ArcelorMittal to pay rs 42,000 crore for essar steel takeover
PTI, May 20, 2019, 5:23 PM IST
New Delhi: Global steel major ArcelorMittal Monday told the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) that it would pay Rs 42,000 crore, including a minimum of guarantee of Rs 2,500 crore as working capital, for acquiring debt-laden Essar Steel under the insolvency process.
Senior advocate Harish Salve appearing for ArcelorMittal also accused Ruias, former Essar Steel promoters, of creating hurdles in the resolution process of the bankrupt steel maker.
He also added that the distribution should be “equitable” between financial creditors and operational creditors. The NCLAT would continue to hear the Essar Steel insolvency case on May 21.
Earlier, Essar Steel Asia Holdings Ltd (ESAHL), a shareholder of Essar Steel Ltd, has alleged that ArcelorMittal chairman and chief executive officer, L.N. Mittal, has suppressed vital facts that would otherwise render him ineligible to offer a buyout plan for the distressed steel mill under Section 29A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
It had also sought disqualification of ArcelorMittal’s bid for the debt-laden company.
