- NCLAT stayed CIRP proceedings after Oswal settled with L H Sugar Factories.
- Parties must seek NCLT approval under Section 12A for formal withdrawal.
- IRP reported two claims received since CIRP order; stay is temporary until next hearing.
Why this matters
The stay removes the immediate existential threat for a nano-cap sugar maker with only ₹2 cr quarterly sales. But formal withdrawal is not guaranteed; other claims exist and NCLT must approve. Even if it goes through, the company still faces severe financial distress.

The full read
Oswal Overseas just won a temporary reprieve. The NCLAT stayed its corporate insolvency after the company settled its ₹2.25 cr debt with L H Sugar Factories. But the journey is not over. The tribunal has directed the parties to seek formal withdrawal under Section 12A of the IBC, and the IRP reports that two other claims have already come in. For a company with ₹2 cr in quarterly sales and a 92% revenue decline trailing twelve months, and a market cap of ₹156 cr that looks detached from business reality, avoiding insolvency is a start, not a solution. The stay removes the immediate existential threat. What remains is whether Oswal can convince NCLT it is clear, and then whether it can run a viable business at all.
Questions answered
- What exactly did NCLAT order?
- NCLAT stayed all CIRP proceedings after Oswal and L H Sugar Factories reached a settlement. The order bars the IRP from taking further steps until the next hearing.
- Is the insolvency fully resolved?
- No. The stay is temporary; the parties must approach NCLT for formal withdrawal under Section 12A. NCLT has to approve, and two other claims are already on record.
- How large is the debt relative to the company?
- The default amount is ₹2.25 cr, while Oswal's market cap is ₹156 cr and its latest quarterly revenue was just ₹2 cr. The debt is small in absolute terms but large relative to current business.
- What happens to the stock now?
- The stay reduces near-term uncertainty, but the company is still loss-making with negative growth. Formal exit from CIRP, if it happens, would be a positive but does not fix the underlying financial weakness.
