Indiabulls Real Estate and Embassy Group entities, NAM Estates Pvt Ltd and Embassy One Commercial Property Developments Pvt Ltd, have sought approval from the National Company Law Tribunal's (NCLT) for their merger. The proposed merger has already received all other regulatory approvals.

"Subsequent to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals from the Competition Commission of India (CCI), National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), BSE Limited (BSE), and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), today the company has filed the requisite joint application with the jurisdictional bench of NCLT, for its approval to the scheme of merger," Indiabulls Real Estate said in a regulatory filing.

The planned commercial projects in the combined entity will have a rent potential of Rs 4,241 crore. The net surplus from residential launched and planned projects in the combined entity is expected at Rs 18,592 crore, it had then said.
