A consortium of alternative investment firm Varde Partners and institutional asset manager Arena has submitted a revised bid for the debt-laden Srei group entities after its previous plan was termed as “non-compliant”, sources said on Sunday.

Plans of the resolution applicants will be put up for voting after submission of a viability report by Dun & Bradstreet on the offers vying to acquire the assets of debt-ridden Srei Infrastructure Finance Ltd (SIFL) and Srei Equipment Finance Ltd (SEFL).

“The consortium has sent a plan and it will be verified only on Monday whether it is compliant or not,” a company source told PTI.

“Dun & Bradstreet is supposed to submit its viability report on the resolution plans by January 10. After that the voting process by the committee of creditors (CoC) will be undertaken,” another source said.

Varde Partners-Arena had sent a plan after the close of the “challenge mechanism” window on Tuesday and claimed to be the highest bidder but the offer was rejected by the lenders’ committee, terming it as “non-compliant” with norms.

The consortium was allowed time till midnight of Saturday to make a bid compliant with norms for the debt-laden Srei group entities.
