SBI-Led Consortium Says ₹8,752 Crore Remains Due From Mallya
Banks led by the State Bank of India say Vijay Mallya still owes them money.
They told the Bombay High Court that about ₹8,752 crore remained unpaid on August 31, 2026.
The lenders also described money recovered temporarily under a bond and another amount recovered before a tribunal case.
They said the outstanding total had risen from a January 2026 figure because of later accruals.
Mallya says the banks have recovered more than the debt he was ordered to pay.
He wants the criminal case against him to end.
The Enforcement Directorate says giving recovered assets back to a bank does not automatically end a criminal case.
The court is scheduled to hear the matter again on October 13.
An SBI-led consortium told the Bombay High Court that ₹8,751.86 crore remained outstanding as of August 31, 2026, excluding legal and other expenses.
The lenders said ₹10,269.96 crore had been temporarily recovered under a bond undertaking and ₹544.58 crore before the Debt Recovery Tribunal suit.
One affidavit cited ₹8,135.63 crore outstanding as of January 2026; lenders said subsequent accruals increased the amount by August.
Mallya argues that recoveries exceeding the adjudicated debt justify ending criminal proceedings; the consortium opposes his plea.
The Enforcement Directorate says asset restoration to SBI does not extinguish pending money-laundering proceedings; the next hearing is scheduled for October 13.
