Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) said on Tuesday it aims to resolve 50 per cent of its debt by March 2020 and had identified resolution plans for all of its 302 entities.

The indebted conglomerate's non-executive chairman Uday Kotak made the comment a year after the government replaced IL&FS management with a team he leads, following a series of defaults that triggered concerns of a bad debt crisis in India's shadow banking sector.

IL&FS has a total debt of close to a trillion rupees and Mr Kotak-led management has put several of its group companies up for sale to raise funds to pay off creditors.

The group plans to resolve a "significant quantum of addressable debt" by March 2020, it said in a progress report filed to the exchanges.

"We are quite confident that we should cross the 50 per cent mark (debt) based on our best estimate and judgment as we sit," Mr Kotak, Asia's richest banker, told reporters.

So far, the company has found ways to resolve Rs 36,400 crore of its debt, it said.

The group said it considering options including infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) to resolve the debts of nine of its 14 domestic transportation assets.

"For the roads, where we have felt that either the bids are lower than what we would like and the roads for which we have not received any bids, but which are completed roads, this is the first time we are making this announcement - we are seriously considering InvITs," said Kotak, whose term as non-executive chairman of IL&FS was extended on Tuesday by New Delhi for a year to October 2, 2020.

The group added that discussions with creditors on restructuring ITPCL - its Tamil Nadu-based thermal energy company laden with a debt of Rs 8000 crore - is at an "advanced stage".
