Reliance Capital Rushes Asset Sales Ahead of Repayments in June
Beleaguered Indian tycoon Anil Ambani is on an asset sale spree to raise funds to meet mounting debt obligations.
(Bloomberg) -- Beleaguered Indian tycoon Anil Ambani is on an asset sale spree to raise funds to meet mounting debt obligations.
New fundraising via such sales will help Reliance Capital Ltd., the last stronghold of the former billionaire’s wider conglomerate, to pay 11 billion rupees ($158 million) that comes due over the next month. The company is in talks to sell its general insurance unit to Hero FinCorp Ltd., people familiar with the matter said.
Over the past two weeks, Ambani also announced the sale of a radio station and mutual fund business to repay creditors. The holding company for the group’s financial services business and its units Reliance Home Finance Ltd. and Reliance Commercial Finance Ltd. were recently downgraded several notches by rating companies, which cited the cash crunch and delays in asset sales.
Credit market stakeholders will be watching out for following payments.
