NARCL raises ₹670 cr in fresh equity from existing shareholders

The government-promoted National Asset Reconstruction Company (NARCL) has raised ₹670 crore equity from existing shareholders and is in the process of raising ₹3,200 crore debt to support its plan to acquire ₹1 lakh crore of stressed assets. However, the bond issuance has faced challenges due to pricing differences between existing shareholders and the NARCL board. The ARC aims to raise funds through a five-year bond and fund-based limits but is negotiating the coupon rate with shareholders.
