An amount of Rs 7,550 crore for 3 road assets (Chenani Nashri Tunnelway Limited, Jorabat Shillong Expressway Limited, and Chongqing Yuhe Expressway Company Limited); Rs 4,900 crore for restructuring of ITPCL; Rs 1,370 crore towards settlement amounts to be received by Kiratpur Ner Chowk Expressway Limited and Fagne Songarh Expressway Limited pursuant to termination of the relevant concession agreements; and Rs 200 crore for environment and real estate entities have added in the Resolution and Restructuring applications that have been filed with the NCLT (Mumbai) and NCLAT for final approvals.
