In re Enertech Distribution Management Private Limited (NCLT Ahmedabad)
The NCLT Ahmedabad Bench allowed joint Company Application CA(CAA)/31(AHM)/2026 filed by Enertech Distribution Management Pvt. Ltd. (Transferor Company) and IRM Energy Ltd. (Transferee Company) under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Compromises, Arrangements and Amalgamations) Rules, 2016. The proposed Scheme provides for amalgamation of Enertech with IRM Energy and issue of shares by IRM Energy, with effect from the Appointed Date specified in the Scheme and upon the Effective Date.
Enertech, incorporated in 2016, held 21.12% of IRM Energy’s total equity share capital. As on 31.05.2026, Enertech had five equity shareholders, all of whom had provided consent affidavits approving the Scheme. It had no secured creditors and one unsecured creditor with an outstanding amount of Rs.11,800/-, whose consent was also furnished. The audited accounts showed that Enertech had no operations during FY 2025-26 and that almost its entire equity share capital of Rs.10.39 crore was invested in IRM Energy’s equity share capital.
IRM Energy’s equity shares are listed on NSE and BSE. As on 19.06.2026, it had 77,431 equity shareholders. As on 31.05.2026, it had three secured creditors with aggregate outstanding secured debt of Rs.159.95 crore; secured creditors representing 95.33% of the total outstanding secured debt had furnished consent affidavits approving the Scheme. It also had 247 unsecured creditors with outstanding unsecured debt of Rs.2,81,36,00,000.
The application placed on record a valuation report dated 12.11.2025 issued by GT Valuation Advisors Pvt. Ltd. and a fairness report dated 27.10.2025 issued by Saffron Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd. The valuation report stated that Enertech’s entire shareholding in IRM Energy would be cancelled and its shareholders would be issued the same number of fully paid-up IRM Energy equity shares. It further stated that there would be no change in IRM Energy’s paid-up share capital and that Enertech’s shareholding would be distributed proportionately among its shareholders.
BSE and NSE issued observation letters dated 25.05.2026. The applicant companies also submitted that the Scheme’s accounting treatment complied with accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act. No investigation, inquiry, inspection or enforcement proceedings under Sections 210 to 227 of the Companies Act, 2013 or any other law were stated to be pending against the applicant companies, their promoters or directors. The Scheme did not provide for capital reduction or corporate debt restructuring.
The stated rationale for the Scheme was to streamline and simplify the corporate shareholding structure and enable direct shareholding and participation of Enertech’s shareholders in IRM Energy. The applicants stated that the Scheme was not prejudicial to shareholders, employees or creditors and that IRM Energy’s share capital would remain unchanged, with the same number of shares currently held by Enertech being issued to its shareholders.
After considering the application, documents and submissions, the Tribunal found the application complete in all material particulars and compliant with Sections 230 to 232 and the Companies (CAA) Rules, 2016. It was prima facie satisfied that directions concerning the proposed meetings could appropriately be issued.
For Enertech, the Tribunal dispensed with the meeting of its five equity shareholders because all had provided consent affidavits. The meeting of its sole unsecured creditor was also dispensed with because that creditor had provided consent. No meetings of secured creditors or preference shareholders were required because there were no such creditors or shareholders.
For IRM Energy, the Tribunal directed that a meeting of its 77,431 equity shareholders be convened on 12.09.2026 at 10.30 A.M. through VC/OAVM to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Scheme with or without modifications. The Scheme would be considered approved upon the affirmative vote of a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the equity shareholders present and voting, as provided under Section 230(6).
The meeting of IRM Energy’s three secured creditors was dispensed with because the secured creditors had furnished consent affidavits. However, the Tribunal directed that a meeting of its 247 unsecured creditors be convened on 12.09.2026 at 12.30 P.M., at the registered office or through VC/OAVM, to consider the Scheme. Approval would require a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the unsecured creditors present and voting under Section 230(6).
The Tribunal appointed a Chairperson and Scrutinizer for the IRM Energy meetings and prescribed requirements concerning quorum, notices, advertisements, remote e-voting, e-voting during the VC/OAVM meetings, public shareholder voting, cut-off date, regulatory notices and filing of meeting reports. The cut-off date for equity shareholders entitled to vote was fixed as 05.09.2026. The Transferee Company was also directed to file an affidavit confirming compliance with BSE and NSE’s observations dated 25.05.2026 along with the Second Motion petition.
The Company Application CA(CAA)/31(AHM)2026 was accordingly allowed on the aforesaid terms.
