What happened
On October 1, 2026, the Supreme Court ordered a stay on National Company Law Tribunal cases operating in New Delhi and Mumbai. The NCLT is currently facing operational difficulties, including a shortage of 14 members against its sanctioned strength of 62, and a ratio imbalance between judicial and technical members.

Why it matters
The NCLT approved 107 corporate insolvency cases during the last quarter, with the value of approved cases reaching Rs 11,000 crore. The combination of judicial stays from the Supreme Court and internal staffing shortages could moderate the pace of corporate insolvency resolutions in India.
