Edelweiss ARC to raise $100 million for Bharati Shipyard: Report

24 Dec 2014 Evaluate

In a bid to infuse liquidity into the cash-strapped shipbuilder -- Bharati Shipyard, Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC) is reportedly looking to raise up to $100 million (Rs 634 crore) for the company from foreign investors by April. Edelweiss ARC bought 60% of the Rs 7,000 crore worth of outstanding loans from SBI-led consortium of bankers representing Bharati Shipyard in June.

It is driving the restructuring process to keep the once-profitable Bharati afloat. However, 11 banks still hold Rs 2,800-crore debt. These funds could be sourced either from a financial investor or from a strategic investor who comes in along with the required funding. The funds could come in the form of debt or a combination of debt-cum-equity.

Bharati Shipyard, a leading Indian private sector shipyard is engaged in design and construction of Sea-going, Coastal, Harbour, Inland crafts and vessels. The product range which initially was limited to simple inland cargo barges, deep-sea trawlers and dredgers has now been upgraded to building maneuverable and power-packed Ocean Going Tractor Tugs, Cargo Ships, Tankers and other support vessels required for the offshore industry.
