McLeod Russel India Limited's Board of Directors has approved three key matters on May 15, 2026. First, the company accepted a One-Time Settlement (OTS) from J.C. Flowers Asset Reconstruction Private Limited (JCF ARC) to settle outstanding dues of Rs. 749.80 crore for just Rs. 150 crore, payable in tranches by June 30, 2027. This covers approximately 20.58% of the company's total institutional loan. Second, the board re-appointed Mr. Aditya Khaitan as Managing Director for another 3 years effective May 17, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. Third, the company signed an MoU to sell Mathura Tea Estates in West Bengal for Rs. 34.19 crore to part-pay debt under the NARCL restructuring plan, with completion expected by July 31, 2026. The Mathura Tea Estates contributed 3% of the company's total turnover in FY 2024-25.
This announcement signals significant debt reduction for the company, with the OTS cutting debt by nearly Rs. 600 crore. The asset sale further supports debt repayment. However, the involvement of ARCs indicates prior loan stress or NPA classification, which may concern investors about the company's credit history.
