Realty developer Vatika Group has sold multiple land parcels worth Rs 450 crore and the company’s shares worth Rs 170 crore.
The company has used the money to give exits to lenders like Piramal Enterprises, HDFC, Indiabulls, ICICI Bank and Standard Chartered Bank.
The company has also used sales receivables of Rs 500 crore from finished investiture to pay off debt, a move that the company aims to continue till next few months.
In total, Vatika Group has retired debt worth Rs 1,109 crore within 11 months. The company will continue focusing on inventory sales to serve the twin-purpose of clearing debt and raising funds for construction.
Some of the major repayments include a repayment of Rs 304 crore to Piramal Enterprises, Rs 108 crore to HDFC, Rs 519 crore to Indiabulls, Rs 82 crore to ICICI Bank and Rs 74 crore to Standard Chartered Bank.
The company has also given exit to Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC by purchasing their share in two residential projects in Gurugram.
The biggest land parcel sold was 37.18 acre to a local developer and money was used to give exit to Piramal Enterprises. Similarly, there were smaller parcels which have been sold recently. The idea is to reduce the interest burden and complete under-construction projects.
