Latest News about Venugopal Dhoot
Venugopal Dhoot approached the Supreme Court challenging a National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ruling that excluded Videocon's overseas oil and gas assets from the Videocon Industries insolvency process. The tribunal's May 2026 judgment held that including those Brazil and Indonesia holdings would interfere with the commercial decisions of the Committee of Creditors. Dhoot argued that Videocon Oil Ventures and Videocon Industries functioned as a single economic entity.
The National Company Law Tribunal ordered insolvency proceedings against Venugopal Dhoot as a personal guarantor for loans linked to Videocon group companies. The order followed State Bank of India's plea over defaults of around ₹6,158 crore and appointed a resolution professional to oversee the case.
