Govt’s rescue of IL&FS may spell major losses for lenders

Live Mint  

New Delhi/Mumbai: The government’s move to take control of debt-laden Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services will only succeed if lenders agree to take substantial losses, government sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters. But IL&FS had compromised on corporate governance and risk management norms, the government told the National Company Law Tribunal on Monday as it explained why it intended to take over the firm. The new six-member IL&FS board will prepare a revival plan, but it is becoming clear some of its lenders will need to suffer major losses, one finance ministry official said. A second government source echoed those views, saying IL&FS needed nearly ₹ 15,000 crore in financial support to avert a collapse and could only be saved if lenders agreed to take a big haircut.
