‘Investors evince interest in DHFL stake’

July 22, 2019 11:03 pm | Updated 11:03 pm IST - Mumbai

Mortgage lender DHFL, which is facing a cash crunch and has decided to sell promoter stake, said investors are showing interest in picking up a stake in the company.

“The board took on record that the company has received non-binding indicative term sheets as part of the proposed corporate restructuring of the company and any proposals approved will constitute a part of the resolution plan,” DHFL informed the exchanges after its board meeting on Monday.

DHFL promoters are looking to divest half of their stake (about 39%) to raise about ₹5,000 crore.

The mortgage lender, which has a debt of ₹80,000 crore (of which 50% is in the form of bank loans), has been facing a cash crunch since October last year and defaulted on commercial paper repayment.

Banks are in talks with the company for a resolution plan involving longer repayment period as well as a change in management control.
