Adani Group Seeks Approval to Acquire Debt-Ridden Jaiprakash Associates
Imagine a big company, Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL), got into money trouble and can't pay its debts.
This means it is going through a special process called corporate insolvency resolution.
Now, another company, the Adani Group, wants to buy JAL.
They've asked the government to approve this.
Another company, Dalmia Cement, also wants to buy JAL.
