AION Capital-JSW Steel consortium agrees to pay Monnet Ispat’s small creditors

Live Mint  

Mumbai: The AION Capital-JSW Steel consortium has agreed to pay small operational creditors of Monnet Ispat after the dedicated bankruptcy court observed that there is nothing for small vendors in the resolution plan and they need to keep them in mind while acquiring an asset at such an attractive valuation. The lone successful bidder agreed to set aside around ₹ 25 crore for MSME vendors, which will increase the total acquisition amount to ₹ 2,875 crore for the AION-JSW Steel consortium. “When you are getting a company for ₹ 2,850 crore whose fair market value is over ₹ 4, 000 crore then you should make at least some provision for small operational creditors,” observed the Mumbai bench of the NCLT while hearing arguments of the AION-JSW application. “You can eliminate big operational creditors that are listed companies or major corporations but you have to think about micro and small enterprises.” Fredun De Vitre, senior counsel who was appearing for the AION-JSW consortium, said that they are willing to make an allocation of ₹ 25 crore for such small operational creditors.
