Tareek pe tareek pe tareek," ranted Bollywood actor Sunny Deol in a famous scene from the 1990s movie, Damini, which epitomised Indian the judiciary’s snail pace in deciding on cases.
Indeed, State Bank of India’s (SBI) chairman Rajnish Kumar would have had the same feeling as Deol’s character, with the recovery from defaulter Essar Steel stretching on and on.
But finally, after 830 days of entering the insolvency process, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the committee of creditors (COC) and asked the promoters to hand over the keys of Essar Steel to winning bidder Arcelor Mittal SA.
This means that lenders to Essar Steel will soon get their cheques and it is no chump change. For SBI, this means ₹13,220 crore worth of money. In total, the promoters owe banks a whopping ₹49,473 crores.
