The consortium has submitted an undertaking before the appellate tribunal, in which it had committed to pay Rs 100 crore by August 31, 2023 and another Rs 100 crore by September 30, 2023. For the rest Rs 150 crore, the consortium had requested the appellate tribunal to encash the PBG submitted for that purpose.

The NCLAT order is yet to be uploaded on NCLAT website. Earlier, the consortium was to pay Rs 350 crore to the lenders by August 31 but had sought an extension for making the payment.
