As per the resolution plan approved by NCLT Chennai, secured lenders of Coastal Energen will get about ₹3,330 crore, which is 28.52% of the admitted claims of about ₹11,677 crore.
The consortium has incorporated a special purpose vehicle (SPV) Moxie Power Generation Limited for implementation of the resolution plan.
