Spright Agro enters CIRP in 2026 after ₹8.66 crore claim

What happened and why it matters

Spright Agro Limited (BSE: 531205) has been admitted into the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad, after a petition by an operational creditor over alleged unpaid dues exceeding ₹8.66 crore. The order brings the company under a moratorium and shifts key decisions to an Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) during the process.

For investors tracking small-cap counters and BSE corporate filings, the admission is a material development because CIRP changes how liabilities are handled and how the company can operate financially. It also follows a period of weak reported sales performance, including a sharp year-on-year drop in standalone net sales for the quarter ended December 2025.

NCLT Ahmedabad admits the company into CIRP

As per the case details, NCLT Ahmedabad admitted Spright Agro into CIRP on 24 September 2026. The reporting date for the development is 29 September 2026 (4:07 PM IST).

The matter was heard by a Bench comprising Judicial Member Chitra Hankare and Technical Member Dr VG Venkata Chalapathy. The tribunal recorded that the operational creditor established “debt and default” based on authenticated records maintained by the National e-Governance Services Ltd. (NeSL), and that the outstanding amount crossed the statutory threshold.

The NCLT also imposed a moratorium and appointed Chartered Accountant Rajesh Jasti as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP).

Who filed the petition and what the claim relates to

The petition was filed by Agrirevolve Trading Private Limited, described as an operational creditor. Agrirevolve was incorporated in 2024 and trades in agricultural produce.

According to the case narrative, Agrirevolve entered into a supply agreement with Spright Agro on 18 October 2025 to supply cucumbers, capsicum, lemons, and other agricultural produce. The dispute centres on non-payment of dues arising from this supply arrangement.

The claim cited in the filing is more than ₹8.66 crore.

Evidence cited: NeSL records, cheques and written confirmation

The tribunal’s findings referred to authenticated NeSL records to establish default. The default was confirmed on NeSL on 15 December 2025.

Agrirevolve issued a demand notice on 12 January 2026. The record also notes that Spright Agro issued post-dated cheques towards the dues. Separately, Spright Agro later confirmed in writing that it owed ₹8.51 crore along with interest at 18% per annum.

The NCLT order notes there was a provision for interest in the agreement and concluded that the debt, including principal, exceeded the threshold.

Spright Agro’s position on liability and interest

The case record indicates Spright Agro admitted liability for the principal amount, but disputed the contractual interest rate of 18% per annum. The NCLT, however, concluded that debt and default were proved, including via NeSL records, and proceeded to admit the company into CIRP.

This distinction between principal admission and interest dispute is relevant because it reflects that the default itself was not denied in respect of the principal, even though terms were contested.

What CIRP admission typically changes operationally

With CIRP admission, a moratorium is imposed and an IRP is appointed. In practice, this is the stage where control over key processes shifts to the IRP under the insolvency framework, and creditor claims are dealt with through the CIRP mechanism.

The tribunal’s directions in this matter specifically include the moratorium and the appointment of Rajesh Jasti as IRP. Any subsequent steps would flow through the CIRP framework from this admission.
