The Supreme Court of India on Monday (May 26, 2025) ordered status quo on the liquidation proceedings against Bhushan Steel and Power Limited (BPSL) before the National Company Law Tribunal.

A Bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma said “liquidation of the BPSL might jeopardise the review petition, which was to be filed by JSW Steel Limited.”

“Without expressing any opinion at this stage, we are of the view that it would be in the interest of justice if status quo is maintained on the proceedings pending in NCLT,” the Bench said.

On May 2, the Supreme Court had set aside a resolution plan submitted by JSW Steel Limited for BSPL, holding it illegal and in violation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
