Reliance Power has successfully settled its obligations as a guarantor for Vidarbha Industries Power, eliminating a significant debt of ₹3,872.04 crore.

This milestone has led the company’s shares to hit the upper circuit limit, reflecting strong investor confidence.

On the morning of September 18, Reliance Power's stock rose by 5% on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), trading at ₹32.97.

The settlement includes the complete discharge of corporate guarantees and obligations linked to the outstanding debt, marking a major financial turnaround for the company.

Additionally, Reliance Power has resolved all disputes with CFM Asset Reconstruction.

As part of the agreement, 100% of the shares of Vidarbha Industries Power Limited (VIPL) have been pledged to CFM in exchange for the release of the corporate guarantee provided by Reliance Power.

In a significant development, Reliance Power also announced that it has achieved zero debt status from banks and financial institutions.

The company reported a consolidated net worth of ₹11,155 crore as of the end of the first quarter of FY25, indicating a robust financial position.

The company, along with Rosa Power Supply Company and VIPL, will withdraw all legal proceedings against CFM, while CFM will reciprocate by withdrawing its claims against Reliance Power and Rosa Power Supply under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.

This financial turnaround comes amidst challenges for the company, including regulatory scrutiny.

On August 22, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) banned promoter Anil Ambani from the securities market for five years, imposing a ₹25 crore penalty.

However, Reliance Power clarified that it was not a party to the SEBI proceedings, asserting that the order has no impact on its business operations.

In its statement, Reliance Power emphasized that Anil Ambani had previously resigned from the board in 2022 following an interim SEBI order, further distancing the company from the regulatory issues.
