Major lenders are likely to give their approval for the revenue stream-wise demerger of Vedanta by the end of May, a senior executive at the natural resources conglomerate. "Right now, the file is with Sebi. The important step that remains is securing the lenders' approval," group chief financial officer Ajay Goel said.
Mumbai-listed Vedanta had declared a demerger in September last year. It intends to form six companies, each of which will house its different businesses - aluminium, power, oil and gas, br metals and steel. Goel reiterated that the demerger is on track to be concluded by the end of the calendar year.
"We need 75% (by value) approval, and already have the approval from multiple private lenders. Approvals from some lenders, including State Bank of India and Canara Bank, are pending. We are working with the bankers and should be getting approvals by end of May," Goel said.
SBI has loaned Vedanta around ₹9,208 crore, while the exposure of Canara Bank is ₹1,730 crore, showed disclosures made by rating agencies. These include term loans. "There is no concern or apprehension at the banks' end. There could be queries around debt allocation. For example, if a loan is given to Vedanta, to which of the new companies will the loan go post the demerger (is the query type)," he said.
Vedanta's consolidated net sales fell 6% on year to ₹34,937 crore. Consolidated net profit fell 27% on year to ₹2,273 crore.
