In the fourth round of bidding process to find a buyer for Jaypee Infratech, Suraksha group had won the bid with 98.66 per cent votes -- 0.12 per cent more votes than NBCC.

Suraksha group, in its final resolution plan, offered to bankers over 2,500 acres of land and nearly Rs 1,300 crore by way of issuing non-convertible debentures. It has also proposed to complete all pending flats over the next four years.

Jaypee Infratech's lenders have submitted a claim of Rs 9,783 crore. The CIRP was initiated over an application by an IDBI Bank-led consortium.
