The homebuyers have received a penalty of Rs 325 crore for the delay during the insolvency. But the two bidders called resolution applicants under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code are not offering any compensation.
The NBCC and the Suraksha Realty offered more land parcels to lenders in their final bids to acquire bankrupt realtor, Jaypee Infratech, through the insolvency process.
