NCLT Delays SpiceJet Bankruptcy Ruling After Last-Minute Lessor Settlement
The development is procedural rather than a final insolvency finding. A settlement or adjournment does not mean that SpiceJet has been admitted into insolvency; that would require a specific tribunal order.
What changed
Reuters reported that the NCLT criticised SpiceJet over a last-minute settlement with one of eight aircraft lessors, delaying a ruling expected on bankruptcy petitions. The tribunal postponed the ruling to Wednesday to assess the settlement and remaining matters.
Why it matters

Action required
