Three Firms Line Up to Buy Morarjee Textiles Morarjee Textiles Limited (BSE:532621) has received three bids to take over the company in a court monitored bankruptcy process, people familiar with the details said. Morarjee owes creditors, led by Indian Bank, INR 7.60 billion. Last month, resolution professional Ravi Sethia received bids from Mumbai-based realtor Dev Land and Housing, Nagpur-based Nirmal Ujjwal Credit Co-operative Society, and Wardha-based Shriniwas Spintex Industries. “The bids are between INR 1 billion and INR 1.70 billion. Nirmal Ujjwal, which also runs a textile plant, is the highest bidder with a bid of close to INR 1.70 billion, excluding the process costs. Roughly INR 1.70 billion is for secured creditors,” said one of the persons cited above. At INR 1.70 billion, the recovery works out to 22%. Sethia, all three bidders and process advisor to the committee of creditors, BoB Capital Markets, did not reply to separate emails seeking comment. “The bids are still being evaluated. Bankers also want to make sure that section 29A of the IBC is not violated, which is taking some time,” said a second person aware of the details.
