Housing Development and Infrastructure has offered to settle its outstanding dues with Jammu and Kashmir Bank by May 2 after the lender filed an insolvency plea against the company before the National Company Law Tribunal. According to a Cogencis report, in January, the company had offered a one-time settlement to the bank and had agreed to pay ₹280 crore by March 31, the lender’s lawyer told the tribunal. However, the settlement talks did not fructify, he said. HDIL’s total outstanding dues to J&K Bank could not be ascertained. Reacting to the news, shares of HDIL recovered 4 per cent from a low of ₹40.55 to close at ₹41.65, up 0.6 per cent over the previous day’s close. Shares of J&K Bank slipped 1.41 per cent at ₹59.25 on the NSE.
