In addition, it enjoys a faster cash flow conversion cycle and healthier ROCE.

Investor Analysis
Investor Concern: The CIRP Proceeding – What it means for shareholders?
The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 is a time bound process initiated by creditor against company that defaulted on loan. Once admitted by NCLT, a Resolution Professional is appointed who takes charge of management from existing leadership. Market value of shares of those company facing CIRP tanks down to zero because during the process liabilities of the company is settled according to waterfall rule – means secured financial creditors are settled first then operational creditors and last comes the shareholders.
However, if we talk about Veremax, the company has defaulted a loan of INR 17.39 Cr as on November 2024. The petition against Veremax is under review and pending adjudication.
