Rebids for DHFL likely, suitors to get chance to revise offers: Report
Apart from this, bidders have also been given the freedom by DHFL's CoC to bid either for a portion of the loan book or for the entire portfolio. However, the creditors are likely to inform bidders about the rules for rebidding on December 3.
Earlier on Tuesday, reports arrived that most of the creditors of DHFL were leaning towards a rebid for the debt-laden company. Also, bidders included Adani Group, Piramal Group, SC Lowy and Oaktree Capital may get time to revise their bids, added the report.
In 2019, DHFL became the first non-banking finance company (NBFC) which was taken to the bankruptcy court.
Among other details, CoC have also sought the advise of former attorney general Mukul Rohatgi on if rebids can be done in the current situation considering three bidders are against Adani's new bid.
Initially, Adani had bid for DHFL's wholesale and Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) portfolio, however, the firm submitted an offer for the entire book. Meanwhile, rival groups alleged that Adani had even missed the initial deadline.
