Valor Estates Leads Third Round Bidding for Lavasa Corporation

The battle for control of Lavasa Corporation has intensified, with Valor Estates emerging as the top bidder after creditors allowed revised offers and extended the resolution timeline.

In the third round of bidding, Valor Estates offered ₹946 crore (NPV), outpacing rivals. The Welspun–Ashdan consortium followed with a bid of ₹845 crore (NPV), while the Yogayatan Group submitted an updated offer of ₹830 crore (NPV) despite earlier objections to bid revisions.

While Valor holds the highest bid, the Welspun consortium scored strongly on the evaluation matrix due to higher upfront cash, stronger institutional backing, and execution credibility.

The extended timeline has reinvigorated the resolution process, but challenges remain. There may be delays as a result of the Yogayatan Group's petition to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) challenging the lenders' decision to accept new bids.

Once intended to be India's first planned hill city, Lavasa has long been mired in debt, hampered by regulations, and seen its development stall. Its ownership and chances of revival will be determined by the outcome of this bidding war.
