution plan was to be terminated.

vii.

In view of the same, in the 11th CoC meeting held on 21.02.2022, the CoC unanimously resolved to grant the last opportunity to all resolution applicants to submit their revised resolution plans on or before 11.03.2022.

viii.

In the meantime, out of 5 (five) prospective Resolution Applicants, 2 (two) prospective Resolution Applicants had filed an application inter alia challenging the resolution of the CoC granting opportunity to all the prospective Resolution Applicants to submit their revised resolution plans on or before 11.03.2022.

ix.

In view of filing of the said applications, the said prospective Resolution Applicants had not submitted their revised Resolution Plans in accordance with the resolution so passed by the CoC. However, both the aforementioned applications came to be finally disposed of by way of an order dated 18.08.2022 passed by this Authority.

x.

Nevertheless, on account of non-submission of the revised Resolution Plans by some of the prospective Resolution Applicants vis-à-vis on account of pendency of the aforementioned applications at the given point of time, the CoC was not in a fair position to decide and vote on the resolution plans submitted by the prospective Resolution Applicants.

xi.

In the meantime, one of the erstwhile members of the CoC i.e., State Bank of India, assigned its debt to M/S. Omkara Assets Reconstruction Private Limited. Pursuant to such assignment, M/s. Omkara Assets Reconstruction Private Limited has acquired 66.28% stake in the CoC. Thereafter, considering the interest evinced by the Prospective Resolution Applicants (existing and new ones) and with a view to ensuring the highest degree of transparency by providing a fresh and level playing field for all bidders geared towards value maximization for all stakeholders, the CoC in its meeting held on 17.05.2022 had considered the order dated 06.05.2022 passed by this Authority directing the CoC to take a call on the pending resolution applications within two weeks.

xii.

That after considering the order passed by this Authority, the CoC was of the opinion that:

(a)

on account of non-submission of revised Resolution Plans by some of the prospective Resolution Applicants vis-à-vis on account of pendency of the applications filed by them, the CoC is not in a position to decide and vote on the resolution plans submitted by the prospective Resolution Applicants;

(b)

calling for fresh resolution plans would take care of pending applications filed by the prospective Resolution Applicants;

(c)

since the CIRP is at the stage of closure, it would not be suitable to send the Corporate Debtor to liquidation, which in any case should be the last resort. The CoC in its commercial wisdom is of the view that the present case of the Corporate Debtor is not fit for liquidation at this stage and can be resolved if necessary and expeditious actions are taken to eliminate the roadblocks (i.e., the pending applications and disputes by the prospective Resolution Applicants);

(d)

in any case, two weeks is too short a time for CoC to approve/ reject the resolution plan more particularly when Omkara Assets Reconstruction Private Limited (which is holding 66.28% voting share) has recently joined CoC;

(e)

furthermore, there are bright chances of revival of the Corporate Debtor in as much as few other resolution applicants might show their interest and there would be further maximization of the value of assets of the Corporate Debtor.

xiii.

In view of the above, on 26.06.2022, the Applicant/RP published a fresh Form - G inviting fresh bids and Eol's under Regulation 36A(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 with the last date of submission of the Resolution Plan on 13.07.2022.

xiv.

In response to the said Form - G, it is submitted that only one prospective Resolution Applicant i.e., M/s. Next Orbit Growth Fund III, had managed to adhere to the timelines enshrined under Form - G dated 26.06.2022. Therefore, in the given scenario, there was a Resolution Plan of a sole Resolution Applicant left for consideration by the CoC.

xv.

In the meantime, one of the prospective Resolution Applicants i.e., M/s. Haq Steels & Metaliks Limited, whose plan was rejected on the ground that the Eol was submitted belatedly by 6 (six) days, though whose resolution plan was submitted within the timeline prescribed under Form - G dated 26.06.2022 had filed an application before this Authority inter alia seeking directions against the Applicant herein and the CoC to accept M/s. Haq Steels & Metaliks Limited in the final list of Resolution Applicants in the process initiated vide issuance of fresh Form - G dated 26.06.2022.

xvi.

Vide an order dated 25.07.2022 passed by this Authority in IA 622 of 2022 the CoC was directed to consider the resolution plans received from M/s. Haq Steels & Metaliks Limited and M/s. Purva Metal Sections Private Limited, since both the prospective Resolution Applicants had filed their resolution plans within time, though Eol was filed late. However, it was duly observed that the highest bidder, subject to financial and legal viability and subject to voting which is to be considered by the CoC be declared as the Successful Resolution Applicant and the process be completed as early as possible.

xvii.

Thereafter, in view of the foregoing directions of this Authority, it is submitted that the Applicant herein had received 3 (three) Resolution Plans by 13.07.2022 ensuring the revival of the Corporate Debtor. That the following Resolution Plans were received and put forth before the CoC members:

Sr. No.Name of the Resolution Applicant
1.Next Orbit Growth Fund III

3.Purva Metal Sections Private Limited
xviii.

It is submitted that the Applicant herein immediately evaluated the three Resolution Plans, ensuring the compliance of the Resolution Plans with the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and informed the same to the members of the CoC. Immediately thereafter, on 29.07.2022, in the 20th meeting of the CoC, the bids of M/s. Haq Steels & Metaliks Limited and M/s. Purva Metal Sections Private Limited were opened for discussion and consideration of the CoC. However, after considering the said Resolution Plans, all the members of the CoC deliberated and decided to provide an opportunity to the highest bidder to revise its Resolution Plan and the voting on the Resolution Plans was agreed to be done after such revision.

xix.

Subsequently, on 30.07.2022, in accordance with the aforementioned decision of the CoC, the highest bidder submitted its Resolution Plan to the Applicant herein after revising/increasing its offer and the same was duly communicated by the Applicant herein to the members of the CoC.

xx.

Thereafter, in the 21st meeting of the CoC held on 08.08.2022, the result of the Evaluation Matrix, the percentage distributed by each Resolution Applicant to various stakeholders and the legal compliance chart were put forward before the CoC by the Applicant herein and the CoC deliberated on the feasibility and viability of all the Resolution Plan(s). Accordingly, the CoC advised the Applicant herein to put all the plans for voting.

xxi.

Accordingly, the Resolution Plans were put through voting on 08.08.2022. In the said voting, the Resolution Plan submitted by M/s. Next Orbit Growth Fund Ill is approved by the 100% majority of the members of the CoC.

xxii.

Pursuant to the deliberations that took place in the 22nd meeting of the CoC held on 19.08.2022, the Successful Resolution Applicant was issued a "Letter of Intent" on 19.08.2022 with a request to submit the Performance Bank Guarantee in terms of Regulation 36B (4A) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016. The copies of the accepted Letter of Intent and the Performance Guarantee as received from the Successful Resolution Applicant were annexed with the application herein.

xxiii.

The Applicant further submitted that the approved Resolution Plan meets with the requirements of Regulation 38 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016 as well as Section 30 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. It is further submitted that the Resolution Plan provides for payment of Financial Creditors and payment to Operational Creditors. A copy of the approved Resolution Plan submitted by Ms. Next Orbit Growth Fund III was annexed with the application.

3. Business Plan and Financial Projections

Set out below is the business plan for the Company that the Resolution Applicant intends to pursue upon acquisition of control over the Company pursuant to this Resolution Plan. This business plan (and financial projections of the Company as set out herein and/or delivered in connection with this Resolution Plan) is based on: (i) the information made available to the Resolution Applicant by the Resolution Professional in relation to the Company; and (ii) the assumption that the fixed assets of the Company as demonstrated during the site visits and details provided by Resolution Professional to the Resolution Applicant in relation thereto, have not been alienated, disposed or transferred in any manner and nor has any security interest or encumbrance been created over such assets after the commencement of CIRP in respect of the Company. This business plan is indicative and subject to change and refinement depending on further information becoming available to the Resolution Applicant, changes in global investment scenarios and market conditions, among other relevant factors:

Estimated reasons for the present position of the Company and proposed turnaround plan

While it is only upon taking over control of the Company a complete picture can be understood as to what lead to stress on the Company, to the best belief of the Resolution Applicant basis the information provided to it and market review that it has undertaken, it has been observed that the following factors led to stress of the Company and the dismal production levels:

- (a) The manufacturing unit of the Company has performed below its capacity due to inadequate working capital, cash crunch due to inappropriate planning of operations and influx of cheap imports hurting the business of the Company, resulting in a default in the interest payments and getting stuck into ever growing debt burden. - (b) Deflation of commodity prices globally bringing down the steel prices leading to severe pressure on the operating margins of the steel plant in 2015. - (c) Exports which were constituting around 50% of the sales, were down from 2015 onwards due to slow-down in Middle East. The problem was further exacerbated by US imposing Anti-dumping duty on Galvanized steel imports from India.

Proposal for execution of the Sale Arrangements

The Resolution Applicant will be implementing the Resolution Plan through the Implementing SPV or on its own. In any case, the Resolution Applicant may, as it deem fit after gaining operational control of the Company, engage any operation and maintenance contractor to ensure quick turnaround in the operations at the manufacturing units of the Company. Any sale arrangements or strategy in that regard as may be required in particular circumstances, as it may pan out at that stage of implementing or reviving the operations of the Company, will be decided at such relevant time by the Reconstituted Board or the new Board of Directors with help of other key managerial personnel. However, the company will like to keep sales largely domestic and reduce dependency on export markets. Also, the Resolution Applicant reserves the right to revisit the current contracts and sale arrangements of the Company and negotiate with such counter parties favourable arrangements. Provided that this does not impede on the Resolution Applicant's right to terminate any such arrangement with any liability or consequences.

We expect to be in a position to restart the operations of the Company within a period of 90 (Ninety) days from the Effective Date. Infusion of Working Capital shall be done within 180 (one hundred eighty) days from the Effective Date.

Keeping in mind the above long terms customer bases, the Resolution Applicant will first understand the reasons that led to steep decrease in revenue generations in year 2018-19 and find out the root cause for the same.

While doing so the Resolution Applicant believes that with the expert managerial personnel on board having large experience, the Company will also increase its supply to new customers, the idea is to increase the margins and reduce the credit cycle.
