In a major step towards resolving its overall debt, IL&FS on Thursday announced completion of its 49 per cent stake sale in Chinese road asset, Chongqing Yuhe Expressway Co Ltd (CYEC), which would help the company to address debt of about Rs 2,600 crore.
It sold the stake to China Merchants & PingAn Infrastructure Phase 1 Equity Investment Fund (Tianjin) Co Ltd (PingAn), a fund jointly owned by PingAn Insurance and China Merchants.
This is the largest transaction for IL&FS since the sale of its wind energy assets to Orix, IL&FS said in a statement.
