February 3 @ 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
In-person event
This seminar will discuss developments in India’s Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 over the past year, including creditor recoveries of over $40 billion and major real estate resolutions that have safeguarded homebuyer interests and facilitated the completion of stalled projects, supported by innovative frameworks like the ‘Reverse CIRP’. The seminar will also discuss continuing controversies under the IBC including the absence of a framework for non-corporate debtors, the use of ADR within the IBC and cross border insolvencies and the IBC.
The IBC’s achievements in 2024 underscore its critical role in India’s economy. However, the next chapter will require bold reforms to tackle unresolved issues, including cross-border insolvency, non-corporate debtor inclusion, and sector-specific resolutions, ensuring a more inclusive and robust insolvency regime.
This seminar explores the challenges that lie ahead for India and what to expect in the coming year.
