Because of Jaypee’s crises, the parent has witnessed major impact on its share price, however, last year Jhunjhunwala was optimistic in the company which is why he had bought 50,000,000 equity shares in June 2018 quarter. 

However, since then a lot has changed. While Jaypee goes ahead with its bankruptcy procedures, investors have been losing in Jaiprakash. So did Jhunjhunwala!

Now the current scenario is such that, Jaiprakash has once again submitted a new proposal to a consortium of banks led by IDBI Bank.

However, the details of settlement is not disclosed. 

The realty arm of Jaiprakash also saw boost in its share price following the development, so much, that it rose by nearly 5% on BSE.

Currently, Jaypee is under Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016. Its affairs, business and assets are being managed by the Interim Resolution Professional, Anuj Jain, appointed by the National Company Law Tribunal.

Jaypee was in RBI’s first list of defaulters who were chalk down for insolvency resolution.
