NCLT Mumbai Bench has admitted an insolvency petition filed by Reliance Alpha Services Private Limited against Prime Focus Limited under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The admitted default amount is Rs. 353.79 crores, comprising principal of Rs. 200 crores plus accumulated interest. The default date is 1st December 2021. NPV Insolvency Professionals Private Limited has been appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional. Separately, NCLAT issued an interim direction on 8th May 2026 directing the IRP to not take any further steps until the next hearing on 11th May 2026, effectively placing a temporary hold on the insolvency process. The company has disputed the claim, arguing no actual loan disbursement was made and the obligation was contingent on asset transfers under a Business Transfer Agreement.
This is a negative development for shareholders as admission of an insolvency petition means the company faces potential corporate insolvency resolution process. Trading in the stock may be suspended or affected. The NCLAT interim stay provides temporary relief but the underlying insolvency proceedings remain active.
