Green finds that the debt has risen to around $6.8 billion. As of the
temporary reprieve has been assigned to its banks, who have agreed to debt
obligation which was a part of planned debt restructuring.
This reprieve was already predicted upon RCom which gave an
advantage of reducing the debt by Rs 250 billion with a merger with Aircel.
This would also give a benefit to the firm for selling the stake in its mobile
masts arm to a unit of Canada’s Brookfield Asset Management.
RCom said on Sunday that it had agreed with Aircel to call
off the merger due to regulatory delays and legal uncertainties. It is unclear
whether the collapse of the RCom-Aircel deal will affect the Brookfield
transaction.
