INSOL India is convening a timely webinar examining the recent Supreme Court spectrum judgment and its evolving impact on insolvency jurisprudence, treatment of regulated assets, and restructuring strategy on Monday, 2nd March 2026 at 5 PM.
We are honoured to have key stalwarts from the R&I space share their views on this landmark judgment, in conversation with Shri Krishnendu Datta, Senior Advocate; Supreme Court of India Mr. Ashish Chhawchharia, Partner & Leader – Debt & Special Situations, Grant Thornton Bharat LLP; and Mr. Raghav Bhandari, Senior Analyst – Private Credit & Special Situations, SC LOWY. The session will be moderated by Ms. Ishana Tripathi, Director - Research & Innovation, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co.
The discussion will cover:
• The Supreme Court’s articulation of spectrum as a public trust resource — factual background, core issues, and legal reasoning shaping the ruling
• Practical implications for telecom insolvencies, including spectrum-linked valuation complexities, lender recovery expectations, and constraints on resolution plan design
• Emerging spillover risks for other regulated sectors such as mining, coal, petroleum, and infrastructure concessions where licence-based rights intersect with insolvency frameworks
• Comparative global perspectives on treatment of government licences and concessions in insolvency and restructuring scenarios
• The policy roadmap ahead — the need for legislative clarity, regulatory alignment, and pragmatic structuring approaches for lenders, resolution professionals, investors, and policymakers
Join us for a focused conversation unpacking a judgment that is likely to influence the future treatment of regulated assets within India’s insolvency ecosystem.
