McLeod negotiates with investors to monetise assets, infuse fresh capital

Carbon Resources pins hope on debt plan for stressed McLeod Russel

Carbon Resources, which has recently submitted a plan to the lenders of debt-laden McLeod Russel in a bid to acquire a controlling stake in the stressed tea major, is pinning hope on its non-binding offer, a company official said on Sunday. The carbon product manufacturer had picked up a 5.03 per cent stake in McLeod Russel in September and made the Rs 1,245-crore offer for the resolution of debt of the bulk tea producer. "Bankers held a meeting with us on October 1, post our non-binding offer sent to them in September. They have asked for a detailed plan for which we have sought some data. However, bankers are yet to share that. We are waiting for their response and are hopeful about our plan," Carbon Resources finance head Mahendra Sharma told PTI. He also said the company is optimistic after the meeting with the bankers, as lenders asked for a detailed "rehabilitation" proposal for 'ailing' McLeod Russel. His comment came days after the BM Khaitan family, the existing promoters
