Edelweiss ARC exits Adhunik as Davidson Kempner takes control
Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company
will make a full exit from Adhunik Power & Natural Resources (APNRL), recovering about ₹1,250 crore, after global alternative asset manager
Davidson Kempner
issued a ₹1,400 crore loan to the power producer and its promoter-linked entities.
The funds, structured as 10-year
non-convertible debentures
(NCDs) with a 16.89% coupon, will be used to refinance Edelweiss's outstanding debt and to acquire its equity and optionally convertible debentures (OCDs) in Adhunik, giving the ARC a clean exit.

Of the total, ₹1,250 crore was lent directly to Adhunik Power, with the remaining routed through group companies.
The fresh refinancing will help Adhunik lower its restructured debt of ₹2,800 crore while also reducing the cost of borrowing.
A spokesperson for Davidson Kempner declined to comment while Edelweiss did not comment.
Live Events
Edelweiss, which had acquired Adhunik via the insolvency resolution route, had been gradually monetising its exposure through asset sales and repayments. The latest deal marks the end of Edelweiss's involvement, transferring control to Davidson Kempner-backed entities.
In 2017, Edelweiss ARC took on debt from
State Bank of India
for ₹3,200 crore under a 15:85 cash-to-security receipts structure, wherein 15% was paid in cash and 85% in security receipts (SRs). Adhunik has since improved its financial position, recently recovering ₹780 crore from discoms, improving its liability reduction and operational stability.
Davidson Kempner's fund helped Adhunik cut borrowing costs by 4-5% compared to prior obligations. The refinancing deal also tracks a recovery in valuations of Adhunik's 540 MW
coal-based thermal plant
in Jharkhand from ₹2 crore/MW to ₹3-3.5 crore/MW, supporting a viable debt load of around ₹1,600 crore.
Adhunik Power has also boosted its liquidity after recovering ₹780 crore from discoms.

Swiss watchmaker Swatch apologies for ad showing gesture seen as racist
Swiss watchmaker Swatch apologized Monday for an ad campaign that upset consumers in China and elsewhere and said it had "immediately removed all related materials worldwide." In an image for the Swatch Essentials collection, an Asian male model is shown pulling the edges of his eyelids upward and backward with his fingers - a gesture seen as derogatory and racist, Swiss public broadcaster SRF reported. Swatch wrote on Instagram that "we sincerely apologize for any distress or misunderstanding this may have caused." It said it would "treat this matter with the utmost importance." SRF reported that the apology was also posted on the Chinese social network Weibo in Chinese and English.

Swiss Watchmaker 'Swatch' Apologises, Pulls Down Advertisement After Online Backlash in China
Last Updated: Swiss watchmaker Swatch apologised and pulled its ads in China after backlash over a model's 'slanted eye' pose, criticised as racist. Swiss watchmaker Swatch issued an apology and pulled down its advertisements across China, featuring images of an Asian male model after the company faced backlash over the model pulling the corners of his eyes up and backwards in a 'slanted eye" pose. The images for the Swatch Essentials collection were widely condemned online in the country, where many said the model appeared to mimic racist taunts about Asian eyes. In an apology posted in both Chinese and English on its official account on the Weibo social media platform on Saturday, Swatch said that it has 'taken note of the recent concerns" and removed all related materials worldwide. 'We sincerely apologise for any distress or misunderstanding this may have caused," the statement mentioned. It also posted the same apology on Instagram. Swatch, which also makes Omega, Longines and Tissot watches, is heavily exposed to China for revenue, with around 27 per cent of the group's sales last year coming from the China, Hong Kong and Macau region. Meanwhile, shares in the company slipped by as much as 2.7 per cent in early trading on Monday before paring losses somewhat. Revenue for the watchmaker slumped 14.6 per cent to 6.74 billion Swiss francs ($8.4 billion) in 2024, hit by a downturn in demand in China, where Swatch said it was seeing 'persistently difficult market conditions and weak demand for consumer goods overall". view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
