<p>The Union Bank of India has approved Indosolar’s proposal for one-time settlement (OTS), according to a Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) filing. The debt of the Union Bank of India has been standing for over 9 years now.</p>
<p>The proposal has two components, serviceable debt and non-serviceable debt. The serviceable debt component will be paid within six years and the last installment will be due on or before March 31, 2014. The non-serviceable debt component will be converted into optionally convertible cumulative redeemable preference shares (OCCRPS) and redeemed within four years starting April 1, 2024.</p>
<p>According to Mercom India Research, Indosolar’s debt issues have been dragging on for few years now. In 2015, lenders to Indosolar including Union Bank of India gave the company a fresh lease of life through a second loan recast after it could not even service its debts.</p>
<p>“The company has been incurring losses as there’s less demand of Indian modules due to cost constraints, this one-time settlement will help the company turnaround its business. Out of the past few years, not one has been profitable for us as a company,” said a Indosolar executive.</p>
<p>According to annual returns and financial statements filed by Indosolar up to March 31, 2016, the total registered charges of Indosolar stands at ₹43,02,91,05,000.00 (20 charges) out of which, charges amounting ₹1,109.92 Cr (1 charge) are still open and ₹3,192.99 Cr (19 charges) are satisfied and closed. Overall, Union Bank of India held highest open charge, amounting ₹11,09,92,00,000.00.</p>
<p>According to financial statements filed by Indosolar up to March 31, 2017, the company’s current liabilities exceeded the current assets by ₹132838.84 lakhs.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://mercomindia.com/research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mercom’s Solar Manufacturing Tracker</a>, Indosolar has installed solar cell manufacturing capacity of 260 MW.</p>
<p>Indian solar manufacturers have been struggling to compete with cheaper Chinese solar cell and module imports. In June this year, Indian solar manufacturers filed an <a href="https://mercomindia.com/breaking-india-initiates-anti-dumping-proceedings-solar-imports-china-taiwan-malaysia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-dumping petition</a> with the Ministry of Trade and Commerce, against Chinese solar modules and cells. Domestic manufacturers are hoping for a reversal in their fortunes once the antidumping tariff is imposed.</p>
