Stressed assets of commercial banks worth Rs 2 lakh crore have been identified to be taken up in
the first phase by the NARCL.
NARCL will be starting with a total capital of Rs 6,000 crore.
In October 2021, NARCL received the RBI’s license to enable it to commence operations as a ‘bad
bank’.
Public Sector Banks (PSBs) have a 51% ownership of NARCL.
Banks will aggregate and consolidate stressed assets with NARCL for resolution.
NARCL’s Managing Director is PM Nair, a stressed assets expert from the State Bank of India (SBI).
IDRCL is an operational entity/service company that would manage the assets and engage
professionals and turnaround experts in the process.
PSBs and public FIs would hold a maximum of 49% stake in IDRCL while the remaining 51%
will be vested with private lenders.
Stressed assets acquired by NARCL will be managed by IDRCL for price discovery and value
addition.
Under the process, the lead bank will go for the Swiss Challenge form of public procurement in which
other ARCs will be invited to make offers to find the higher valuation of the stressed assets on sale.
