Cyient: commencement of liquidation process for JV Infotech Hal
Cyient Limited has announced the commencement of the liquidation process for Infotech HAL Limited, a 50:50 joint venture (JV) with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), following an order from the National Company Law Tribunal. The tribunal, in Interlocutory Application No. (Liq.) 01/2026 under Company Petition CP (IB) No. 99/BB/2024, directed the liquidation on March 3, 2026, after Infotech HAL Limited filed for insolvency under Sections 33(2) and 34(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. Mr. Vasudevan Gopu has been appointed as liquidator to oversee asset realization, creditor claims, and distribution.
The JV, established to deliver engineering and IT services in aerospace and defence, had previously disclosed insolvency proceedings on March 20, 2024, and August 28, 2025. Cyient's stock traded at ₹879.50 on March 5, 2026, reflecting a 0.31% decline, with market capitalization near ₹9,720 crore. Analysts note the muted market reaction, attributing it to the JV's limited operational scale relative to Cyient's broader engineering services portfolio.
Cyient Limited, a global provider of engineering and digital solutions, has historically collaborated with HAL on aerospace projects. The liquidation formally concludes the insolvency process for the JV, with no immediate material impact on Cyient's core operations. The liquidator will now proceed with asset valuation and creditor settlements under regulatory frameworks.
