New Delhi: Good news has come after a long time for bankrupt businessman Anil Ambani. His company Reliance Infrastructure has repaid most of its debt while Reliance Power’s stock once again went into the upper circuit. Reliance Infra said on Wednesday that it has reduced its standalone external debt by a significant 806%. This amount has come down from Rs 3,831 crore to Rs 475 crore. This led to a rise of more than seven percent in the company’s shares. It had gone up to Rs 254.40 per share during trading on the BSE. Mumbai-headquartered Reliance Infra announced that one of its lenders Invent Assets Securitization and Reconstruction Private Limited has renewed some charged securities to recover its dues. This has made Invent ARC’s fund-based dues completely zero. Reliance Infra informed that it has fully paid its funded outstanding dues to major financial institutions including LIC, Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company, ICICI Bank, Union Bank and several other lenders. This major reduction in debt is a major achievement for the company.
