RInfra, Rpower say Enforcement Directorate concludes searches
The company continues to operate in the normal course and the said action has no impact on its business operations, said two separate statements issued by both RInfra as well as RPower. 'The action by ED has concluded at all locations. The company and all its officials have fully cooperated and will continue to cooperate with the authority,' RPower said in its latest stock exchange filing. New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) Reliance Group firms Reliance Infrastructure (RInfra) and Reliance Power (RPower) on Sunday said the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has concluded searches at their premises and the companies will continue to cooperate with the federal probe agency. On Saturday, the ED carried out searches against the companies of Reliance Group chairman Anil Ambani in Mumbai for the third day and recovered a number of documents and computer peripherals from multiple locations, according to official sources. The raids were launched on July 24 by the federal probe agency as part of an alleged Rs 3,000-crore bank loan fraud-linked money laundering case apart from multiple other allegations of financial irregularities with crores of rupees by certain companies. 'The action by the ED has had no impact on the business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders,' the two companies said in their stock exchange filings. Anil D. Ambani is not on the boards of RInfra and RPower. Accordingly, any action taken against RCOM or RHFL has no bearing or impact on the governance, management, or operations of RInfra and RPower, the two companies said. According to ED sources, the investigation primarily pertains to allegations of illegal loan diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore, given by the Yes Bank to the group companies of Ambani between 2017 and 2019. The Union government had informed the Parliament recently that the State Bank of India has classified RCOM along with Ambani as 'fraud' and was also in the process of lodging a complaint with the CBI. A bank loan 'fraud' of more than Rs 1,050 crore between RCOM and Canara Bank is also under the scanner of the ED apart from some 'undisclosed' foreign bank accounts and assets, the ED sources said. Reliance Mutual fund is also stated to have invested Rs 2,850 crore in AT-1 bonds and a 'quid pro quo' is suspected here by the agency. Additional Tier 1 (AT-1) are perpetual bonds issued by banks to increase their capital base and they are riskier than traditional bonds having higher interest rates. An alleged loan fund diversion of about Rs 10,000 crore involving Reliance Infrastructure too is under the scanner of the agency. PTI ABI HVA This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Sotefin Bharat plans Rs 80 crore IPO to build parking robot unit for automated parking in Bengal
'We are in the process of launching an IPO, which will help us become Atmanirbhar in the production of robots used in automated parking systems. The robot manufacturing facility will require around Rs 40 crore, while the remaining Rs 40 crore will be largely used for debt reduction and enhancing working capital to undertake larger projects,' Sotefin Bharat Managing Director & CEO Arup Choudhuri told PTI. The entire issue will be a fresh equity offer, with no stake dilution by the promoters or existing PE funds, a top company official said. Kolkata, Jul 27 (PTI) Swiss automated parking solutions major Sotefin SA's Indian subsidiary, Sotefin Bharat, on Sunday said it will hit the capital market to raise Rs 80 crore to support indigenous manufacturing of robots for automated parking systems in West Bengal. The company has announced a new manufacturing facility at Bagnan in West Bengal's Howrah district, entailing an investment of approximately Rs 40 crore. Once fully operational with in-house robotic manufacturing capabilities, the state-of-the-art plant is expected to create over 100 jobs and significantly boost Sotefin Bharat's production capacity, Choudhuri said. The facility is projected to support the creation of over 10,000 automated car parks or 25 automated parking projects per year, he added. The equity structure of the company is evenly held by two Indian promoters—Arup Choudhuri and Jignesh Sanghvi—Swiss partner Sotefin SA, and a clutch of PE funds, each holding 25 per cent. Post IPO, the fresh issue will dilute all existing promoter holdings by 6.25 per cent, taking public shareholding to nearly 25-26 per cent, Choudhuri said. The listing will also help unlock value, and the company is currently working with merchant bankers to prepare the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), which is expected to be filed with the regulator within a month. The company has also started exporting its systems to the US and Dubai, officials said. 'Our order book currently stands at Rs 1,000 crore, which should support a 50–60 per cent growth over the next 3–4 years,' said Executive Director Jignesh Sanghvi.

Consumer forum orders LIC to pay Rs 21 lakh to complainant
Udupi: The Udupi district consumer disputes redressal commission ordered the LIC of India to pay Rs 21,03,089 with 9% interest to an applicant. The applicant, Srinivasa Nayak from Bannanje, took an LIC policy of Rs 25 lakh on June 28, 2020, for his minor daughter Siri Nayak, with an annual premium of Rs 1,32,304. The policy had a term of 20 years, with a plan to return the full amount on the 21st year, according to the complainant. In June 2022, the applicant's daughter suffered from a severe fever and was treated at a hospital in Udupi. She recovered but suffered from fever again, and despite treatment, she passed away on Feb 18, 2023, at a hospital in Manipal. Born in 2015, in Udupi, the child was healthy at birth with no health issues, and the applicant had paid three annual premiums by the time of her death. After her passing, the applicant submitted all necessary documents to the Udupi LIC office, seeking an insurance claim of Rs 25 lakh. However, the insurance company rejected the claim on April 4, 2024, alleging undisclosed pre-existing health issues at birth, and refunded only Rs 3,96,911, the amount paid in premiums. The applicant then appealed to the Insurance Ombudsman in Bengaluru but the outcome there was also not favourable. Subsequently, a complaint was filed against LIC with Udupi district consumer disputes redressal commission. The commission president Sunil T Masaraddi and member Sujata B Koralli ruled in favour of the applicant, ordering LIC to pay Rs 21,03,089 with 9% interest, along with Rs 25,000 for mental agony and harassment, and Rs 10,000 for litigation costs, stated advocates H Anand Madivala and Deepak Kumar Poojari, who represented the applicant.
