"There is nothing much left for the company (Future Retail). They don't have money, shops. Whatever Reliance has not taken over yet have already been shut down. Future Retail is likely to file for bankruptcy," said Deepak Shenoy, founder and chief executive of Capitalmind in Bengaluru.
Reliance said on Saturday the deal, at the centre of many legal battles since 2020, "cannot be implemented" after Future's secured creditors rejected it.
Future has been in a long-drawn legal battle with U.S. e-commerce giant Amazon over the $3.4 billion sale of its retail assets to rival Reliance Industries.
Amazon had obtained legal injunctions that stalled Future's deal with Reliance, sparking a series of legal battles in various forums, including an arbitration panel in Singapore.
However, Reliance suddenly took control of hundreds of Future stores in February, citing non-payment of rent, after assuming many of the leases held by cash-strapped Future.
