Ltd. (Dalmia Group) was strongly opposed by Ultra Tech which was the second highest bidder (H-2 Bidder), SBI-Hong Kong Branch, Exim Bank and other operational creditors.In the Resolution Plan submitted by Dalmia Group, SBI-Hong Kong was offered just 10 percent of its verified claim and Exim Bank was offered 70 percent of its verified claim.The Ultra Tech, through its revised offer, had offered 100 percent payment of verified claims of all secured and unsecured creditors.
