It has sought initiation of insolvency proceedings against the motorcycle manufacturer. NCLT will hear the case next week. DHL did not respond to queries.

“As of now, we have not received any communication from NCLT, and therefore we are not in a position to comment on this matter,” a statement from Eicher Motors said.

The insolvency law classifies creditors such as those providing goods and services to a company as operational creditors.
