ZEE-Sony merger inches forward as NCLAT disposes of IndusInd’s appeal

The insolvency proceedings filed by IndusInd bank would have had great ramifications on the merger if not disposed of by NCLAT. The merger would have been stalled indefinitely as the creditors would have gained control and started scouting for a buyer.

However, obstacles remain, as the matters before the SEBI and the SAT can still trip up Punit Goenka’s helmsmanship of the merged entity, and significantly delay matters.
