On the macro front, the Government of India promulgated yesterday, 23 November 2017, the ordinance to amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (the Code). Earlier the President of India had given his assent to the ordinance to amend the code.

The ordinance aims at putting in place safeguards to prevent unscrupulous, undesirable persons from misusing or vitiating the provisions of the code. The amendments aim to keep-out such persons who have wilfully defaulted, are associated with non-performing assets, or are habitually non-compliant and, therefore, are likely to be a risk to successful resolution of insolvency of a company.

In addition to putting in place restrictions for such persons to participate in the resolution or liquidation process, the amendment also provides such check by specifying that the committee of creditors ensure the viability and feasibility of the resolution plan before approving it. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has also been given additional powers.

Today's Calls:

1. Buy Suzlon Energy Ltd at around Rs.13.90 - 14, for targets of Rs.17-17.5, in the short term. U.S. crude hit a two-year high in thin trade on Thursday as the shutdown of a major crude pipeline from Canada and a draw on fuel inventories pointed to a tightening market, despite rising output from U.S. producers. This is likely to give an upward kick to all the energy stocks in the near term.
Suzlon Energy, promoted by Tulsi Tanti, is a fully integrated wind power solutions provider. It provides services such as wind resource mapping, land and infrastructure development, creation of power evacuation facilities, component manufacturing, and wind turbine installation in both domestic and international markets.

Suzlon Energy also undertakes the manufacturing and machining of large forging and casting products through its various subsidiaries.

Suzlon Energy entered a corporate debt restructuring (CDR) exercise in 2013 after defaulting on foreign currency convertible debt (FCCB) repayments in 2012 as overall debt peaked close to Rs12,000 crore. The firm had debt of Rs6,198 crore in FY17.

The company has since then tried to cut debt by monetizing assets. In 2015, Suzlon sold its German subsidiary REpower Systems (now known as Senvion) to US private equity firm Centrebridge for Euro 1 billion (about Rs7,000 crore). The sale was followed by an investment of Rs1,800 crore in Suzlon Energy by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd chairman Dilip Shanghvi and his family for a 23% stake. According to recent report by credit rating agency Care Ratings, the financial position of Suzlon Energy has improved.
