If sanctioned, SBI’s exposure in Essar Oil alone will be close to Rs 9,500 crore.

Essar Oil, 87 per cent owned by London-listed Essar Energy Plc, had deferred $1.24 billion under a tax benefit provided by Gujarat, where its Vadinar refinery is located. In January, India’s top court ruled that Essar oil was not allowed to defer the payment.
