The NCLT Kolkata Bench has ruled in favor of MBECL, ordering the recovery of ₹24.25 Crore plus 9% interest from UCO Bank and three Joint Venture entities.

The total recovery amount is highly material, representing approximately 33% of the company's TTM revenue of ₹73 Crore.

Credit & Counterparty Risk
Debtors turnover ratio is low at 0.22, suggesting slow collection of receivables, which are currently under reconciliation and arbitration.
