Cash-strapped IL&FS wants government to bail it out

Live Mint  

Mumbai: The Union government may have to bailout cash-strapped Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services, if latest discussions between the group’s board and the government are any indication, according to three people familiar with the development. IL&FS’s plan to raise ₹ 4,500 crore through a rights issue that closed on Friday devolved, the second of the three people cited earlier said on condition of anonymity. And therefore, the IL&FS board’s move to knock the central government’s door makes sense,” the person said.NextMAds IL&FS’s rights issue was open from 5 October to 19 October. If it does not work out, we can raise money through a major line of credit, which will be much easier now because the lenders now clearly understand that the government is backing us and is keen to rescue the group, which in turn indicate that the likelihood of their loans going waste is much lower now.”thirdMAds The government may also soon pay part of the ₹ 16,000 crore it owes to the company in lump sum to enable repayments, the person said. “The board feels that IL&FS will need a repayment moratorium for at least a year from now, by when the asset monetization plan currently in the works will start showing results,” the first person said.
