DRT Indore — Jurisdiction, Address & Filing Details
DRT Indore is the Debt Recovery Tribunal with territorial jurisdiction over Indore, Ujjain, Dhar and 5 additional districts. The tribunal operates under the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993 and hears Original Applications, Section 19(7) interim attachment applications, and Section 17 SARFAESI challenges filed within its jurisdiction. DRT Indore covers western and central MP districts. The MP High Court Indore Bench actively supervises SARFAESI matters, and there is a well-established practice of filing anticipatory writ petitions to stay DRT proceedings — requiring swift counter-action from banks.
DRT Indore exercises jurisdiction over Indore, Ujjain, Dhar, Ratlam, Mandsaur, Neemuch, Khandwa, and Khargone. Identifying the correct DRT bench before filing is critical — a mismatch in territorial jurisdiction will result in return of the OA and wasted court fees. Unified Chambers verifies jurisdictional competency before filing any application.
Indore is Madhya Pradesh's commercial capital and handles a disproportionate share of pharmaceutical, soybean processing, and textile NPA matters. The city's emergence as India's cleanest city has also fuelled real estate development, and several developers have subsequently defaulted on construction finance — making mixed-use property SARFAESI enforcement a growing category at DRT Indore.
