Lenders to Kishore Biyani-led Future Retail (FRL) are considering converting part of its debt into equity before a possible sale to a rival.

The final decision on the debt restructuring of the company could be taken within a month, as the company will be unable to service its debt once the moratorium on loan repayment ends in August-end, sources in the know said.
