The full read
Ganesh Benzoplast has won a legal battle that threatened its very existence. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal dismissed an insolvency appeal from Progfin, which had tried to drag the chemical firm into corporate insolvency over a subsidiary's guarantee. The NCLAT order, received July 15, follows the NCLT's own rejection in September 2025 — and closes the case with zero penalty. Hardly surprising. For a company with a market cap of just ₹746 crore, a corporate insolvency process could have been devastating, even if the risk was low. The ruling removes a legal overhang just as Ganesh Benzoplast reports a 93% surge in FY26 net profit to ₹733.4 million. The next test: whether it can rebuild margins after the earlier guidance cut on higher JNPT lease costs.
