Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved has shown a strong desire to buy the financially struggling technology company Rolta India in a calculated move. An offer of Rs 830 crore in cash has been made by the corporation. According to ET sources, this development occurs soon after Pune-based Ashdan Properties was named the top bidder for Rolta.

In an official move, Patanjali Ayurved has petitioned the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to get their offer accepted in the current bidding process. A committee has been appointed to assess and determine the company’s involvement in this crucial stage.

Promoted by Kamal Singh, Rolta India is a defense-oriented software company that filed for bankruptcy in January 2023. The company is heavily indebted; it owes Union Bank of India (UBI) Rs 7,100 crore and international bondholders, led mainly by Citigroup, an extra Rs 6,699 crore.

After Rolta first missed payments on loans in foreign currencies in 2016, he was able to avoid bankruptcy several times. But as a result of a petition that Union Bank filed, it is presently on the NCLT table. Manufacturing, retail, healthcare, financial services, power, defense and homeland security, and manufacturing are all included in Rolta’s corporate portfolio.

In the financial year 2022, the company reported a staggering loss of ₹1000 crore, with a meager revenue of Rs 38 crore during the same period. Interestingly, Rolta’s real estate assets, particularly in Mumbai, could serve as an attractive proposition for potential bidders.

According to reports, Ramdev’s Ayurved may be considering Rolta’s IT infrastructure in addition to the real estate appeal as part of a strategic goal to bolster its home delivery application capabilities.

An important turning point in the ongoing story of Rolta India’s financial restructuring has been reached with this decision by Patanjali Ayurved. The addition of a reputable and multifaceted organization such as Patanjali may introduce distinct dynamics into the bidding process and influence Rolta India’s future in the technology industry. As the NCLT panel considers Ramdev’s proposal, observers of the sector eagerly anticipate the next developments in this corporate narrative.
