Canara Bank has initiated a debt auction worth INR 577 crore for Supreme Housing and Infrastructure Limited as part of recovery efforts during the company's insolvency process. The lender has invited bids from financial institutions and asset reconstruction companies to acquire the non-performing loan, which relates to several residential and commercial real estate projects developed by the Supreme Group. The move follows the initiation of corporate insolvency resolution proceedings, with the National Company Law Tribunal appointing a resolution professional to manage the process. Canara Bank's auction is aimed at improving asset recovery and enabling the continuation or completion of ongoing projects under the oversight of the resolution professional. The bank's action is part of broader efforts by lenders to resolve stressed assets in the real estate sector.

The loan exposure relates to multiple residential and commercial projects undertaken by the Supreme Group. Canara Bank's auction is designed to transfer the stressed asset to entities capable of restructuring the debt and facilitating project completion or resolution. The bank has indicated that the auction will proceed under the terms laid out in the insolvency framework, with interested bidders required to submit expressions of interest and comply with the prescribed evaluation criteria.
Officials involved in the process said the auction is part of a broader strategy by lenders to address non-performing assets in the real estate sector, where project delays and market challenges have strained developer finances. By enabling the transfer of stressed loans to specialised investors or asset managers, banks aim to improve recovery outcomes while allowing projects to progress under new financial and operational oversight.
Supreme Housing and Infrastructure Limited has been engaged in the development of several housing and commercial real estate projects across key urban markets. The company's financial difficulties led to the invocation of insolvency proceedings, with the resolution professional tasked with managing creditor claims, assessing asset values and exploring viable restructuring or sale options.
Canara Bank's debt auction follows similar recovery actions by lenders in recent years, as the banking sector has sought to resolve legacy exposures to developers facing liquidity and execution challenges. The auction process is expected to conclude once the bank evaluates bids and selects a suitable bidder, subject to regulatory and procedural approvals under the insolvency regime.
The outcome of the auction will determine the next phase of asset management for Supreme Housing's projects, potentially involving completion strategies, sale of assets, or corporate restructuring under the supervision of the resolution professional. The process underscores the continuing efforts by financial institutions to strengthen asset quality and resolve stressed accounts in the real estate industry.
