Few revelations
Update as on 8th October
Here is
the disclosure given by SREI equipment finance for its NCD's on the NSE's
website.
They say
that their net asset coverage ratio has fallen to 45% but their gross coverage
ratio is still 100%(Link
here). They haven’t given this disclosure to exchanges for the main listed
entity that is SREI infra.
Apart from this there is a 564 page pdf file containing all the financial statement of the SREI group, (page number 131 link here) Probable connected, related party transaction. Totalling up to Crores 8,575 are found.
Recently the
Alternative investment Fund which was the connecting link in these “probable”
related party transaction was sold off for 1.33 crores (circular dated 12th
September link
here)
These things were not disclosed until recently.
Similar
another line of Business or a brand “Quippo”
I-Quippo
was originally launched Srei Infra, then the control was transferred to the “Kanoria
foundation” the current promoter entity of SREI group.
“Daal mai kuch kala nahi, puri ki puri daal hi kaali hai”
If SREI didn’t
maintained transparency in disclosure and communication why would anyone trust
them?
RBI is in
hurry to put SREI into IBC because they simply don’t trust the promoters.
“SREI Company has in the past bided
for assets & companies that were bankrupt.
Today SREI itself is facing
Bankruptcy…”
Initially
I felt that restructuring is a better option for SREI as opposed to taking it into
the IBC.
But now based revelation of certain facts I understand the worry of banks and RBI, if Kanorias are let to run SREI for some more time, maybe they’ll siphon off more assets and in future the recovery percentage might even be lower.
Current situation is that based on the case of DHFL, our Reserve bank of India thinks a similar resolution could be worked for SREI by taking it into insolvency and bankruptcy court.
Looking
at the Zeal of the RBI, it seems most probably by the end of this financial
year the company would end up in the IBC.
Update as on 17th December
Investors have been provided a link where all the latest updates relating to the IBC are made available, https://dataroomforibc.co.in/#/main-dashboard
Based on the presentation and the tentative timelines, here is what can be expected.

Based on the above last date mentioned which is in month of May, 2022.It is expected that by June the payment could be received for the NCD investments
