Vedanta takes over management control of Electrosteel
Kolkata, June 11: Anil Agarwal-promoted Vedanta has acquired the management control of the debt-ridden Electrosteel after its resolution plan was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal under the IBC.
"... Vedanta Star Limited has acquired management control of Electrosteel Steels pursuant to resolution plan approved under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016," Vedanta said in a regulatory filing.
In view of the approved resolution plan, an upfront amount has been deposited in the escrow account of Electrosteel and a new board of directors has been put in place, the filing said.
Upon implementation of the resolution plan, Vedanta would hold approximately 90 per cent of the paid up share capital of Electrosteel.

Regulator DGCA eases flight duty norms for pilots amid IndiGo crisis
Mumbai (PTI): Aviation watchdog DGCA on Friday eased the flight duty norms by allowing substitution of leaves with a weekly rest period amid massive operational disruptions at IndiGo, according to sources.
As per the revised Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms, "no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest", which means that weekly rest period and leaves are to be treated separately. The clause was part of efforts to address fatigue issues among the pilots.
Citing IndiGo flight disruptions, sources told PTI that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has decided to withdraw the provision 'no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest' from the FDTL norms.

"In view of the ongoing operational disruptions and representations received from various airlines regarding the need to ensure continuity and stability of operations, it has been considered necessary to review the said provision," DGCA said in a communication dated December 5.
The gaps in planning ahead of the implementation of the revised FDTL, the second phase of which came into force from November 1, have resulted in crew shortage at IndiGo and is one of the key reasons for the current disruptions.
