MUMBAI: The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has allowed IL&FS to sell road projects of IL&FS Transportation Networks through an infrastructure investment trust (InvIT). With this clearance, the company will now be able to issue units of InvIT to key lenders including SBI, Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Bank of India and Indian Overseas Bank.
The InvIT had already received final registration from Sebi and all other requirements to form the InvIT are in place. The sale of road assets through the InvIT route will address the group’s debt to the extent of Rs 9,214 crore. An IL&FS spokesperson confirmed the development. “The valuation presents a significantly improved recovery for the creditors of these SPVs as well as group companies who have provided debt to these SPVs,” the spokesperson said.
