A What happened
The NCLAT has dismissed an insolvency petition against Voltas, confirming the earlier decision made by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The NCLT had ruled that there were ongoing disputes between Voltas and Air Wave Technocrafts regarding work certification and payment obligations. Air Wave Technocrafts, which provided HVAC services to Voltas, claimed a debt of Rs 1.20 crore and filed for insolvency after Voltas failed to make payments. The NCLAT found no merit in the appeal, stating that the NCLT had correctly identified the pre-existing disputes. This ruling is crucial for Voltas as it maintains the company's operational stability amidst financial claims.
