Why did Sarda Energy & Minerals share price rise today?
In August 2024, Torrent Power reached out to the NCLAT with an appeal against Sarda Energy & Minerals winning the SKS Power Generation acquisition. They had labelled the selection process as discriminatory and argued that their bid offered the highest immediate cash payment, as per the PTI report. Jindal Power, and Singapore-based Vantage Point Asset Management also appealed against the company’s winning.
