NBCC (India) Ltd. has been appointed as project management consultant by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal for completion of 16 projects of Supertech Ltd., according to an exchange filing on Thursday.

NBCC will complete 16 projects with 49,748 houses in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana and Karnataka. The tentative construction cost of the project is approximately Rs 9,445 crore, including 3% contingency. The PMC fees were fixed at 8%, including 1% marketing fee, the public sector undertaking said.

In September, the state-owned firm moved the Supreme Court seeking to develop and complete Supertech's 17 stalled or partially built projects. Completion of the residential units was hit due to financial crisis faced by the embattled realty major, which led to insolvency proceedings since 2021.

Union Bank of India had initiated insolvency proceedings against Supertech under section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code on March 20, 2021, claiming a total amount of over Rs 431 core as on Jan. 31, 2021, along with accrued interest
