New Delhi, Jan 11 (PTI) Sebi on Thursday said it will auction 30 properties of six companies, including Mangalam Agro Products, on February 13 to recover money illegally collected from the investors.

The properties will be auctioned for a reserve price of nearly Rs 30 crore.

The other companies whose properties will also be auctioned are Bishal group of companies, Purusattam Infotech Industries, NVD Solar Ltd, Sun Plant Business and Jivan Sathi Dream Projects.

The properties that go under the hammer include land parcels, plots, land with building structures and flats in West Bengal and Odisha, and they will be auctioned at a reserve price of Rs 29.97 crore, according to a notice issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).

The markets regulator invited bids for sale of properties in the recovery proceedings against Mangalam Agro Products, Purusattam Infotech Industries, Jivan Sathi Dream Projects, Sun Plant Business, Bishal group and NVD Solar, along with their promoters/ directors, it said.

The move is part of Sebi's effort to recover investors' money.

Further, Adroit Technical Services has been engaged by the regulator to assist it in sale of the properties.

Of the 30 properties being put on the block, 10 are related to Mangalam Agro Products, eight to Bishal group of companies, five related to directors of NVD Solar, four of Sun Plant Business Ltd, two properties related to Jivan Sathi Dream Projects and one of Purusattam Infotech Industries.

The markets watchdog said the auction will be conducted online on February 13 from 11 am to 1 pm.

Sebi has asked the bidders to make their own independent enquiries regarding the encumbrances, litigations, title of the properties put on auction and claims, before submitting their bid.
