The new
management of troubled Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services on
Wednesday presented to the National Company Law Tribunal a resolution plan,
which includes “significant†capital infusion by shareholders or new investors,
divestment of assets, liquidation of a few group companies, and debt
restructuring at both group level and business vertical level. The
infrastructure financier has taken austerity measures, including a salary cut
of 10 per cent for those earning Rs 5 million and more and removing 69
consultants, the resolution plan said, apart from giving instances of fund
diversion from the firm. “We have brought a road map before (the Mumbai bench)
that we intend to follow and, from now, it will be the execution of this road
map. We have given detailed steps that we intend to follow, the steps already
taken and the instances that have come to the notice of the board of directors,
as well as on the challenges and threats that were looming when the new board
took over," Sanjay Shorey, director of legal prosecution at the corporate
affairs ministry, told the tribunal. The new board headed by Kotak Mahindra
Bank Chairman Uday Kotak expects to complete the process in the next six to nine
months after following the due process in finalisation and implementation of
the resolution plan, subject to market and economic conditions.
