Jindal (India) has reportedly submitted a debt resolution plan for Future Enterprises under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) process. Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Retail is already in the race to acquire the company. Earlier, Reliance Retail had sought time till October 30 to take a call on its bid for Future Enterprises.

Details of the financial bid placed by Jindal couldn't be ascertained as it was submitted in a sealed envelope, the Economic Times reported.
