This is not a guaranteed outcome, the main point of tension: the debt holders (the CoC, led by Prudent ARC) are currently acting like they want the asset (the port) more than they want the cash.
Here is a breakdown of why this isn't a "done deal" yet and what the creditors are likely thinking.
1. The "90% Rule" (The Biggest Hurdle)
Under India's Section 12A rules, even if you offer 100% of the money back, the insolvency process can only be stopped if 90% of the creditors vote "Yes."
• The Conflict: If Prudent ARC (the debt holder) wants to own the port because they think it's worth £160m, they might vote "No" to your cash offer of £50m.
• The Legal Fight: This is why MPL went to the Supreme Court. They are arguing that it is "bad faith" for a creditor to refuse 100% repayment just so they can seize a much more valuable asset.
2. The "Asset Grab" Concern
