April 14, 2026
JSW Steel Limited has disclosed that the NCLT Mumbai Bench partially allowed challenges to its subsidiary JSW Steel Coated Products Limited's selection as successful resolution applicant for Colour Roof (India) Limited. The tribunal directed fresh consideration of all resolution plans, including new applicants and revised proposals, effectively nullifying the previous selection process. JSWSCPL is currently assessing the order's implications and will determine next steps accordingly.
JSW Steel Limited has disclosed a significant development regarding its subsidiary's participation in the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) of Colour Roof (India) Limited. The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Mumbai Bench has issued an order dated April 13, 2026, that partially allows challenges to the resolution process outcome.
Background of the Resolution Process
JSW Steel Coated Products Limited (JSWSCPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JSW Steel, had previously emerged as the successful resolution applicant for Colour Roof (India) Limited. The subsidiary submitted its resolution plan on July 01, 2024, with amendments made on April 18, 2025. The Committee of Creditors (CoC) had approved JSWSCPL's resolution plan and issued a letter of intent on April 25, 2025, declaring the subsidiary as the successful resolution applicant.
NCLT Order Details
The tribunal's order addresses interlocutory applications filed by a consortium led by the erstwhile promoters of Colour Roof (India) Limited. The consortium challenged several aspects of the resolution process, including:
The CoC's decision to reject their request for relaxation of eligibility criteria
Their exclusion from the final list of prospective resolution applicants released on April 25, 2024
The overall conduct of the CIRP proceedings
Key Directions from NCLT
The NCLT has issued specific directions that will reshape the resolution process:
Direction Details Inclusion of New Applicants Certain applicants permitted in final list and allowed to submit resolution plans Plan Revisions All existing resolution applicants permitted to revise financial plans upward Fresh Consideration CoC directed to consider all resolution plans afresh New Selection Process CoC must declare successful resolution applicant after fresh evaluation
Impact on JSW Steel Subsidiary
The tribunal's order effectively nullifies the previous selection of JSWSCPL as the successful resolution applicant. The subsidiary now faces renewed competition from both new entrants and existing participants who can enhance their financial proposals. JSWSCPL is currently assessing the order's implications and will decide on appropriate next steps based on this evaluation.

JSW Steel has fulfilled its disclosure obligations under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company has informed both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited about this development. Additionally, the intimation has been made available on the company's website at www.jsw.in as required under Regulation 30(8) of the Listing Regulations.
