Vedanta challenges Adani bid for Jaiprakash Associates raising questions over evaluation metrics

The tribunal will decide if valuation numbers were fair

Vedanta Group has moved to challenge the insolvency outcome that selected Adani Enterprises’ bid for Jaiprakash Associates Ltd. Vedanta says its offer was higher, but the insolvency appellate tribunal will review whether lenders used correct evaluation metrics. Lenders argue several factors shaped the choice, while Jaiprakash’s value spans real estate, cement, and hospitality assets.
