Anil Agarwal ki Vedanta Resources ne apne holding company debt ko sambhalne ke liye ek bada kadam uthaya hai. Company lagbhag $5.5 billion (around ₹46,000 crore) ko refinance karne ki koshish mein hai.
Kyun ho raha hai yeh sab?
Asal mein, company chahti hai ki debt ki repayment schedule, unke operating units se aane wale dividend income se match kare. Isse jab commodity prices girte hain toh cash flow par zyada pressure nahi padega. Vedanta 10-year bonds aur 5-year loans ka mix iss refinance plan mein dekh raha hai.
Kis-kis se baat chal rahi hai?
Vedanta Resources management ne haal hi mein Citi, JP Morgan, Mashreq Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Barclays, Standard Chartered, aur Deutsche Bank jaise aath bade global banks se milkar discuss kiya hai. Haalanki kuch banks ne comment karne se mana kar diya hai, lekin yeh talks ek bade financial move ki taraf ishara kar rahe hain.
Future outlook kya hai?
February tak, Vedanta Resources par lagbhag $5.5 billion ka holding company debt tha. Aane wale 3 saal tak company ko har saal $500-600 million ka repayment karna hai, jo FY30 mein badhkar $1.25 billion tak ho sakta hai. Analysts expect kar rahe hain ki FY26-28 mein group ke listed entities ka EBITDA 19-42% CAGR se badhega. S&P Global ka estimate hai ki FY27-28 tak EBITDA $7 billion tak pahunch sakta hai. Fitch Ratings ne bhi company ke proactive refinancing aur financial discipline ki tareef ki hai.
