NCLT Hyderabad Bench

The NCLT Hyderabad Bench is one of the key benches of the National Company Law Tribunal, serving the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Established as part of the nationwide NCLT framework, the Hyderabad bench handles a significant volume of corporate insolvency, company law, and winding-up matters arising from companies registered in these two states.

Territorial Jurisdiction

The Hyderabad bench exercises jurisdiction over all companies whose registered office is situated in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Following the bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, the Hyderabad bench continues to serve both successor states. Companies registered in cities such as Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Tirupati, and Warangal fall within its jurisdiction.
