Electrosteel’ lenders willing to recast debt only on fulfillment of certain demands

24 Jun 2013 Evaluate

The troubled Kolkata-based DI pipes maker Electrosteel Steels,  has finally found some solace, as SBI led consortium of lenders apparently are willing for recasting loan of Rs 7000 crore, however only on fulfillment of certain demands, which include corporate guarantees by promoters. Further, the debt recast proposal is expected to be admitted to the CDR cell by next month and is expected to be completed towards the end of the second half, i.e. by September-end.

Under the CDR regime, which is the mechanism to help troubled companies to restructure their loans, 75 per cent of the lenders should accept the CDR proposal. Further, according to the new-tightened CDR norms, the promoters seeking to recast their loans should bring in 25% of the loan amount as fresh capital infusion. Until now, however, Electrosteel Steels CDR has been accepted by around 60 per cent of the lenders only though a ‘flash report’ has been accepted by all the banks.

Apart from Rs 1000 crore exposure from SBI, the other lenders to the troubled Kolkata-based DI pipes and casting manufacturer, include Punjab National Bank (Rs 400 crore), Srei Infra (Rs 440 crore), Indian Overseas Bank (Rs 350 crore) exposure, Oriental Bank of Commerce and UCO Bank (Rs 300 crore each).
