Larsen & Toubro today moved the NCLT seeking higher priority in getting its dues from debt-laden Bhushan Steel which is undergoing insolvency proceedings. Counsels appearing for L&T submitted before the bench that the company owes it Rs 9 billion (Rs 900 crore) in dues for supply of capital goods. The engineering and construction major has asked National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to acknowledge it as a secured creditor for Bhushan Steel.
The NCLT bench has asked the resolution professionals to share their stand on the matter.
The tribunal has listed L&T's plea in Bhushan Steel case on March 23.
