“We wish to reiterate that Suzlon’s debt resolution and revival plans have never been dependent on any single option,” it informed stock exchanges in regulatory filings.<\/p>\n
“The lenders and the company continue to work hard for a sustainable resolution plan to preserve the value of the company since the relevant stakeholders are mindful about Suzlon’s contribution to Indian renewable energy sector, its strong market position together with its order book as well as industry potential.”<\/p>\n
The company said the lenders have already signed an inter-creditor agreement. In terms of the June 7 circular of Reserve Bank of India, the lenders have time till January 2020 to work on a sustainable resolution plan before taking any extreme steps.<\/p>\n
“Considering the interest of all stakeholders, the lenders and the company are working on a constructive solution,” it said.<\/p>\n

When Suzlon defaulted on a repayment of 221 million dollars in October 2012, it was India’s biggest bond default till then.<\/p>\n
