NARCL Recovers Over Rs 575 Crore from Agson Global, Marks Fifth Exit
The National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. (NARCL), a state-backed entity, has recovered over Rs 575 crore from Agson Global, a manufacturer of aroma ingredients, marking its fifth successful exit from a stressed-loan account. Agson Global entered insolvency proceedings following a petition by the erstwhile Allahabad Bank, now part of Indian Bank. NARCL had acquired the debt at a discount, enabling full redemption of security receipts issued to lenders and distributing an additional nearly Rs 200 crore to banks. This recovery follows similar exits involving Wind World India, Metenere, Helios International, and SSA International.
