Subhiksha compromise formula runs into trouble

The compromise suggestion which creditors offered for settling the Subhiksha Trading Services imbroglio isn’t going to be decided quickly.

For one thing, Subhiksha says it can offer the needed funding, of Rs 250 crore, only after the court okays its proposed merger with Chennai-based Blue Green Construction, already a contentious issue. For another, some of the creditors say they don’t agree with the scheme; Kotak Bank, ICICI Ventures and Zash Investments have told the court they have various objections.

Accordingly, the court deferred the hearing. It wants, first, to focus on the amalgamation scheme with Blue Green.
