Zee Entertainment Share Price Falls 8.12 per cent: Here’s Why
Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd shares came under heavy selling pressure on Monday, extending their decline for the fourth consecutive trading session. The stock had fallen as much as 14.3 per cent in intraday trade earlier in the session, hitting Rs 87, before recovering some of the losses. The sharp selloff came amid concerns over the ongoing insolvency proceedings involving Zee Group founder Subhash Chandra.
As of 12:33 PM IST, Zee Entertainment shares were trading at Rs 93.27, down Rs 8.24 or 8.12 per cent from the previous close of Rs 101.51. Trading activity was also elevated, with substantial volumes reported on both the BSE and NSE during the session.
Subhash Chandra Repayment Plan Triggers Selling
The key trigger behind the fall is the decision by Canara Bank, Union Bank of India and LIC Housing Finance Ltd to challenge the National Company Law Tribunal's (NCLT) approval of a repayment plan submitted by Subhash Chandra in his personal insolvency case. The lenders had opposed the plan and have decided to approach the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).
The NCLT approved the repayment plan on August 25, 2026, despite objections from several financial creditors. Under the plan, Rs 6.25 crore is proposed to be paid to creditors, while another Rs 25 lakh has been earmarked towards insolvency-process costs. This compares with admitted creditor claims of approximately Rs 22,006.57 crore, implying a haircut of nearly 99.97 per cent.
Lenders Challenge NCLT Order
Canara Bank, Union Bank of India and LIC Housing Finance Ltd have said they will challenge the NCLT order. The three lenders collectively held an 8.45 per cent voting share in the insolvency proceedings and had voted against the repayment plan.
LIC Housing Finance Ltd held a 6.09 per cent voting share, Canara Bank held 1.60 per cent and Union Bank of India held 0.76 per cent. The plan was ultimately approved after creditors representing 80.81 per cent of the voting share voted in favour.
The lenders have raised concerns regarding the repayment plan and the insolvency process. The legal challenge is expected to take the dispute to the NCLAT, keeping the matter under scrutiny.

HDFC Bank Also Exploring Appeal
HDFC Bank has also indicated that it is exploring an appeal against the NCLT order. The bank had opposed and voted against the repayment plan, which was approved by the majority of creditors.
Some dissenting creditors had also sought a forensic audit and asset-tracing exercise while raising concerns over the participation of certain entities in the voting process.
