The call for EoIs is a part of the asset monetisation process as per the ‘Report on Progress and Way Forward’ submitted by IL&FS to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in October 2018 which was later filed in the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal.
“The potential transaction and the process thereof are an integral part of the steps outlined in the report, and are expected to assist the Board of Directors of IL&FS appointed pursuant to the orders of the NCLT in October 2018, in part, in evolving the resolution plan(s) outlined in the report,” it said.
Arpwood Capital and JM Financial have been appointed to assist in the potential transaction.
