For a nano-cap sugar company with a market cap of ₹156 cr, escaping a CIRP triggered by a ₹2.25 cr default removes an existential threat. The settlement restores management's ability to operate normally and likely triggers a re-rating.

The full read
Oswal Overseas has pulled itself out of insolvency. The NCLAT dismissed the CIRP appeal as withdrawn after the sugar maker paid ₹2.80 crore to L H Sugar Factories — fully discharging a ₹2.25 crore default plus interest. The creditor confirmed the debt is settled. The tribunal directed the interim resolution professional to collate claims but barred any EOI until NCLT formally approves the Section 12A withdrawal. For a nano-cap with a ₹156 crore market cap, this is a decisive reversal of an existential risk. Management can now focus on restarting operations instead of defending against CIRP.
