In a regulatory filing, Piramal Enterprises said: "National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (NCLT), has today accorded its approval to the resolution plan of PCHFL in relation to the CIRP of DHFL. The certified copy of the order of the NCLT is awaited."

Wadhawan had filed a petition at the NCLT, and the order was reserved since January 15. He offered to repay 100 per cent principal amount to all the creditors. In his revised proposal of Rs 91,158 crore for the creditors, Wadhawan promised to make an upfront payment of Rs 9,000 crore.
In a statement, Piramal Group said: "We are pleased with the judgment today by the NCLT for approving our resolution plan for DHFL. This follows the endorsement of 94 per cent of lenders, and the subsequent approvals from RBI and CCI, and reiterates the strength and quality of our bid."
