Triggers:
#The current market cap of the company is only
Rs.260.29 crore against H1FY20 earning of Rs.811 crore.

#The Book value of the shares of Reliance Capital is Rs. 350.63 against the CMP of Rs.10.25.

#Anil Ambani, recently vowed to do more, to streamline the group’s overall operations, including exiting the lending business under Reliance Capital and repaying another ₹15,000 crore of the group’s debt by March 2020.

#The two lending businesses — Reliance Commercial Finance (RCF) and Reliance Home Finance (RHF) — have an asset base of over ₹25,000 crore.

#Anil Ambani further said: The Reliance Group has repaid over ₹35,000 crore in the 14 months till May 2019 and will be paying another ₹15,000 crore till March 2020, aggregating to over ₹50,000 crore through monetisation and cash flows to lenders.

#Anil Ambani controlled ADA Group has over ₹60,000 crore receivables stuck in regulatory and arbitration matters; which are pending since as much as 5 - 10 years.
This is almost twice the group's debt ($5 billion)  as of September,  2019.

#The entire Reliance Nippon Life Asset Management (RNAM). stake monetisation proceeds of around Rs.6,000 crore to be received through stake sale via offer for sale and transaction with Nippon Life Insurance of Japan will be utilised to reduce Reliance Capital’s outstanding debt.
Based on the above facts, and other asset monetisation deals currently underway, Reliance Capital hopes to reduce debt by at least Rs.12,000 crore (US$ 1.7 billion), or 70%, in the current fiscal.

#As of March 2018, the Reliance Group companies had a total debt of over Rs.1.7 lakh crore which reduced to Rs.93,900 crore in July 2019, excluding Reliance Communications, after the sale of major assets and businesses. Therefore, the things have started to look more brighter for the ADA Group.

#In December,  201, there were media reports that a UK High Court dismissed an application for summary judgment by Chinese banks for a $680 million claim against Anil Ambani. The court, however, has asked Ambani's legal team to submit further evidence in his defence and prove that the claim by Chinese lenders holds no merit.

#Global distressed asset buyers are picking up Reliance Capital’s junkrated debt securities following an assurance by its home finance unit that 98% of retail debenture holders will get their money back, dealers said. Reliance Capital bonds worth ₹565 crore changed hands in the secondary market in seven transactions.
