NHPC–JPCL Amalgamation: Final Hearing Date Postponed
NHPC Limited, the government-owned national hydroelectric power producer, is pursuing a merger with Jalpower Corporation Limited (a smaller hydropower entity). The scheme of amalgamation was filed before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Delhi bench. The postponement of the final hearing (as of 21 August 2026) indicates the tribunal has granted an adjournment, likely to allow parties to address interim issues, creditor feedback, or ministerial clearances. No revised hearing date was disclosed in this exchange notice.
Why it mattersPostponement of NCLT final hearing in a government-backed merger suggests either substantive objections from creditors/stakeholders, regulatory coordination delays (likely with DPE/Ministry of Power), or refinement of the scheme terms - practitioners should monitor for amended scheme disclosures and conditional approval orders.
