The lenders, led by State Bank of India (SBI), were counselled by Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas.

According to Indian media, the 1980-mw power plant in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, owned by Jayprakash Associates, became the first of the nearly dozen stressed power plants proposed to be resolved by lenders outside insolvency court.

The AZB team was led by partners Darshika Kothari and Nilanjana Singh.
